Continuous coating pilot plant

Description

Ichemco Pilot Coating Machine is a small modular machine, which allows to use different coating systems (Meyer-bar, knife over roll, air knife, hot-melt slot die applicator) and consequently to reproduce many production technologies according to different substrates to use, products to apply and final items to make.

It includes:

  1. Single unwinding unit, with mechanical brakes and manual alignment set-up, by means of a pneumatic expansion shaft.
  2. Meyer-bar, with coat width control edges and possibility to vary the feeding roll contact angle by changing film feeding roll position.
  3. Alternatively you can install a knife-over-roll coating module, for substrates requiring high viscosities. This unit has a precise micrometric control of thickness and two side nylon edges to control the coating width.
    Alternatively we can supply an air-knife coating unit, suitable for high speed coating.
  4. 2 meter long drying oven, electrically heated, with two independent heat regulations; materials lay on free turning steel rolls.
  5. Driving and laminating unit, including a calender with driving chrome treated cylinder and a free silicone rubber coated cylinder.
  6. Additional unwinding unit, similar to 1) for liners or second substrate feeding.
  7. Blade slitting unit, suitable for cutting 250 mm rolls down to lower widths.
  8. A two frictioned driving shafts rewinder, allowing the rewinding tension adjustment of coated materials and their collection on both shafts, with two special rolls eliminating surface irregularities.
  9. We can supply also a hot-melt coating device, based on a slot die applicator, for the application of hot melt adhesives, eventually combined with the application of water/solvent release agents.
    We can supply also a flexo-printing unit for multi colors printing.

We can easily make custom modifications to the standard model.
