+ Screen Gravure and Emboss Combination Lines
Coating, Printing and embossing processes can be separate production lines or combined to give one production process.
The exact machine configuration is tailored to suit your needs. Coating is typically done by rotary screen with a extra tall hot air dryer so that coating does not become the bottleneck. Alternatively Reverse roll or Knife over roll coaters may be used with the hot air dryers or with the high performance gelling drums.
The individual print stations can be configured with screen, gravure or flexo print heads and as many stations as you require to give you the machine profile that exactly matches your production requirements.
A high performance drying oven gives the required even energy transfer to expand or cure the pvc and enable quality embossing.
There are also several options for the embosser with variable width and wrap, turretting or standard all being possible.
So by selecting from the options above and by adding other features such as Washcoating, not contact thickness monitoring, or granulate dispensing you can select a machine configuration that is unique to you.
+ Custom development for single and multi-station emboss combination lines & print combination lines
Whatever the needs of your market place the E+R technical team has expertise in dealing with combination Coating lines, Printing and embossing processes into one streamlined production process or create high efficiency stand alone systems each configured to suit your needs.
Stations can include gravure, screen or flexo printing modules and be combined with vertical dryers of 4, 7 or 10 meter internal web drying lengths. Any printing station format is available to make your machine truly unique.
Our objective is to provide you with the ultimate solution that completely matches your needs, so our engineers will work with you from the concept stage to ensure you have the best possible design.
