One new 5kc knife over modified gap table and knife over roll coater for non-volatile chemical processes
Construction
Constructed from thick aluminum material ranging from 1 ½” thick to ¾” thick for machine integrity
Aluminum is key in overall performance of the coating and in cleaning of the machine
All coating surfaces (blade, rolls, tables) or anything the cloth makes contact with are stainless steel or chrome plated
All direct coated surfaces are precision ground to a high tolerance for absolute repeatability
Coating Head
4” blade raise for cleaning: the main coating head raises 4” above the table and roll coating surface for ample cleaning access
Blade raise is done by a 4” cylinder through an indirect link to the head
Indirect link is a safety measure in the event anything is left under the coating head when brought down
1” vertical blade movement (0.500” up / 0.500” down) for a wider range of coating adjustment
Coating blade can be moved simultaneously or independently on the right or left side for loose selvage conditions
Full horizontal movement: three separate coating positions (knife over roll, knife over air, knife over gap table)
Head movement is done by pushbutton adjustment and set by a digital scale
Movement between the three positions takes approximately three minutes
Patented counter balance blade float: a system that automatically bypasses seams using a counter weighted air assist system
Seam physically moves the blade from its set position, allowing it to pass, and returns it to a preset condition
Roll Drive
Roll drive for main coating roll is a 3 hp ac drive that can run independently or synchronized
A 0-20 milliamp or 0-10 volt signal is required to synchronize the roll with the line speed
Chemical Containment and Dispersion
Guidable end dam for chemical containment: patented end dams that conform to the shape of the trough to retain chemical from flowing over the fabric edge
Dams are positioned by a fiber optic feeler system that mechanically detects the fabric edge and signals the dam to move to its desired position
Chemical oscillating system: a chemical dispersement system that traverses consistently between the end dams to maintain proper chemical height
A stirring paddle is provided
Controls
Series 4000 pushbutton control and digital readout system
All coater controls are on a single panel with pushbutton controls of all functions
Movements are done by stepper motors or low pressure hydraulics
Position indication is read by digital indication
Additional Equipment
Patented automatic trough system: an upgrade from the manual trough system that removes the handwheel system and replaces it with a cylinder/cable combination system
When properly wired to the tenter system, it receives a signal from the start/stop function and will automatically open the trough to preset condition during start up and automatically close it should the machine stop
Installation, start up and training: a technician will level the machine, ensure proper placement, and make sure all connections are made properly
During training all functions of the machine will be explained in depth; it is best to have fabric and chemical available for testing and setting
One additional set of end dams: trough conforming end dams made of a combination of aluminum, plastic, teflon and silicone seal
Constant day to day use will cause them to degrade; it is highly recommended to have a spare set on hand and send them in for rebuild from time to time
One additional coating blade of any profile: each coating blade is constructed from tool steel for the best wear characteristics
Over time the blade will wear and require regrinding; it is recommended to keep an additional blade on hand in the event of wear or damage
