Ecosafe - Calender - Laminating System

Klieverik has, in co-operation with leading suppliers in the automotive
industry, developed the Ecosafe™. An eco-friendly and versatile system which
can be used to laminate any type of substrate. It is also an economically
attractive alternative to, for instance flame bonding systems. The Ecosafe™
calender and technology have been patented worldwide.

Ecosafe™ technology

The Ecosafe is a laminating concept that brings together a number of unique
performance properties. This processor can operate in-line with just any
thermoplastic glue application unit. Recommended is the use of a powder
scattering device in combination with thermoplastic glues. However, other glue
application units, such as spray coating, screen coating and other units, can
also be installed in front of the Ecosafe™.

The speed of the Ecosafe™ can get as high as 100 metres per minute. This
velocity can be reached because the machine only heats the glue and the surface
of the 2nd substrate, instead of the whole package of materials.

Another important technological advantage is that the glue can be applied
onto or into the substrate. This is a result of the possibility to regulate the
temperature of both substrates separately in combination with the pressure. This
implies that with optimal (minimal) glue consumption, a maximum bonding can be
reached and that the hand of the laminated materials can be controlled. Also
rigid materials, such as expanded polyurethane, hardboard and even non-flexible
panels can be processed on the Ecosafe™ without any problem.

Advantages Ecosafe™

Environmental friendly system.

Low energy consumption.

Very high processing speeds possible (even with polyester substrates).

A large variety of substrates can be processed. Also sensitive, sheet material
and rigid materials can be processed on the Ecosafe™.

Cost savings. Ecosafe™ produces laminates of which the cost price is lower to
that of products made on other systems.
