ABC™ Coater
Benchmark Efficiency & Flexibility
ABC™ Pneumatic Profiling
The system is based on the principle of the backing roll providing the reference point for the profiling system. This means that interference from the blade holder position or movement is eliminated. The result of this principle is a self-positioning system that delivers uniform and excellent profiles right from the start of the coating process.
The ABC™ control mechanism is reliable and developed to withstand the harsh environment in the coating machine. The control actuators are made of acid-proof stainless steel. The first actuator of this type was installed in 1998 and they have proven to be maintenance-free. Want to know more?
Benefits of ABC™ Pneumatic Profiling
Features
- Immediate flat cross-direction profiles
- Repeatable and uniform quality
- Allows for quick grade changes
- Large coat weight range with uniform profiles also when applying high coat weights
ABC™ Coater with Excellent Runnability for High Product Quality
ABC™ Profiling in Manual Mode (without QCS link)
The ABC™ system delivers excellent profiles also in manual mode due to the self-positioning. This is shown by the initial 2-Sigma values that are achieved. The product is in quality already from the start.
ABC™ Profiling in Auto Mode (with QCS link)
The ABC™ profiling can be linked to the QCS system, the final result is based on the capability and quality level of the QCS system.
