CAVIMELT

Hotmelt coating with rotogravure roll on web substrates

The CAVIMELT process is similar to the rotogravure printing process. The molten adhesive is in a heated trough which is longitudinally in contact with the rotating gravure roll. In this manner, the cavities of the gravure roll are filled with adesive. A doctor blade seals the trough towards the engraved roll and cleans the surface of the latter.

The web, lead between gravure roll and counter roll, is thus taking over the adhesive from the cavities according to the engraving pattern .

CAVITEC combines the hotmelt coating machine with laminating calender, low tension drive and web guiding systems, unwinders for substrate and laminate, winder for product, accumulators, etc to a complete lamination plant according to your requirements.

Auxiliary equipment for heating, cooling, melting (extruder, drum or block melter, ...) make up the scope of supply.

Combinations of PU-foam with fabric, for the automotive or upholstery industries, or combinations of breathable membranes with nonwoven for interlining of functional and outdoor clothing are typical applications.
