Built for larger presentation and mounting jobs
The Mounting Combo 1700 is made for shops that handle poster mounting, display board work, exhibition graphics and printed presentation pieces day in and day out. It gives you a wider working area than smaller tabletop units, so you can laminate and mount longer runs without cutting jobs down to size first.
For print shops in Johannesburg, Randburg, Sandton and Midrand, that extra width saves time on school projects, property boards, retail displays and short-run sign work. It also helps when you are finishing artwork that must stay flat and clean, with fewer bubbles and less handling.
- Suitable for cold and hot roll work, depending on the film and board being used
- Useful for printed paper, photo output, posters and light display board applications
- Designed for repeat use in busy production spaces
Where the 1700 size fits in daily production
The 1700mm working width makes this model a practical option for businesses that have outgrown narrow machines but do not need a very large industrial line. It is a good fit for sign makers, designers, photo labs, copy shops and artists working on mounted prints for exhibitions or sales presentations.
In Gauteng, where jobs often need fast turnaround and neat finishing before collection the same day, the larger bed helps you move efficiently from print to mounted output. It also suits branches and production rooms where one operator may need to handle several different job types in a shift.
- Display board mounting for sales centres and estate agents
- Presentation graphics for training rooms, boardrooms and reception areas
- Photo and fine art finishing for artists and small galleries
Sizes, options and working setup
The Mounting Combo 1700 is supplied as a wide-format unit with a 1700mm class working width, making it suitable for common poster and board sizes up to near full sheet format. The exact setup can vary depending on the film type, roller configuration and application method you choose.
Options typically depend on the job mix. Some customers want a basic setup for mounting and film application, while others need a more controlled finish for repeated production on heavier media. We help match the unit to the work you do most, not just the biggest job once a month.
- Working width: 1700mm class
- Roll support for wide-format feed through
- Adjustable pressure and temperature control for different media
- Suitable for mounting boards and laminate films in commonly used widths
When checking the order, it helps to confirm your usual sheet sizes, board thickness and whether you need a left to right or right to left feed arrangement for your space.
Power, placement and installation needs
This unit needs a stable installation area with enough room for loading, alignment and finished sheet clearance. A level floor matters, especially when handling heavier boards or longer panels. In workshops with limited space, allow room at both ends so operators are not fighting against walls, benches or stacked stock.
Power requirements depend on the final configuration, but as a rule you should plan for a proper mains supply with safe electrical protection and clean earthing. For sites in areas such as Pretoria, East Rand and Kya Sand where load-shedding interruptions are common, it is worth discussing your back-up supply and restart routine before installation. A steady power source protects heaters, drive components and control parts from unnecessary wear.
- Level floor space with clear infeed and outfeed access
- Dedicated electrical point with correct protection
- Room for operator movement and material staging
- Dry storage area for films, boards and adhesive media
We install nationwide, and on-site commissioning can be arranged so the machine is set up correctly from the start.
Care, servicing and day-to-day checks
Wide-format mounting units need regular care if you want clean results and fewer stoppages. Roller surfaces should be kept clean, pressure settings checked and heat levels monitored for the media being run. Dust and adhesive build-up can affect finish quality quickly, especially in busy shops that work with foam board, printed vinyl and coated paper.
Our servicing support includes routine servicing, roller cleaning, pressure calibration, heat system checks, drive system repairs, electrical fault finding, on-site breakdowns, spare parts support, operator refresher training and pre-purchase inspections. For coastal customers, humidity can affect stored media and finished boards, so dry storage and proper wrapping matter more than many people expect.
- Clean rollers before adhesive marks build up
- Check pressure settings when changing board thickness
- Inspect heaters and drive components on a regular schedule
- Train operators on film alignment and start-up routines
A short service visit now and then usually costs less than losing a day to a jammed feed or uneven finish.
What to confirm before you order
Before placing an order, it helps to be clear on your everyday work rather than only the biggest or smallest job you receive. Tell us what you mount, how often you use the machine and what finish quality your customers expect. That makes it easier to advise on setup and accessories.
If you are upgrading from a smaller laminator, measure your production area and check how finished pieces will move through the room. A 1700 unit needs proper handling space and a plan for loading boards without bending them. If you are in Sandton or Pretoria and often work on presentation material for corporate clients, it is also worth checking how many operators will use the machine and whether training is needed.
- Usual sheet and board sizes
- Typical daily volume
- Material types and thicknesses
- Power supply available on site
- Need for installation, training and after-sales support
With those details, the right setup becomes much easier to confirm and you avoid buying a machine that is either too small or more complicated than your workflow needs.
