he Spi-Laminator 2345 is a fully-automated
photovoltaic module laminator that bonds multiple

layers of materials together with thermoplastic or
thermosetting films such as ethylene vinyl
acetate (EVA) polymer. The processing
chamber of the laminator has temperature,
vacuum and atmospheric pressure capabilities
which are independently controlled to provide optimum
