Smartcoater Evo is the most versatile roller coating machine, suitable for various types of materials and processes, which can be used either as a stand-alone machine in small plants, or in-line within complex coating plants.
Smartcoater Evo is designed for roller coating panels and flat furniture doors. It is available in a range of configurations: with fixed or self-levelling floating head, with automatic longitudinal and transverse adjustment, ideal for working with panels that are not perfectly calibrated. The applicator rollers and dosing assembly can be fitted with different types of cleaning blades to allow the use of various coatings. Lastly, the Smartcoater Evo control board is equipped with a touch screen for management of all machine parameters.
The equipment payback is very fast, as past CEFLA customers have found. This is primarily because the amount of lacquer used in the CEFLA roller coating system is, on average, one tenth of the amount used by the spraying method. Although UV lacquer is typically twice the price of PU based lacquer, this still means the cost of UV is one fifth of the price of PU.
There are many other benefits too, but looking at the lacquer costings, according to CEFLA, when compared with a solvent-based PU lacquer, the UV lacquer costings make good commercial sense – see box below.
