Driven by a vision to deliver more
With easy operation and fast changeovers, our 3-roll coating station, horizontal design is the epitome of productivity. The station is comprised of a plate cylinder, impression cylinder and anilox roll to transfer the silicone onto a substrate in the exact thickness you want. For extremely precise control, it is independently servo driven and variable speed. Cylinders are heated and temperature controlled for a smooth application. Finally, the ability to produce silicone coating in stripes makes it ideal for specific label applications like wraparound/sleeve food packaging labels.
Our 5-roll coating station utilizes metering and transfer cylinders to meticulously control the application of the silicone and the coat weight. Each variable speed roll is independently servo driven delivering incredible precision. Features include heated cylinders and temperature control. It also offers the ability to apply low silicone coat weights, making it a great unit to tap into the growing market for linerless direct thermal labels. For added flexibility, it can be converted into a 3-roll coater, and is perfect for coating in stripes if you’re producing wraparound/sleeve food packaging labels.
Our 3-roll coating station, triangle design operates like our 3-roll coater, horizontal design in that it uses anilox rolls to consistently supply a uniform and measurable volume of silicone coating. The unit is easy to operate and the only station that can apply silicone in a pattern. Although it has less features, it is more cost-effective, hard-working, and equipped to give you the competitive edge you need to conquer the package printing industry.
ETI has utilized 20 years of experience in nitrogen chambers to engineer a machine that pushes the process to a whole new level of productivity. Using advanced fluid mechanics software, our nitrogen chamber is designed and calibrated to optimize the nitrogen flow for better purity in the chamber. The reduction in oxygen improves the curing process which ultimately means a better, more stable silicone release coating. Last but not least, to mitigate long term maintenance issues all too common with comparable machines, ETI’s nitrogen chamber is on cassette for easier cleaning – a first in the industry.
