Curtain Coating

Curtain Coating

Curtain coating process creates an uninterrupted curtain of fluid that falls onto a substrate. The object to be coated, such as a door, is passed along the conveyor at a controlled speed and so receives even coating on its upper face. The curtain is created by using a slit at the base of the holding tank, allowing the liquid to fall upon the substrate.

Uses

  • Promotional, opening price-point and moderate market levels.
  • Cookware: Interiors and exteriors.
  • Bakeware
  • Small electrics.

Advantages

  • Speed: This system can coat from 3,000 to 4,000 pieces per hour
  • Minimum personnel required.
  • Virtually no waste: Since the small amount of unused coating is cycled back into the system, this method wastes less coating than any other.
  • Aesthetics: The only non-spray process that imparts a smooth, glossy finish, with no track marks.
  • Flexibility: Disks can be as thin or as thick as specifications require.
