The Hot Melt Laboratory Coater / Laminator is a precision laboratory bench top hot melt coating and laminating system capable of producing coated and laminated samples of hot melt adhesives on foils, films, papers and other web based materials. Lab scale simulations of production processes can be easily set up and studied. The ability of setting a specific gap and then being able to change the pull speed with the laminator allows you to dial in a specific coat weight. This feature benefits the development of hot melt adhesive systems for future production. The Hot Melt Laboratory Coater / Laminator includes: brake, unwind stand, and simple guiding system - 120 or 240 Volt units available.
• Rugged construction, capable of withstanding the abuse of the production environment
• Aluminum frame, hard coat anodized and Teflon coated
• Precision ground, 303 stainless steel coating bars for highly accurate cross web coating
• Set the gap quickly with two feeler gauge sets, included with the machine
• Reservoir capacity up to 125 mL
• Reservoir is capable of maintaining temperatures up to 400°F (204°C)
• Coating range capable of producing 25 gsm to 1,500 gsm samples
• Produce samples of unlimited length from 3" (7 cm) to 12" (30 cm) in width
• 500-watt heating rods provide heating capacity to the reservoir and two coating bars
• J-type thermocouple is an integral part of each heating rod
• Reservoir and coating bar temperatures are accurately maintained by individual digital PID controllers
• Temperature controllers, heating elements and electronics are housed in a separate steel enclosure
