Adhesive and Roll Coating Applicator

Optimex Engineering's roll coating machinery applies an adhesive or other liquid media to a web or pieces of material running through the applicator. These units are built for heavy duty operation and can be customized to your specifications.

Machine Operation

The substrate is carried through the machine on a belt conveyor. A pool of coating liquid is contained between the coating roll, doctor roll and end sealing plates. The coating roll, the doctor roll and the conveyor are individually driven at variable speed, adjustable for best performance of the machine. The adjustment for substrate thickness is easily done by motorized screw lifting of roll assembly. The coating liquid level between the coating and doctor roll is adjustable and automatically controlled by ultrasonic sensor. The thickness of coating is accurately controlled, providing a uniform coverage on the product.

Features

• Both doctor and coating roll are hard chromed for long lasting operation and accuracy of coating layer thickness
• End sealing plates, made of teflon, are spring loaded against chromed face of rolls, providing good sealing with low friction and slow wear.
