When it comes to taking care of your roll

laminator, there is really only one thing to concern yourself with. But

you should repeat it like a mantra every time you use, look at, or even

think about your laminating machine. Are you ready? Here goes: Keep the

rollers clean.

No, you don't need to clean the rollers every time you use the machine,

(a good rule of thumb is about four times a year) but the more you

think about doing so, the more often it will get done, and the longer

your machine will last. This is especially important to keep in mind

for large organizations such as schools and churches and in any

situation where the machine will see heavy use from many different

users of varying levels of experience.

There is no hard and fast rule as to how often the rollers should be

cleaned, but it is important to note that the longer you wait, the

harder the adhesive becomes, and the more difficult it is to remove.

Also important to keep in mind is that you should never, ever, use

sharp objects like Exact-o knives or any other kind of blade to scrape

the rollers clean. The rollers are made of softer rubber like material

and any sort of cut or ding will lead to even more future problems.

Here are some simple steps to keeping the rollers of your laminating machine clean:

Make sure that there isn't any film in the machine. In

fact, you might use that as a good excuse to clean the rollers every

time you change the film. Heat the machine as

if for normal operation. This will help soften the adhesive so that it

can be removed more easily. Just please be careful not to burn yourself

while you are working on the machine. When the

machine is warmed up, use a green scrubbie (aka 3M Scotch Brite pad) to

scrub the rollers. Set the machine so the rollers are moving as slowly

as possible. Never, ever use steel wool or SOS pads or anything of the

sort, as these can lead to damage. Be patient, take your time and make

sure that you are getting all the adhesive off the rollers.

When the cleaning process is finished, go ahead and install some new

rolls and remember to make sure that the feed table is engaged.

There

are some ways to help prevent problems with your rollers, and for a

heavy use machine it might be a good idea to make a sign (and laminate

it) to place near the machine that says the following:

Do

not attempt to laminate anything that is made of metal or contains

glitter. The glitter gets stuck in the rollers and can ruin the

machine. Do not attempt to laminate heavier

items such as wooden objects or coins. We know of one school who ruined

their laminator attempting to laminate 3D collages containing sticks.

We

hope that by following these rules and by keeping your rollers clean,

you can enjoy many years of use from your roll laminating machine.

You've been chained to your desk all morning and your back is really feeling it, so you decide to try to get some back relief on your lunch break...there you are, hanging upside down from your inversion table (with your dress down around your ears, ladies) and in walks one of your bosses - or even worse, one of your best clients!

Let's face it, not all of us can (or want to) use a full inversion table. Particularly for the office, they are impractical and inconvenient to say the least.
