Since its launch at DRUPA 2004, Ecosystem has sold more than 60 Aqua laminators in Europe, Japan and the USA making it one the most successful water based laminator in today’s market. Originally designed for the Luxury Packaging market the AQUA has also enjoyed a tremendous success with Print Finishers worldwide due to its extreme productivity, its high flexibility, its uncompromised reliability, its energy efficiency and its ease of use.

Extreme productivity

The separate laminating and drying rollers concept launched by Ecosystem at DRUPA 2004 makes it possible to reach speeds ranging from 90m to 110m/min with water based adhesives or thermal films. It also makes the lamination of thin stocks or heat sensitive films easier.

The productivity is further enhanced by the availability of a Non Stop feeder and a Non Stop stacker as well as the use of higher pallets (up to 1600 mm high). The large diameter film rolls, the automatisms (such as repeat job parameter storage and recall) allow users to reduce make readies to a minimum.

High flexibility

The Aqua laminators can process all types of films such as OPP, PET, Nylon, thermal, acetate, PE, PLA, ... with a wide range of thicknesses. Aqua laminators are equally at ease with gloss, matt, colored, metalized or holographic films. All Aqua laminators can be fitted with a very productive, Laser guided Hot Knife for separation of metalized or structured films.

Uncompromised reliability

After almost 25 000 hours of work working in 3 shifts, the first Aqua delivered in 2004 to the world’s biggest Luxury Packaging group has been transferred after a quick overhaul to another production site to begin a new career !

The robust structure of the AQUA, built in Europe with European standards, the Ethernet remote maintenance and diagnostic system and the constant availability of spare parts and experienced technicians mean that your Aqua will be up and running for years to come.

Energy efficiency

The efficient insulation of our drying unit will help you save costs. With Ecosystem you also have the choice between electric or gas boilers to further reduce energy costs.

Incredible ease of use

Designed by experienced operators who worked in team with our mechanical, electronics and software engineers the Aqua machines enjoy an extreme ease of use. Our high speed graphical Touch screen as well as convenient commands will help you reach your full potential.

AQUA – The reference

Even though you know that AQUA is today the reference in the market we think that you deserve to experience by yourself its extreme productivity.

If you think that visiting a peer print finishing company using our machines is the best then we’ll make sure you can visit one or more of our customers in the country of your choice, test your own jobs at his factory and have a professional exchange with the people of the company.

Unlike some of our competitors we never organize big Open Houses with dozens of customers, perfect paper and working conditions since we know that you know better...   Instead we invite you to come to our factory to test our machines with the jobs of your customers. Since all our machines are thoroughly tested for days before shipment to ensure a successful and perfect installation, feel free to send us your pallets for a real test in order to check the limits of our equipments.

AQUA – See for yourself

Of course this video is only an insight. If you want to see more, feel free to contact us and we’ll send you some more examples of our machines in operation. We’ll also be glad to invite you to visit a fellow print finisher or to test our machines in our factory.
