Laminator

The XLam 3L-17/34 laminator can be used for all module technologies and supplements the Komax product range for the manufacture of crystalline modules and thin film technology solutions. This is just one more product in the Komax Solar portfolio developed with a keen eye to process quality and reliability.

XLam laminator with three processing levels and inductive hybrid heating Reproducible and precisely controllable lamination processes are crucial for achieving consistent quality in PV modules and efficient production with minimized processing times. To satisfy these requirements, the XLam 3L-17/34 incorporates hybrid heating featuring a unique and reliable induction heating system and an aluminum heating plate with a large thermal capacity and an active pin lifting system.

The machine does not need vacuum feedthroughs for thermal oil connections or temperature sensors or the pin lifting system, and has an automatic clamping/unclamping system for the membranes. These solutions are big pluses that open the way to high availability and low operating costs. With the three processing levels, operators enjoy the benefits of continuous module production, the partial availability of the machine in the event of a malfunction at one processing level, and the adaptability of laminator capacity to less than full capacity utilization in the production line. The footprint for a specific production capacity is much smaller than with standard laminators.

The conveyor and cover belts are Teflon-coated continuous belts with an active cleaning system. A cooling press with controllable cooling power is also available as an option. This feature allows the limitation of temperature transients. The machine exhibits the same craftsmanship of all other Komax products and utilizes the TopControl graphical user interface and touch screen.
