The feed roller position is adjustable for gluing of different part thicknesses, and drops away from the coating roller for machine cleanup. The machine can be used for coating parts from .003” to 1” thick.
For cleanup, a wash collection tray is inserted under the coating roll, and water is pumped up to the coating roller and doctor roller interface by a separate washdown pump. Washdown water with waste adhesive is collected in a separate reservoir. For solvent base adhesive, cleanup solvent is sprayed onto both the coating roller and doctor roller and waste is collected in a reservoir.
The feed rate of the topside coating machine is up to 100 feet per minute with the standard variable speed DC drive. Each machine comes mounted on a metal stand with locking casters.
