Operational Description
The Union Series #5, Model C 14" Roll Coater was specifically designed to apply a smooth and controllable amount of UV paint to the top surface of glass substrates for solar applications such as lighting fixtures. By incorporating an infeed and offbearing conveyor, this roller coater can be placed right in the production line.
The conveyor connects a wash/rinse operation with a UV oven to dry the UV-coated substrates. This is a reverse-action roller coater, which produces a very smooth coated surface. An explosion-proof motor and electricals have been added due to the use of flammable cleanup solvents. A variable speed drive unit allows for increased production without losing coating quality.
