Foliant Mercury 530 NG B2 Industrial Laminator
The Foliant Mercury 530 NG is the B2 single-sided workhorse of the 530 line. It runs single-pass thermal lamination on sheets up to 20.8" x 29.5" (B2) at speeds up to 88 ft/min, using automatic suction feeding, twin de-curling, and bump separation for clean, flat output on offset and digital stocks. For commercial shops that want dependable, everyday single-sided lamination at B2, the Mercury 530 NG is the practical choice in the compact Mercury build.
Mid-State Litho sells the Mercury 530 NG as a factory-trained, authorized Foliant dealer.

About Foliant Lamination Machines
Foliant's NG (New Generation) line is a family of automatic commercial laminators carried by Mid-State Litho as an authorized Foliant dealer, including the Mercury, Taurus, Vega, Gemini, Castor, and Pollux NG families. The Mercury 530 NG is the single-sided B2 workhorse of the compact Mercury line.

Choosing a Single-Sided B2 Laminator
For a single-sided B2 laminator, weigh sheet size (up to 20.8" x 29.5" here), throughput and speed (up to 88 ft/min), feeding and de-curl automation, and substrate fit. The Mercury 530 NG covers everyday single-sided B2 work with suction feeding, twin de-curling, and bump separation.
If you want more speed, the premium Foliant Taurus 530 NG runs faster at the same format; for two-sided coating, see the Foliant Mercury 530 NG 4x4; and for B1 capacity, the Foliant Mercury 760 NG. Send us your sheet sizes and volumes and we will match the machine.
