Modular Coating Systems

The Modular Coating System (MCS) rolls into place on nearly any commercial coating line, enabling operators of roll coating systems to switch readily between roll and slot die coating or use slot die coating on a trial basis. EDI custom-designs each MCS to meet user requirements and can supply the system with an Ultracoat® adjustable-lip or Liberty® fixed-lip die. The MCS typically includes a fluid-delivery system, an adjustable support for positioning the die lip with respect to the web, idler rolls, and a precision backing roll. These components are unitized within a steel frame whose crossbars maintain straightness during operation and adjustment. The coating station is mounted on casters.
