The Industrial Laminating Machine

The leader in Industrial Laminating Machine equipment and technology, Black Bros. is the go to name for companies that need cutting edge laminating machines capable of handling any size and type of project.

We’ve built the laminating industry for over 100 years, and we have a huge assortment of innovative solutions that work powerfully with the application you’re using. We even have a test laboratory for you to assess your process.

Try Our Cold Press for Speed and Batch Laminating

If you’re adhering veneer, decorative plastics, papers and foils to a surface, we invite you to explore our adhesive spreader selection, including our flagship model 775 glue spreader.

You can apply batch treatment to substrates such as particleboard and plywood. Add to your process our full line of laminating machinery – the Indexing Station, and the Air Pod Press or Power Pod Presses, which apply pressure to your stacked product until dry. We have solutions to fit every situation.

Nothing is faster than a cold laminating machine for adhering wood paneling. And now – getting that technology into your workshop or factory is easy with Black Bros., because our machines can be simply arranged according to your needs.

At a minimum, use our one of your glue spreaders and a press. At a maximum, one operator can laminate up to three panels per minute once the materials are staged.

Use Our Platen Press for Industrial Laminating

The Air Pod and Power Pod presses can laminate insulated building panels, particleboard, countertop MDF and surfaces designed for working, computer furnishings, doors and steel skin paneling.

The Hot Industrial Laminating Machine

Talk to us about purchasing your own Joos hydraulic press, which is perfect for veneer laminating, small batch architectural panels and materials made from composites.

For Hot Melt Adhesives, we offer the Hot Melt Adhesive Spreader, which includes shielding, exhaust hoods and aligns its drive systems at the opposing ends of the apparatus to ensure the precise and uniform application of glue. Once the glue is spread, the rotary laminator will smooth the adhesive to keep the surface level and stop air bubbles from forming.
