Specifying a Coating and Laminating Line – Part 2

Presented by Robert A Pasquale, New Era Converting Machinery

As business plans and requirements change, end users occasionally find themselves needing to explore the possibility of acquiring new coating and laminating assets. To address these changes, the user needs to generate a specification outlining the requirements.

In these presentations we will outline the information that is typically required by the equipment manufacturer to provide an appropriate quote. We will group these requirements into two parts, the first being those directly related to the coating and laminating needs, and the second being those additional items required to complete the processing line.

This presentation will address those items that are required to complete the processing line. Particular focus will be placed on the web handling requirements, which are a major part of any web processing line. This will include unwinding, guiding, tension control, and winding. We will also cover other potential processing requirements such as roll handling, web treating and inspection.
