A B Graphic (ABG) International has introduced ThermoLam, a thermal laminating system for flexible packaging production.<\/p>\n

The machine is designed to operate without VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions, offering an alternative to conventional lamination methods.<\/p>\n

It is also food safe and meets relevant industry requirements, making it suitable for packaging applications where hygiene and safety standards are important.<\/p>\n

ThermoLam brings together pre-heating, cooling, corona treatment and slitting in one compact unit.<\/p>\n

The equipment can run at mechanical speeds of up to 120 metres per minute and does not require curing time, which supports shorter production cycles, lower material waste and faster completion of jobs.<\/p>\n

The company said the system\u2019s reduced footprint and front-loading roll access are intended to help with factory layout and day-to-day operation.<\/p>\n

It is also built to handle quick job changes, which may suit shorter runs and shifting production needs.<\/p>\n

Beckhoff servo control technology is used to maintain accuracy during the lamination process, while inline cutting is included to simplify workflow and limit additional handling.<\/p>\n

The machine has a modular structure, allowing it to connect with other equipment in ABG\u2019s FlexPack portfolio, including Galaxy pouch-making systems and PouchJet digital embellishment technology.<\/p>\n

ABG said it is also expanding its FlexPack activity through its Girona site, which is being developed as a Centre of Excellence for flexible packaging.<\/p>\n

The facility is intended to give customers the opportunity to see ThermoLam as part of a full production line, carry out test runs with their own materials and review operational results.<\/p>\n

ABG global sales director Matt Burton said: \u201cThermoLam represents a significant step forward in how converters approach lamination within flexible packaging. By combining performance, sustainability and ease of use in a compact, modular system, we are enabling customers to move faster, reduce waste and adapt to changing market demands. As part of our wider FlexPack strategy, ThermoLam plays a key role in delivering a fully connected production workflow.\u201d<\/p>\n
