Introduction
Paper coating machine is a kind of equipment for coating various coatings or chemicals on the surface of paper, which has a wide range of applications in printing, packaging, decoration and other fields. With the continuous development of science and technology, the technology of paper coater is also constantly innovative and improved to meet the market demand for high-quality printing and packaging materials. This paper will deeply discuss the paper coater’s technical principle, work flow and its application in different fields.
First, the technical principle of paper coating machine
The paper coating machine is mainly composed of feeding system, coating system, drying system and winding system. Among them, the feeding system is responsible for feeding the original paper into the coater, the coating system is responsible for evenly coating the surface of the paper, the drying system is used to quickly cure the coating, and the winding system is to neatly wind the coated paper roll.
Coating technology is the core of paper coating machine, and its quality directly affects the quality of the final product. At present, the main coating technology includes drum coating, scraper coating, spray coating and so on. By rotating the roller, the coating is evenly coated on the surface of the paper. Scraper coating is the use of a scraper to smooth the paint, so that it is evenly attached to the paper; The spray coating is to spray the paint on the surface of the paper by high-pressure gas.
In order to ensure coating uniformity and stability, paper coater is usually equipped with a reliable coating control system. These systems can monitor coating thickness, speed and paint flow in real time, and automatically adjust equipment parameters for precise coating control.
Second, the work flow of paper coater
2.1 Feeding system:
The first step in the workflow is to feed the original paper into the coater. The feeding system usually includes a paper winding device, a tensioning device and a guiding device. The paper is rolled up at this stage and transferred to the next workstation.
2.2 Coating system:
The coating system is the core of the entire workflow, which determines the quality and uniformity of the coating layer. In the coating system, the paper is transferred under the coating device and the paint is evenly applied to the surface of the paper by a roller, scraper or spray system. Coating control system will adjust coating thickness and coating speed according to real-time monitoring parameters to ensure coating quality.
2.3 Drying system:
After coating is complete, the paper enters the drying system to accelerate the curing process of the coating. The drying system usually includes high temperature air ducts, hot air hair dryers and other equipment to ensure that the coating reaches the curing requirements in a short time to improve production efficiency.
2.4 Winding system:
Finally, the coated and dried paper is fed into the winding system. At this stage, the coated rolls are neatly picked up and prepared for subsequent processing and transportation. At the same time, the winding system is also responsible for controlling the tension of the paper roll to avoid undesirable phenomena during the winding process.
Third, the application of paper coating machine in different fields
3.1 Printing industry:
In the printing industry, paper coating machines are widely used in the production of high-quality printed matter. By coating different kinds of coatings, it can realize the functions of waterproof, oil proof and wear resistance to the printed matter, and improve the durability and appearance quality of the printed matter.
3.2 Packaging Industry:
In the packaging industry, paper coating machines are mainly used for the production of packaging materials. By coating different coatings, it can realize the functions of moisture-proof, moisture-proof gas and antistatic of packaging materials, and improve the applicability and fresh-keeping effect of packaging materials.
3.3 Decoration industry:
In the decoration industry, paper coater is widely used in furniture, building materials and other fields. By coating with different colors and textures, the paper can show different decorative effects to meet the decorative requirements of different scenes and needs.
3.4 Other Fields:
In addition to the above areas, paper coater also has a wide range of applications in many other fields, such as electronic product manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and so on. By coating different functional coatings, paper can be conductive, insulating, flame retardant and other characteristics to meet the special needs of different fields.
Conclusion
As an important processing equipment, paper coating machine plays a key role in printing, packaging, decoration and other fields. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the technology of paper coater is constantly innovative and improved to meet the market demand for high-quality, multi-functional coating products. Through in-depth understanding of the technical principles and workflow of the paper coater, its application in different fields can be better understood, and provide a reference for future technological development.
