Foliant Taurus 400 NG 4x4 Laminator | Mid-State Litho

Double-sided laminating system

The Foliant Taurus 400 NG 4x4 Double is a compact industrial double-sided thermal laminator built for nonstop lamination of digital and offset prints. It laminates both sides of the sheet in a single pass, runs at up to 131 ft/min, and turns out up to 4,800 sheets per hour at 14" x 20". Automatic suction feeding, twin de-curling, and bump separation are standard, and the footprint stays small for its output class.

Key features

• Double-sided thermal lamination in a single pass
• OMRON servo-controlled automatic suction feeder with 21.25" pile capacity and electronic overlap adjustment
• Twin de-curling unit with both blade and roller for offset or toner-sensitive stock
• Integrated bump separator with PLC-controlled rollers, feeding a jogger or pallet stacker
• Icon-based touchscreen with PLC automation and no language setup

Specifications

Applications

Typical work: book covers and manuals that need protection on both sides; folding cartons, sleeves, and packaging inserts; flyers, brochures, and postcards in short or long commercial runs; and POP signage and product cards.

Available options

• Jogger 400: vibrating stacker for 3.9" piles (required if the pallet stacker is not used)
• Integrated pallet stacker: fully automatic stacking up to 27.5" high
• Non-sticky pressure rollers for windowed sheets or adhesive-sensitive jobs (up to 2X rollers)
• Foliant Foiler: applies metallic foil or spot varnish film over digital toner
• XL module: extends max sheet length to 39.3" (manual unload past 27.5")
• XXL feeding table extension for sheets up to 51" (manual feeding only)
• PET film module, required for processing PET films (20-26μm)
• Film loader/manipulator: electric lift for rolls up to 275.5 lbs
• Anti-static bar to remove charge from laminated output for clean stacking

One-pass double-sided lamination cuts labor per job, the twin de-curl and wide stock range cover both digital and offset work, and programmable overlap, separation, and feed control keep the machine running with minimal operator attention. Operators train quickly on the touchscreen, and the option list scales the machine as production grows.

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 Taurus 400 NG 4x4 Double on this page is the B3-format, double-sided (4x4) model that laminates both sides in one pass. For one-pass single-sided work, the single-sided Taurus 400 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.
