The heater can raise the main roller temperature
well of over 200°F ( 100°C ). At these temperatures,
you can become severely burned.
The pneumatic system used to provide upward
pressure on the pressure roller and the snap roller is
capable of producing great amount of forces. This
force is applied to any object presented in the open-
ing (called the nip) between the two rollers.
WARNING: Do not make contact with the
main roller when heat is applied. You may
become severely burned if not avoided.
WARNING: After heat is removed from the
main roller, avoid contact with the roller for at
least two hours. Heat is still present.

Voyager 3
Operations Manual: Installation
4.0 Installation
4.1 Pre-installation
CAUTION: The GBC Voyager 3 can only be
installed by
Representative.
a
trained GBC Service
Are the doorways and hallways wide enough
for the laminator to be moved to the installa-
tion site?
Before a Voayger 3 Laminator can be installed, there
are a few requirements that must be met. Make cer-
tain that each of the requirements listed in the fol-
lowing pre-installation checklist are met prior to
installation.
Is there ample room for the laminator? The
laminator occupies 16 ft. by 6 ft. of floor space
(488 cm x 183 cm).
A safe work area constitutes enough room to
work with the materials at hand while being
free to move around the laminator without
interference from the laminator. You must
allow a minimum of 5 ft. (152 cm) in front of
the feeder and on the operator side, and a
minimum of 2 ft. (61 cm) behind the stacker
and drive side of the laminator. Refer to Figure
4.1.1 Floor layout.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the pre-installa-
tion check list can result in damage to the
laminator.
As a customer, you are responsible for ensuring the
crates are uncrated and the components are set in
proper position as illustrated in Figure 4.1.1
Suggested Floor Layout. The installation time is out-
lined to allow for maximum hands on training with
the operators.
Is the environment appropriate for the
laminator? A controlled environment is recom-
mended.
CAUTION: The operating environment must
be free of dust, flammable liquids and
vapors.
The laminator requires a clean, dust and
vapor free environment to operate properly.

Voyager 3
Operations Manual: Installation
CAUTION: Do not locate the laminator where
air can blow directly on the machine. The air
flow can cool the rollers unevenly and result
in poor quality output.
Have you contacted a certified electrician to
install a receptacle for the laminator ensuring
that adequate power and correct circuit
breaker is being supplied?
The laminator and heater requires 380 Volt
AC, 50/ 60 Hz, 50 amps, Delta three phase
(four wire) power. For US, a transformer is
required to step up power from 230 Volt
3 Phase to 380 Volt 3 Phase AC. Refer to
Figure 4.1.2 connections.
For heater requirements, consult the heater
manual for your unit.
INFORMATION: The vacuum/ pump, feeder
and heater units will draw it’s electrical power
from the laminator.
Is tap and drain water available?
Water supply should be hard plumbed with a
3/4 in. (1.9 cm) NPT supply and drain. Refer
to Figure 4.1.2 connections.
Is proper air pressure available?
Air pressure required is 80-90 psi min.
(0.56-0.63 Mpa) with an air flow of 10-13 cfm
(280-360 liters/ min.). Refer to Figure 4.1.2
connections.
CAUTION: Tripping Hazard. If connections
are not dropped from the ceiling, all lines and
hoses must be covered to prevent trip hazard.

4.3 Uncrating
The GBC Voyager 3 is shipped in two crates. Both
crates should arrive at the same time on your
docks.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the
sides of the crate by yourself. You can be
seriously injured and/ or cause damage to
the laminator components.
INFORMATION: ALL SHIPMENTS ARE EX-
WORKS. At our dock, title passes to the
buyer. Please review your insurance cover-
age prior to shipment, as you are responsible
for all subsequent freight charges and risks.
Below is an example of a typical crated unit. Your
crate may have some minor differences but should
uncrate in the same manner.
INFORMATION: Before signing the BILL OF
LADING, you should be sure to inspect the
crates and/ or pallets for signs of damage or
missing items; if applicable, make note of
this on the BILL OF LADING.
WARNING: The GBC Voyager 3 Laminator
is a large and heavy piece of equipment. It is
necessary to employ LICENSED RIGGERS
ONLY to move the laminator components.
CAUTION: The GBC Voyager 3 Laminator is
not designed to be tipped up side down or
sideways in any way. Such action disturbs
the exact alignment of the rolling parts of the
machine and may require costly and exten-
sive realignment.
CAUTION: Do not use a knife or other sharp
objects to remove shrink wrap or pre mask-
ing from around the laminator. You can
cause irreparable damage to the rollers.

4.4 Positioning the components
Laminator
Once the laminator has been safely removed from
the crate, you can move the laminator into position
by using a pallet jack or forklift.
All components are positioned by the center line of
the laminator. The components should be posi-
tioned in the following order; Laminator, stacker
table, feeder, conveyor, vacuum/ pump and then the
water heater. Refer to Figure 4.4.1 Component
Placement.
To move the laminator, approach the laminator from
the front and guide the forks under the laminator
where indicated on the laminator.
