AB Graphic International (ABG) launches ThermoLam, a thermal lamination system for flexible packaging, with no solvents or drying time, and which can be integrated into a production line. ThermoLam is designed for fast job changeovers, a key point in a context of multiplying part numbers and reduced print runs.
Based on a process with zero emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), to meet the regulatory constraints of food applications, ThermoLam combines several functions on a single platform: preheating, cooling, corona treatment and slitting. It reaches speeds of up to 120 meters per minute.
With its compact design and front access to the coils, this machine has been designed to simplify loading operations and limit the floor space required in workshops. The machine is driven by servomotors supplied by Beckhoff, with continuous parameter control during lamination. In-line cutting completes the package to limit intermediate handling.
ThermoLam is part of the manufacturer's FlexPack modular offering, which groups together several converting and finishing modules, including the Galaxy system for pouch production and the PouchJet system for digital finishing. ABG thus offers a continuous chain from lamination to final conversion.
The new equipment is on display at the Girona site in Spain, which has become a center dedicated to flexible packaging. Here, manufacturers can test their materials and observe how ThermoLam is integrated into a complete line.
ABG will also be on show at Interpack 2026, May 7-13 in Düsseldorf, Germany, alongside other FlexPack modules, in partnership with Galaxy Packtech.
