            Hotmelt slot die
            coating station

            Ideal for full-width coating and striped coating, our Slot Die Coating Unit utilizes time-tested technology and is designed to dispense adhesive on any type of paper or film, including clear material for no label look applications.

            The unit offers exceptional consistency and operator-friendly features including the ability to easily control temperature, pressure and tension for more uniform coatings. It's offered in several variations designed to meet specific objectives like: high or low coat weight applications, high or low viscosities, UV curable hotmelt versus regular hotmelt, or clear-on-clear applications. 

            Designs offered include: 
            • Interchangeable lip slot die
              (from fixed lip to rotary)
            • Two coating head options
              (one with a single pump and another featuring a multi pump design)
