The Foliant Mercury 530 NG 4x4 Double is a compact industrial laminator built for nonstop double-sided lamination of digitally and offset printed sheets. A suction feeder, PLC-controlled automation, and adjustable twin de-curling carry it to 88 ft/min and up to 2,300 sheets per hour, which puts it in high-volume production territory.

- OMRON PLC and touchscreen interface: icon-based control with no language barrier and automated job recall.
- Heidelberg-style suction feeder: OMRON servo-driven feed head and Becker vacuum pump for smooth, precise sheet handling.

About Foliant
Foliant is a Czech manufacturer of B2 and B1 commercial and industrial laminating equipment, including the Gemini, Mercury, Taurus, Vega, and Pollux lines. Mid-State Litho is an authorized Foliant dealer carrying the Gemini tabletop range up through the industrial Mercury, Taurus, and Pollux floor models.
Choosing an Industrial Laminator
Four factors decide the right production laminator: format and sheet size (B2 versus B1), single- versus double-sided (4x4) lamination, film type (gloss, matte, soft-touch, or digital-compatible), and automatic versus manual feed at your throughput. The Mercury 530 NG 4x4 Double on this page is the B2-format, double-sided (4x4) model that laminates both sides in one pass. For one-pass single-sided work, the single-sided Mercury 530 NG covers the same format. Compare it against the other double-sided laminators we stock, and pair it with the rest of your bindery and pressroom supplies.
