WRJ Fi9 Solventless Laminating Machine
Save 60,000 kWh of electricity.
The WRJ Fi9 Solventless Laminating Machine is suitable for laminating various types of plastic films, metallized films, aluminum foil, and paper. It is one of the most popular multifunctional machine models on the market.
Introduction
The WRJ Fi9 is a high-performance solventless laminating machine specifically designed for high-quality flexible packaging applications. In terms of lamination width and operating speed, it aligns with internationally recognized medium-to-high-end solventless laminators. Equipped as standard with eco-friendly lamination technology and advanced automation systems, the WRJ Fi9 demonstrates strong competitiveness in both export markets and domestic high-end packaging applications.
Compared with traditional solvent-based and dry laminating machines, the WRJ Fi9 utilizes solventless lamination technology, offering distinct long-term advantages in production costs, operational efficiency, finished product quality, and operational safety. Its environmentally friendly process and stable performance make it particularly suitable for demanding packaging applications, such as those for food, pharmaceuticals, and high-end personal care products.
Main Advantages
1.Full PLC control system with touch screen HMI allows operators to precisely set lamination parameters and store multiple production recipes for quick job changeovers.
2.Eliminates the need for a drying system, removing the high-temperature drying process and significantly reducing energy consumption.
3.Zero solvent residue in the finished laminated film makes it ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and baby packaging applications with strict hygiene and safety requirements.
4.Five-roll coating system with high mechanical precision ensures consistent coating performance and a uniform adhesive layer across the entire web width.
5.Equipped with precise adhesive weight measurement and closed-loop tension control, providing stable lamination quality while minimizing material waste.
6.Supports wide webs and various material combinations, including BOPP, PET, PE, CPP, PA, aluminum foil, and other flexible packaging substrates.
Applications
1.Snack and Nut Packaging Bags
High-speed, wide-web lamination ensures solventless production, odor control, and strong interlayer adhesion, making it an ideal choice for continuous small-pouch manufacturing.
2.Frozen Food and Cold Chain Packaging Films
Ideal for low-temperature resistance, high barrier properties, and multi-layer structures, ensuring quality and safety during cold chain transportation.
3.Pharmaceutical Aluminum-Plastic Bags
Complies with hygiene standards, solvent-free, and suitable for the packaging of tablets, granules, or powders.
4.Baby Food and Milk Powder Packaging Bags
Ensures food-grade safety, seal integrity, and batch consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of maternal and infant products.
5.Cosmetic Tubes and Facial Mask Packaging Films
High-precision lamination ensures a smooth surface, aesthetic appearance, and stable adhesion.

Frequently asked questions
1. What is the difference between the Fi9, i9 and S1 Digital models?
Fi9 is the standard high-output solventless laminator, i9 is configured for two-layer lamination, and S1 Digital is the digital-control variant for shorter runs and tighter recipe management. The right model depends on your mix of structures and run lengths, not on the highest speed in the catalogue.
2. Why laminate without solvent instead of with solvent?
Three reasons: no drying tunnel, so no solvent evaporation energy and no effluent treatment; no solvent residue in the laminate; and a more compact line. The trade-off is a more disciplined process — mixing ratio, pot life and web tension are less forgiving than with solvent-based adhesive.
3. Which adhesive systems does the machine handle?
100 % solids two-component polyurethane systems, in the standard configurations. Adhesive chemistry must be matched to the film structure; the machine cannot compensate for an adhesive that is wrong for the application.
4. What coating weight range is achievable?
Coating weight is set by the application and the adhesive system, and is quoted together with the machine configuration. What matters commercially is grams per square metre of laminate, not the number on the datasheet — the comparison with solvent-based adhesive must be made on that basis.
5. Do I need a curing room?
Yes. Solventless adhesive cures in a controlled environment with defined temperature and time. Without a curing area, the process does not close — the laminate may look acceptable and fail in slitting or in the customer's packing line.
6. How is tension controlled?
Closed-loop tension control on unwind and rewind, with taper control and edge guiding. Tension and guiding are where most lamination quality is decided, particularly on thin films and aluminium foil.
7. What is the minimum run length that makes sense?
It depends on start-up scrap and setup time against the volume per recipe — not on the total plant volume. Short runs with frequent structure changes make the machine work harder for the same output.
8. Who manufactures the machine and who supports it?
The solventless laminators are manufactured by SINSTAR in Chongqing. XIAOPAI supplies them worldwide as authorised distributor and is responsible for specification, documentation, installation coordination, training and after-sales.
