Tough on the Outside
Unique features are said to include: an air knife to eliminate roller wraps; large diameter coating rollers to avoid roll deflection; adjustable coat weight between seven and 20µm; and a manually adjustable nip with calibrated display for repeatable accuracy.
Atech has added AquaSEAL 60 and 80UV Pro sheet and roll coaters to its product line-up. The machines are designed for high volume sign and display production using inkjet and UV flatbed printers. These heavy-duty UV coaters provided automated protective lamination on sheet, board or roll-fed substrates up to 76.2mm thick and 1,524 and 2,032mm wide respectively.
Both systems operate at variable speeds of up to 32m/min and the liquid laminate is instantly cured when passing under the inbuilt UV dryer. UV curing also means there is no need to clean down three switchable 19lit lacquer reservoirs on a daily basis.
The curable liquid offers instant protection for materials and substrates including inkjet, photographic, dye-sub and vehicle graphics. The liquid is formulated to meet extreme demands in outdoor and vehicles graphics markets and resists UV-exposure, moisture, gasoline, detergent, alcohol, salt-spray, grease, scrubbing and abrasions.
