Company Profile
D&K - manufacturer of Thermal Lamination & Encapsulation Machines and Films.

Now, more than ever, Printers are looking at ways of cutting costs and increasing profitability. One way this can be achieved, with a reasonably small outlay, is to bring certain aspects of finishing in-house. With the purchase of either a Laminator or Encapsulator control can be gained over outsourcing giving shorter lead times and the creation of an additional profit centre.

D&K's machines are simple and easy to operate and have the benefit of being of low maintenance. With space often at a premium D&K have been manufacturing a range of machines with small footprints to optimise the available workspace.

The thermal process is clean and with quick start up times short runs are also an attractive proposition.

D&K manufacturers a wide range of films for Encapsulating and Laminating for all standard sheet sizes keeping waste to a minimum and our SuperStick™ range of films mean that the lamination of digital output is no longer the headache it once was.

When making a decision on the right machine to buy consideration should be given to both current and future work requirements. Whilst fully automated systems have the benefit of high productivity from a single operator, a hand fed machine, which has the option of fitting feeders or cutters at a later date, could be considered for lower initial volumes.

Every printer and print finisher’s requirements will differ so we would recommend that anyone considering bringing lamination in house should talk to D&K who can provide tailor made viability studies to assist in this important decision.


New Products

Product Title: Comet
Comet
Product Description
D & K is pleased to announce the arrival of the Comet Trade Encapsulator.

The Comet will strengthen D&K’s range of encapsulation machines and has been developed with the Trade Encapsulator and Card Market in mind.

The Comet benefits from being modular in construction and its adjustable height makes it fully compatible with a range of feeders and cutters.

The 260mm diameter Teflon coated pre-heat rollers make for scratch free results and the large 75mm diameter heated nip rollers, with advanced rubber compound, give maximum heat transfer for higher running speeds.

Amongst its many features the Comet has PLC control with modem link to enable remote diagnostics, swing out mandrels for easy film loading, pneumatic operation of all rollers to allow differing pressures on nip and pull rollers and ample cooling with variable speed fans, which only operates in start mode to save energy.

Product Title: Jupter DS B2 Thermal Lamination System
Jupter DS B2 Thermal Lamination System
Product Description
The Jupiter DS (Double-Sided) was launched in October 2009 at Grafi + Sign in Belgium and is the latest addition to the tried and tested Jupiter range. A fully automated B2 Thermal Lamination System, the new Jupiter DS has retained a compact footprint despite having the facility to laminate two-sides in one pass. It is only just over half a metre longer than the 25m or 30m single-sided versions thus allowing maximum utilization of available floor space. It is capable of speeds of up to 30m per minute single sided and 25m per minute double sided and is ideally suited for today’s print on demand market. The Jupiter DS also benefits from new technology including electrical heated rollers rather than the usual oil filled version. This results in quicker heat up times and more importantly it doesn’t retain the heat so cool down periods are greatly reduced. This means quicker changes between single and double-sided work. The fitting of air shafts on the film mandrels also enables quicker roll changes. All of these new features are aimed at increasing productivity and profitability. All of the Jupiters in the range can also be fitted with our new Stacker system.
