Rotary Bonding

Our BM series rotary bonding machines have been designed for the continuous bonding or lamination of fashion and furnishing fabrics, non-woven materials and film that uses web, mesh, powder and film adhesives.

Rotary bonding is widely used across the fashion, upholstery, technical or home textile, shoe, automotive and aerospace industries and these machines find homes within all of these sectors.

The machines can either be used as stand-alone bonding and lamination devices, or incorporated into a large production line. Many configurations are available and the rotary bonders are often part of a bespoke system and used in conjunction with a powder scattering device.

Multi-functionality is embedded into the The BM series of bonding and laimination machines. They are capable of printing foil effects onto fabric and also of being used as a sublimation calender, for the fixation and setting of disperse and pigment inks and the heat setting of fabric. The process is eco-friendly as there is no requirement to use water or solvents.

Close and constant temperature control in rotary bonding is achieved through the use of ‘oil filled’ heating drums. This provides excellent bond quality, in terms of both the adhesive penetration of the product and the uniformity of the adhesion, across the width and throughout the entire length of the roll. Temperatures of up to 235 degrees Centigrade can be achieved across the BM series range, along with speeds of up to around 15m/min dependent upon model and process.

Touch panels make these machines easy to control, whether you are setting heat or speed parameters, or programming the start-up timer.

These bonding and lamination machines can also be constructed with cylinders in a variety of widths and diameters, to suit different customers’ needs. The wider the cylinder, the wider the product that can be processed; two rolls can even be processed at the same time. The larger the drum, on the other hand, the faster the production speeds achievable.

Where rotary or flatbed bonding may not be appropriate, as would be the case in PPE production, we offer ultrasonic bonding solutions, which do exactly what is required.

Sizes and widths of the rotary bonding machines

Drum sizes available:
215, 350, 500, 600, 800, 1000mm in diameter

Working widths available:
1600 – 3200mm

Standard Equipment

  • 100% Nomex felt belts, produced in Italy
  • Belt edge control
  • Touch screen operation
  • Programmable heating and cooling, with the ability to set a timer and have the machine ready for production at the start of a shift
  • Safety chucks with quick change and heavy duty airshafts for all feed and winding positions
  • Manual fabric rewind tension control
  • Disc air brakes for the unwinding tension of the protection paper, fabric and printing paper
  • Manual brake systems for the printing and protection of paper rewinds

Optional Equipment

  • Table entry
  • Conveyor system for individual pieces
  • Extraction hood
  • Silicon-covered external bonding pressure roller
  • Internal, metal pressure roller for bonding and foiling operations
  • Web guiding equipment
  • Chilled cooling rollers
  • Motorised A-frame winding system for product exit
  • Batching arm
  • Motorised large roll feeding system for product entry
  • In-line slitting system

Different products require different parameters to achieve the correct result, so a combination of heat, time and pressure for one product may not suit a different product. Our broad experience in this field allows us to advise you on the most suitable combinations for treated, woven, non-woven, mono and bi stretch materials. To find out more, please get in touch.
