Narrow Web
Coaters
New Era’s experience in providing a wide variety of coating equipment is reflected in its design of narrow width units, which are provided with all of the features and performance of wider width units. We manufacture all of the same style of coaters in narrow width as we do for wide width, such as gravure, offset gravure, differential offset gravure, slot die, reverse roll, knife over roll (KOR), dip and squeeze, mayer rod, spray, slide and five roll coaters. Every coater we build custom designed for our customers process conditions and particularly in the case of narrow web, pilot scale equipment, incorporates modular designs and portable components for the utmost flexibility. Our coater designs range from standard construction with manual adjustment to fully automatic, closed loop systems controlled real time by online thickness gauging systems. These closed loop systems can control coater pump speeds, roll speeds and gap profiles utilizing servo positioned gap controls. New Era fabricates coating machinery for water based, solvent and hot melt processes and we have the ability to trial most coatings on our pilot line. Additionally, we offer a portable coating line (PCL) which can be provided with a wide variety of coating applicator styles and is designed to operate in a lab or office style environment.
