Roller coaters are prominent coating equipment used on flat workpieces. With the help of a roller that has absorbed a coating material, the coating is rolled onto the workpiece surface in a uniform manner, resulting in less coating loss. Compared to a curtain coater, their coating effect is almost the same. Roll coaters feature a high degree of productivity, and can be paired with other equipment, including a coating feeder, coating dryer and many other auxiliary equipment pieces in order to create a coating line with a high degree of automation.
Roller coaters require coatings with an excellent levelling property, specific moisture and adhesion properties, and preferably a certain degree of flexibility and wear resistance. Solvent coatings and plastic sol coatings are the most common coating materials, including NC or UV paint.
In addition, roller coaters are also suitable for PU and PE paints. However, these two materials have higher requirements for the rubber roller and are more difficult to clean, making them less convenient for operation.
During the operation process, a coating rubber covered roller and a steel applicator roll are tightly connected in a parallel manner, and simultaneously rotate in a reverse manner at a constant speed/ The two of them form a V shaped space, which is where the paint stays evenly into. The workpiece that needs to be coated is moved forward at a constant speed, using a conveyor, and passes through the paint covered rubber roll, ensuring a flat, smooth coating effect.
The operator can control the thickness and the uniformity of the paint on the coating rubber covered roller, by simply adjusting the tightness between the coating rubber covered roll and the steel applicator roll.
