If you have a site related condition and you do not correct the problem first you can expect continued delamination. As far as repairing, you do not say if this is a floating floor or attached with fasteners. Keep in mind that you do not want to repair a floating floor by using fasteners or your floor may become locked in. Before you correct you need to determined why the planks are delaminating.

Clean the caster thoroughly and remove stuck on dirt/debris. I found turning the caster against a blade cleaned it. Paint silicone sealant thinly with a small paint brush on rolling face of caster and allow to dry. This will give it a 'rubberized' type coating and stop the caster skidding and scraping or scratching the laminate floor, it will allow it to rotate freely and gives the caster a slight grip on the laminate surface.
