Roll Coating

Roll coating is a coating process in which an applicator roll is used to transfer and apply the coating to the substrate. Roll coaters are ideal for applying transparent base coat, colored base coat and top coat to flat substrates. For flat substrates with carved surface, it is only compatible with transparent base coat, slow cure coating or coating with specific drying method, such as UV adhesive and water-based coatings.

Roll coating method is appropriate for the coating of flat substrates like plastic and metal plates and flat decoration materials with curved surface such as wooden door, wardrobe, cupboard and any other panel furniture.

XMF can provide you with roll coating machines of different coating weight (5-50g/㎡), according to which you can choose your best fit roll coating machine. Furthermore, we are capable of offering you the customized roll coating solution according to the type, width and thickness of your substrate and other production requirements.

Features
  • 12mm-thick heavy duty welded steel frame reduces the vibration during operation, enhances the rolling machine stability and assures the uniform coating quality.
  • The applicator roller and steel roller respectively configure motor and speed control device to flexibly regulate their speed depending on the application and achieve a higher coating precision and a more uniform coating thickness.
  • Every roll coating system is equipped with a paint recycling system which can 100% recycle and reuse UV ink and water-based ink to highly save production cost.
  • Silicone applicator roller features excellent elasticity, suitable for various coatings and paints.
  • 4MM PVC anti-corrosion and antiskid conveyor belt provides longer service life.
  • The roll coating equipment features PLC touch screen control system with simple operations.
Working principles

The applicator roll is set closely to the steel roll in parallel. While they rotate inward at a constant speed, the substrate is transported forward by the conveyor. The coating fluid uniformly passes through the gap between the applicator roll and the steel roll and is transferred onto the surface of the substrate. The coating thickness and uniformity on the applicator roll can be adjusted by controlling the gap between the rolls.
