Dimuken Polycarbonate Line (PC Line)

The Dimuken PC Line has been developed for the application of Kinegrams (and Holograms) onto materials such as Polycarbonate and PVC. KINEGRAM Technology offers the ultimate in foil based security features. Thanks to Dimuken's highly innovative application equipment, KINEGRAM images can be applied in register onto government documents significantly increasing their anti-counterfeiting security.

Operation Mode

The PC Line comprises a DC 8406/SPU model combining our conventional unwind with a sprocket punch station to take rolls of polycarbonate, unwind, sprocket punch and feed over a photocell control unit to the first DC 8614 H4 model.
The H4 is equipped with 4 foiling heads, each with its own foil unwind and rewind stations, registration system and temperature controls to accurately register the Kinegram to the stamping dies.
The operator programmes the computer with the required stepping programme to feed the polycarbonate to each foiling position. The machines pin feeds drive the sprocketed web from foiling position to foiling position with great accuracy. The web is then fed over a photocell control to the DC 8922 Heavy Duty Sheeter where the sprocket margins are trimmed with rotary slit blades and the web is cross cut to the required length for the customer s lamination machinery. The out feed of the Sheeter is equipped with an anti static bar and air blow system to allow the cut sheet to drive out cleanly onto a simple inclined delivery table.
The standard line compromises of one DC8614-H4 that will allow for 4 holograms across the sheet, this is ideal for jobs such as passports etc . An additional DC8614-H4 can be inserted into the line to allow for foiling in 8 positions across the sheet, this allows for much greater foiling capacity for ID Cards, Driving Licences etc.
