ZFP L320 PB Double-Sided Sheet-Fed Laminator
DOUBLE-SIDED B1 LAMINATION IN A SINGLE PASS
The ZFP L320 PB is the double-sided B1 machine in the ZFP line, integrating two independent laminating units into one fully automatic production line. Both faces of the sheet are finished against a chrome-plated cylinder in a single pass, at up to 131 feet per minute on sheets up to 29.9" x 41.3", with a pallet feeder and floor-level drop table as standard. ZFP has more than two decades of industrial lamination experience, and every machine is designed, machined, and assembled in-house at its factory in Poland.
The L320 PB laminates offset and digital print with gloss, matte, and soft-touch OPP thermal films on stocks from 115 to 600 gsm, with a 90 gsm option for light stock, and runs single-sided jobs on the same line between double-sided work. The open-sided frame keeps the feeder settings and pressure roller within reach, an optional independently controlled automatic stacker completes pallet-to-pallet operation, and an optional foiling rewinder adds digital foiling on the same machine.
The L320 PB is sold and supported in the United States and Canada by Supply55, Inc. Machines, wear parts, installation, operator training, and service are all handled by Supply55.
HOW THE L320 PB RUNS
Load the pallet and set the film; the machine feeds, laminates both faces, separates, and stacks.
Two Laminating Units, One Pass
The L320 PB runs the sheet through two independent laminating units in one continuous line, finishing the top and bottom faces in a single pass. Double-sided jobs run once, with no second run and no flipping stacks between them.
- Each face is laminated against a chrome-plated cylinder, so both sides carry the same surface, which is what photo book pages and premium covers are specified on.
- The same line runs single-sided jobs between double-sided work.
Lamination and Burst Separation in One Process
Sheets overlap through the laminating units and come off as a continuous laminated stream, and the bursting separator returns the stream to single sheets at full production speed. At up to 131 feet per minute, laminated B1 work stacks at the exit ready for cutting, folding, or packing.
- Sheets feed with accuracy within ±0.08", and an adjustable decurl bar flattens them after lamination.
- A touchscreen control panel sets and holds the process parameters for the run.
Open-Sided Frame, Electric Heat Under Precise Control
The frame is open on its sides, so the feeder control settings and the pressure roller sit within reach instead of behind panels, and setup and film changes happen at the machine rather than through access covers. That matters more here than on a single-sided machine, since the L320 PB threads film top and bottom. Lamination runs on chrome-plated steel cylinders heated by electric band heaters under precise control across a 158 to 284 F operating range, with roller pressure adjusted pneumatically.
- The bottom film roll carries its own side knife for film trimming.
- An optional film roll lifting device brings rolls into loading position.
Pallet Feeding Standard, Pallet to Pallet as an Option
The pallet feeder and floor-level drop table come standard, so B1 stock loads at floor level without raising lifts overhead, and the feed head lifts sheets with four suction points. The optional independently controlled automatic stacker at the machine exit runs on its own control panel with accessories for moving palletized material, completing the pallet-to-pallet configuration for long runs.
Digital Foiling
With the optional foiling rewinder, the L320 PB applies digital foil over toner in the same pass architecture it uses for lamination. Print the areas to be foiled, then run the sheet with foil in place of laminating film.
Standalone Operation
Touchscreen control and fully standalone operation: no network integration or external data exchange is required to run the machine. Industry 4.0 connectivity with operator touch displays is available as an option for shops that want it.

OPTIONS FOR THE L320 PB
Independently controlled automatic stacker - Stacks finished B1 sheets at the machine exit on its own control panel, with accessories for moving palletized material.
B1 jogger / sheet shaker - Squares the stack as sheets come off the machine exit.
Side knife - Trims film at the sheet edge in line. The bottom film roll carries its own side knife as built.
Foiling rewinder - Adds digital foiling, so the machine applies metallic foil over toner as well as laminating film.
Film roll lifting device - Lifts film rolls into position for loading.
Deionising bar and nozzle - Controls static on digital stock before it reaches the nip.
90 gsm light-stock option - Extends the substrate range below the standard 115 gsm minimum.
Industry 4.0 connectivity - Optional network integration with operator touch displays; as standard the machine runs fully standalone with no network or external data exchange required.
