The Foliant Vega 530A is Foliant's B2-format (to 20.8" x 29.5" / 530 mm) automatic single-side thermal laminator, built for in-house finishing of digital and offset print. It pairs an automatic vacuum-belt feeder, pneumatic bump separation, twin adjustable de-curl bars and an integrated compressor so an operator can run medium-to-high volumes with minimal intervention. As a Michigan-based authorized Foliant dealer serving the Great Lakes region since 1984, Mid-State Litho delivers, installs, trains and services the Vega 530A.

Automatic laminating system

The Vega 530A is a compact, heavy-duty automatic laminator for in-house lamination of digital and offset output. The integrated vacuum belt feeder, pneumatic bump separator, and twin adjustable de-curl bars keep operator intervention to a minimum, and the internal compressor means no external air line for standard operation. An icon-driven touchscreen controls temperature, pressure, overlap, and separation timing.

Key features

• Automatic suction feeder: rising pile stream feeder with vacuum belt head and 13.7" stack capacity
• Twin adjustable de-curl system: in-run adjustable blade for offset prints, roller for digital toner
• Pneumatic pressure system with built-in compressor; no external air needed
• High-speed bump separator delivers laminated sheets automatically and cleanly
• Heated chrome upper roller with in-roll temperature sensor, hard rubber lower roller

About Foliant Laminators

Foliant builds a full range of industrial laminators, and Mid-State Litho carries the line as an authorized dealer. The Foliant laminating range spans the Vega single-side / SF family (400A, 400SF, 530A, 530S, 530SF), the entry Gemini line (400 NG-S, 400 NG-T), and the higher-volume Mercury, Taurus, Castor and Pollux NG families. The Vega 530A sits at the automatic, B2-width end of the Vega ladder.

Choosing a Vega Laminator

Two axes narrow the Vega line for your shop:

• Format width - the 400 series handles B3 sheets (about 16"), while the 530 series (this machine) handles B2 sheets to 20.8".
• Automation and feeding - "A" models like the 530A are automatic single-side; "S" models such as the Vega 530S are manual/semi single-side; "SF" models such as the Vega 400SF add extended feeding.

If your sheets stay within B3, compare the Vega 400A; for B2 automatic finishing, the 530A is the match. Pair any Vega with complementary paper cutters and paper folders on the finishing line.
