The membraneless laminator allows processing of up to eight solar modules with 60 cells (156 x 156 mm) per processing step and is suitable for a variety of module sizes. The groundbreaking new lamination process was developed by Schmid and Lauffer in joint cooperation and optimally combines the know-how of the two technology leaders. The innovative concept is based on the membraneless technology patented several times over by Schmid and on Lauffer's longstanding experience in press and lamination technology. The custom-designed laminator systems will also be delivered by Lauffer as the exclusive provider.
The new lamination process opens up further potential for the significant reduction of process times using suitable, innovative foil types.

Inline system for solar module lamination

• Membraneless technology reduces operating and maintenance costs and significantly increases the uptime of the system
• High temperature homogeneity of +/- 1°C
• The multi-level design allows warmth to be introduced simultaneously to both sides of glass-glass and glass-foil solar modules
• Significantly reduced process times in comparison to customary membrane laminators of less than seven minutes for glass-foil modules
• Extendable on the same footprint
• Suitable for modules with 60 and 72 cells
• Levels: 1-level / 2-levels / 3-levels / 4-levels
