LAMINATION MACHINES & SYSTEMS

Lamination Machines & Processes for Your Toughest Jobs.

Whether you need a custom-built laminator, process development, or contract lamination services, we deliver precision solutions for solar, aerospace, and R&D applications.

Build Better Panels

Dial in the exact recipe needed to deliver consistent, production-ready results.

With 15+ years of hands-on lamination experience, we’ve supported everything from space-grade solar panels to high-volume LED modules.

Whether you're refining a prototype or ramping up production, we provide the expertise, machines, and manufacturing support to make it happen.

No Application Too Challenging

Lamination systems that deliver precision and consistency where it matters most.

World-renowned brands like Apple, StarLink, and Kuiper have relied on Bent River’s expertise in lamination to take new products to market—FAST.

  • Protecting and extending the life of solar cells through encapsulation.

  • Building multilayer structures and insulation for advanced electronics.

  • Improving optical clarity, efficiency, and product life.

  • Bonding and shaping lenses, filters, mirrors, and diffusers.

  • Creating impact-resistant and laminated safety glass.

  • Enhancing durability and chemical resistance with laminated layers.

  • Producing multilayer barrier films for packaging and industrial use.

  • Boosting screen brightness, contrast, and longevity.

  • Constructing layered, durable, responsive surfaces.

Panel Laminators

Engineered for precision and built for experimentation.

Designed for process flexibility and control, our laminators solve common challenges like air entrapment, wrinkling, and inconsistent results.

Each system offers programmable control of temperature, pressure, timing and vacuum—paired with an Agilent IDP-15 pump for fast cycling and our proprietary lift pin system for thermal accuracy.

Trusted for both R&D and low-volume production.

Key Features of Our Laminators:

Touch-Screen Control System

Precision control of temperature, pressing force, time, and vent

Unique lift pin system allows chamber to reach vacuum before applying heat

Switchable to production mode for repeated recipe execution

Customizable sizes and requirements

Three Standard Sizes:

Lamination Process Development

Decades of experience and a deep understanding of lamination go into every process we help build—so you can count on it to work, again and again.

We work alongside your team to develop a lamination “recipe” that fits your goals, materials, and performance requirements. Every variable is fine-tuned—from pressure and heat to cycle timing and venting—to create a repeatable, production-ready process.

The result? A process that’s tested, repeatable, and built to perform.

    1. Signing NDAs to protect intellectual property

    2. Understanding client deliverables and outcomes

    3. Reviewing material data sheets

    4. Experimenting with various heat, pressure, and time variables

    5. Refining the process for efficiency and repeatability

    6. Delivering the final product and process guide

Have a product in development? Let’s talk.

Whether you’re troubleshooting or building from scratch, we’re here to help.

Contract Lamination Services

Need to test or validate your product design before scaling up?

Our in-house lamination services offer a fast, flexible solution when you need to validate a product, test materials, or run a limited batch—without committing to full-scale equipment. Whether you’re starting with a proven recipe or need help developing one, we’ll deliver precise, reliable results.

Perfect for:

  • Early-stage R&D

  • Material or process testing

  • Pilot production

  • Limited-run fulfillment

  • Teams not ready to purchase a laminator (yet)

We support projects involving:

  • Low to moderate quantities

  • Multi-layer or complex assemblies

  • Diverse or hard-to-bond materials

  • Experimental parameters and process development


Get expert results—without committing to full-scale equipment.
