Drupa hailed a success
drupastand
John Hancock, Sales Manager - UK & Ireland, said "Despite visitor numbers contracting by about 20% since 2008 the visitors who came onto our stand had a genuine interest in either replacing or adding lamination to their portfolio with many looking to do business at the show."

Visitors from nearly 120 different countries came to see us on the D&K stand during the 14 day show. 

Robin French, Managing Director, said "Drupa confirmed the growing importance in the world market of the so called BRIC counties (Brazil, Russia, India & China), with record numbers of visitors to the stand from South America generally.  It is also evident that the print market in Eastern Europe is growing in strength.  This is already turning out to be the most successful Drupa in the company's history - very gratifying in this our 25th Anniversary year"
June - UK National Holiday

New Atlas Wide Format Laminators
atlasTo compliment our existing equipment range we are now pleased to offer the Atlas Wide Format Laminator.  Available in a variety of widths and functions.

'C' - Cold laminator range

 

Economic efficient machines for the application of pressure sensitive materials only.

Basic unit comprises top unwind, top rewind and bottom unwind (all with auto-locking of rolls).  

 

Single adjustment of aperture up to 5cms. with an LED colour-coded pressure indicator.

Push-button controls for forward/stop/reverse and speed adjustment (up to 3.5M/min).

 

'HA' - Hot Top Roller range             

                                                     

Useful for pressure sensitive laminate application.

Small footprint with robust and innovative design; work can be processed sheet to roll or roll to roll as standard. The pivoting feed tray, with safety interlock, allows speedy roll changing. Additional safety features include laser eye protection at the nip and 2 emergency stops.

 

The single chassis construction has additional roll storage and is on castors for ease of movement.  Programmable control board also allows for individual speed (up to 6M/min), temperature (from 30º to 60ºC) and pressure adjustments.

   

'HT' - Hot Top Roller range

 

For heat activated materials             

As above, but with a top roller temperature capacity up to 140º C, enabling the use of heat-activated laminates

  

MF' - Multi-function (twin heated rollers)

 

Independent infra red heating enables the use hot and cold materials - simultaneously, if desired. All gauges of encapsulating film can be processed and most popular rigid substrates can be used due to the 5cm aperture possible.

 

Robin French, Managing Director, said "We are gradually increasing our presence in print and graphic presentation markets generally.  Although probably most associated by people with encapsulating and thin film laminating, we have a comprehensive range of hot and cold materials for the wide format/business graphics market.  Participating in a long-standing D&K Group agreement to market this European range of laminators will strengthen our presence and follows the recent expansion of our range of products for the picture framing market.
