XLAM
General information
XLam laminator with three processing levels and inductive 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 a heating featuring a unique and reliable induction
heating system and an aluminium heating plate with a large thermal capacity and an active pin lifting
system.
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.
Key Features
- Asynchronous processing on 3 levels
- Processing area 1.7 x 3.4m per level
- Cooling press
- Independent operation and service of the levels
- Automatic upper and lower transport / release sheet
Benefits
- Exceptionally reproducible and stable processes thanks to the highly homogenous temperature of the heating plate
- Fast process
- High availability and low operating costs due to the reliable technical solutions employed
- Minimal footprint and adjustable production capacity featuring three independent processing levels
- Reduced need for buffer capacity because of asynchronous production in the processing levels
- Possibility of controlled module cooling and immediate further processing of modules thanks to the cooling press
Technical details
The machine does not need vacuum feed-through 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. The cooling press allows controlling the cooling power and thus 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.
The high quality, precision and reliability of Komax Solar solutions give your modules
the necessary edge over the competition.
