Production Coating Lab
In our Production Coating Lab you'll find our new quick change Series 4000 Cartridge Coater with easy-to-remove cartridges, an advanced design using the latest technology available in the industry. Best of all, our lab not only gives you the ability to test your process to see if it delivers the results you're looking for, it also lets you experiment with your coating properties. Our Production Coating Lab is capable of widths up to 36 inches (914mm).
Pilot Coating Lab
Our Pilot Coating Lab is the perfect place to test your formulations, determine methodologies, perfect techniques, develop new products, evaluate equipment and take your new products to the next level.
The pilot line handles webs from thin-gauge films to paper and heavier paperboard and nonwovens. The compact design also helps minimize material waste. It's capable of over 30 different coating methods. An in-line Corona Discharge Treater favorably modifies web surface tension, providing better wetness and adhesion of aqueous coatings to various films and polycoated webs. And our 5-roll coater gives you even more flexibility.
Drying/curing is accomplished by a three-zone air flotation gas-heated dryer. Additionally, the line can share the multi-zoned 60-foot dryer section of the Production Coating line to provide more drying capacity for heavy coatweights, high speeds, or when extra curing time is required. For those coatings that require photocure, there is an in-line Ultra-Violet curing station just ahead of the flotation dryers. Our Pilot Coating Lab is capable of widths up to 18 inches (457mm).
Tandem Coating Lab
We have the capability to run the Production Coater and the Pilot Coater together to offer you access to the only OEM Tandem
facility in North America. That means you can apply two coatings on one pass - so you don't have to handle the product twice, saving you both
time and money. You can run tandem in widths up to 18 inches (457mm).
The Liquid Coating Production Lab is the perfect place to test formulations, determine methodologies, perfect techniques, develop new products and take your process to the next level.
