Experimental Research on Air Cushion Lamination Process

The application of air cushion in lamination process in the printing and packaging field is still a new attempt. In order to further understand the effect of air cushion lamination process in practical application, an experimental research is made on air cushion lamination. The air pressure distribution simulation results are verified using experimental device, and the pressure, thickness and lamination time of air cushion are varied. In addition, a process test is made over the adhesion of the corrugated core paper and surface paper using orthogonal experiment. The results show that the air cushion lamination process is feasible for lamination and the simulated air-cushion pressure distribution is consistent with the measured results. In this experiment 1000 pa air-cushion pressure, 2 mm air cushion thickness, 3 min lamination time, selected as the process parameters for the adhesion of corrugated paper, are appropriate.
