Problem Statement:

Lamination By Solar radiation

---

Detail:

There are not many who have ever used solar energy for lamination. The device consists of a wooden box, four rollers, a mirror, a mirror stand, a handle, glass and a couple of two mm thick iron sheets. The mirror has been fitted on the wooden box, so that it focuses solar radiation on metallic plates. The paper to be laminated is placed between two lamination sheets, slipped in with the help of a roller, and passed through the heated metallic plates. The laminated item comes out smoothly without any wrinkles. The machine laminates both sides of the sheet in one pass. The machine can also be used as a conventional electrical lamination machine in absence of solar energy by switching on the bulbs fitted inside. On a sunny day, it can laminate the document of A4 size in 15 minutes.Most hard paper documents get damaged over time with the effect of sunlight, moisture and elements present in the environment. Lamination helps in preservation of important hard documents such as property deeds, educational certificates, birth and dead certificates, ration, voters ID and PAN cards, etc., to keep them intact for a long time. This is a good product for areas where electricity supply is erratic or not present at all. This solar laminator might facilitate the process of preserving documents in rural India where lack of properly preserved documents often creates confusion and conflicts. Amandeep has been provided financial support for developing and improving his laminator from NIF?s Value Addition and Research and Development (VARD) fund through GIAN North, Jaipur.
