Potdevin 42-88W Rotary Press - 42" Mounting Laminator - 1994 - Portable Stand

Potdevin 42" Rotary Applicator | Model 42-88W | 1/2 HP | 1994

The Potdevin 42-88W is the industry standard for high-pressure bonding and laminating in the packaging, POS display, and custom framing sectors. Specifically engineered to eliminate bubbles, wrinkles, and "curling" in glued materials, this 42-inch rotary press ensures a professional, flat bond for substrates up to 1/2" thick.

This 1994 unit (S/N 2-104) features Potdevin’s legendary "W-Series" build—combining a high-torque 1/2 HP motor with precision rubber rollers. Mounted on a portable floor stand with heavy-duty casters, it is designed for rapid integration into any production environment. Whether you are bonding litho-labels to corrugated board or creating large-format mounted displays, the 42-88W provides the consistent "wringing" pressure necessary for a high-quality finished product.
