Automatic laminating system
The Foliant Taurus 400 NG is a compact single-sided industrial laminator built for heavy-duty digital and offset work. It runs at up to 131 ft/min, produces up to 4,800 sheets per hour of 14" x 20" stock, feeds from a 21.2" pile suction feeder, and takes sheet sizes up to 15.7" x 27.5". At 131 ft/min it runs roughly 50% faster than the Foliant Mercury 400 NG, making it the pick when a print shop needs B3-format lamination at production pace in a tight footprint. A double-sided version is available as the Taurus 400 NG 4x4.

Applications
Typical work: flyers, postcards, and mailers; covers for saddle-stitched and perfect-bound books; retail packaging inserts including cartons, cards, and product sleeves; and mixed digital and offset jobs. The high-pressure system and 4,800 SPH throughput suit it to long offset runs as well as short digital work.

- Integrated motorized pallet stacker: fully automatic unloading into a high pile on pallet
- Foliant Foiler: applies metallic or spot varnish films over digital toner
- Non-sticky pressure roller for windowed or glue-sensitive jobs
- PET film module for PET lamination up to 25μm
- Film loader/manipulator: lifts rolls up to 275.5 lbs for easier changeover
- XL module: extends sheet length to 39.3" (sheets past 29.5" unload manually)
- XXL feeding table: manual feed of sheets up to 51.2" long
- Anti-static bar to reduce charge on laminated output for better stacking
Note: a jogger or pallet stacker is required for proper operation.
The Taurus 400 NG puts 131 ft/min production lamination in a footprint under 8 feet long, handles coated, thick, and long-format sheets, and sets up fast from the touchscreen. Film support extends to PET and foil with the optional modules. Call Mid-State Litho for a quote, installation, and operator training.
