2-SIDED ADHESIVE roll COATER
An adhesive roll coater designed for applying a precise coating of
water-based, solvent-based or phenolic resin adhesive to either side
or both sides of the substrate in one operation. The unit shown was
specifically designed for coating clutch and brake facing plates, but
the machine's concept is readily adapted for many other applications.
SYNONYMS
Depending on your industry, you may call this a roller coater, a roll
coater, an adhesive spreader, an adhesive roll coater, a glue coater,
a glue spreader, a two-sided adhesive coater, a two-sided roll coater,
or a double-sided roller coater.
ROLL CONFIGURATION
In the Model A Double Coater Roll Configuration, the liquid coating is held in the troughs between the coating rolls and their companion doctor rolls, top and bottom.
OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Union Adhesive roll Coater was designed to apply water-based,
solvent-based or phenolic resin adhesive to the top and/or bottom surface
of clutch and brake facing plates in a single pass. This coater applies
a smooth, even, controlled amount of adhesive with a direct action roll
coater. The facing plates may range in size from 3" to 22" in diameter
and in thickness from 0.030" to 4.000".
The Union Tool Corporation has been manufacturing roll coaters for
many years. We have combined our years of experience with today's materials
and technology in order to offer a roll coater which we feel is superior
to any other on the market. Union roll coaters are available in sizes
ranging from 6" to 110".
