SELF CLEANING ROLLER COATER
for Gasket Adhesive Application
A stainless steel through conveyor belt with an integrated scrubbing
brush roller and squeegee is the key to keeping things clean as the
central roll coater mechanism applies a thin film of adhesive coating
to the top surface of the gasket substrate material.
SYNONYMS
Adhesive roller coater, gasket roll coater, self-cleaning adhesive
coater, gasket coater, adhesive applicator, and self-cleaning gasket
adhesive film spreader.
ROLL CONFIGURATION
In the Model C Single Top Coater Roll Configuration, the liquid coating for the top surface is held in the trough between the top coating roller and its companion doctor roll; the bottom roller simply assists in feeding the substrate through the machine.
OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
This special Series #5, Model C, 26" Roller Coater was designed for
the application of adhesive to thin gasket stock.
The special feature of this machine is the 24"-wide stainless steel
through conveyor belt with an automatic belt cleaning system. As the
conveyor belt becomes contaminated with the coating material, a brush
revolving in the reverse direction picks up cleaning solvent from a
pan and scrubs the belt. A rubber squeegee, under spring tension, then
removes the wet solvent film, leaving the conveyor clean and ready to
accept additional substrates for coating.
This machine is also equipped with explosion-proof electricals, an
explosion-proof safety control and an explosion-proof recirculating
system to supply the coating material to the coating area. Additional
features, such as the single handwheel control to regulate the upper
coating assembly in relation to the conveyor belt, and a unifeed adjustment
to control the material thickness being applied to the substrate, have
also been installed.
As with all of the Union roller coaters, safety features such as a
fused disconnect, magnetic line starters, 110 pushbutton control and
the guarding of all pinch points has been incorporated.
Once again the Union Tool Corporation has provided modern industry
with an efficient roller coater in response to its production demands.
