Foliant Vega 400SF Single-Side Laminator

Foliant Vega 400SF Single-Side Laminator

The Foliant Vega 400SF is a single-side, suction-feed commercial laminator built for print shops and finishing houses running high-volume digital and offset work. It laminates at speeds up to 65 ft/min and processes up to 2,300 sheets per hour on 14" x 20" stock, handling sheets up to 15" x 26" from 115 to 500 gsm. A deep-pile suction feeder, adapted from offset press feeders, works with a pneumatic bump separator to keep stock running cleanly, while the non-stick pressure roller resists glue and tack buildup so windowed and ink-heavy sheets run without picking. A dual decurl system, touchscreen control, and quick-change film shaft round out a machine designed for steady production-level lamination.

Mid-State Litho is an authorized Foliant dealer. We sell, install, and service the full Vega and NG laminator range across Michigan and the Great Lakes. Our factory-trained technicians set the 400SF up, dial in your film and speed, train your operators, and keep it producing. Because film configuration, stand options, and freight vary by shop, the Vega 400SF is sold as a quoted system rather than a fixed online price.

Foliant Laminators at Mid-State Litho

The Vega 400SF sits in Mid-State Litho's full Foliant laminator line as the 400mm single-side, suction-feed model. As your format width and automation needs grow, the range steps up with it. The 530-series widens the sheet format, and the Mercury, Taurus, and Pollux NG line covers wider and more automated production work.

• 400mm single-side: Vega 400SF (suction-feed) and the Vega 400A (automatic-feed).
• 530mm single-side: the Vega 530 SF and Vega 530S / 530A, for shops running wider sheets.
• Two-side lamination: the Foliant 4x4 Double models, which laminate both sides in one pass.
• Wide and production NG line: Mercury 400/530/760 NG, Taurus 400/530/760 NG, Castor 530 SF, Pollux 760 NG, and Gemini 400 NG-T / NG-S.

Mid-State Litho is the authorized Foliant dealer for all of these, so we can help you match the right format and feed type to your work before you commit. See the full laminator lineup to compare.

How to Choose a Commercial Laminator

Picking a production laminator comes down to a few decisions. The Foliant range maps cleanly to each one, so you can match the machine to the work rather than over- or under-buying.

• Sheet width. Most digital and offset shops run 400mm or 530mm formats; wide-format and production houses move up to 760mm. The Vega 400SF covers the 400mm class.
• Single-side vs two-side. If you laminate one side at a time, a single-side machine like the Vega 400SF or Vega 530 SF is the right fit. For both sides in one pass, look at the Foliant 4x4 Double models.
• Feed type. Suction-feed (SF) models pull from a deep pile for steady high-volume input; automatic-feed (A) models such as the Vega 400A and the NG-series automation suit different handling and staffing setups.
• Throughput. The Vega 400SF runs up to 65 ft/min and 2,300 sheets/hr on 14" x 20" stock, which suits steady commercial volume; the Mercury, Taurus, and Pollux NG line steps up for heavier production.

If you are weighing a 400mm machine against a wider 530mm one, or suction-feed against automatic-feed, our team will walk you through the tradeoffs. Start with the automatic laminators or ask us what fits your shop.
