TECHNOLOGIES FOR SEVERAL PROCESSES

We can offer our experience in several industrial processes which can be divided into the substrate nature: plastic films, metallic films, papers, fabrics and non-woven. Coating machines

These substrates are normally wound in rolls, in fact industrial processes are known as roll- to-roll. Chemical compounds are often used and they can be water, solvent or solvent-less based.

We can offer technologies for: Coating machines

  • Coating
  • Drying
  • Impregnation
  • Embossing
  • Lamination and transfer lamination

We also supply solutions for R&D department, auxiliary equipment and single machinery which can replace existing ones as well.

COATING – A FLEXIBLE TECHNOLOGY

FOR UNLIMIT

Coating is a technology in which chemical compound with specific rheological characteristics, is applied on a continuous substrate.

Coating can be divided into two main families: Coating machines

  • Direct coating: compound is coated directly on a substrate, normally textile;
  • Un-Direct or transfer coating: compound is coated in a film or paper which can be even removed at the end of the provess  

The coating applicator can be by knife or rotating cylinder. The industrial process does not included only the coating head but additional equipment in order to create the complete production line (e.g. unwinder, rewinder, accumulator, driers,..)

IMPREGNATION – THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGY FOR THE RIGHT BASE

Impregnation is a continuous process in which substrate is soaked up with a chemical compound in order to become more structural stable and suitable for other processes.

Woven or non-woven substrates can be impregnated even more than 6000 mm wide

Hot air drying and curing equipment can be electric, Ir or by gas heating. By gas using catalytic panels in mineral wool, ceramic or metal foam. Coating machines

EMBOSSING – MARKS TELLING ABOUT YOU

Embossing is an industrial process in which a strong mechanical pressure marks or smoothes surface of substrates. Embossing can be made at room or at specific temperature. Matex Srl.

Choice depend on customer or article requirement. Coating machines

LAMINATION AND TRANSFER LAMINATION – SIMILAR THINGS MIGHT BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

Processes of lamination and transfer lamination are commonly known as very similar but in fact they are completely different one to the other.

Lamination is the technology which brings 2 or more substrates together in order to get a new single substrate. Matex Srl.

In transfer lamination instead, a substrate is temporary in contact with another in order to transfer its properties and then being removed. The mostly know applications use transfer films or paper.
“Releasing Machine” of Matex Srl represents a specific solution for this process.

DRYING – AN INDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGY Matex Srl.

Drying is a subject much more complex than what it looks like and it must be considered and treated as an independent technology.

Most of time just drying substrates is not enough, but it is necessary to transfer calories in order to activate and complete chemical reactions.

A good drier must have heating and ventilation uniformity in the whole cross width.

Driers are crucial equipment for a good quality product and production capacity.

Our driers are one of our strongest points which make our name famous worldwide.

R&D: THE BASEMENT OF YOUR SUCCESS

Today, much more than yesterday, R&D is becoming an important key factor for competing and succeed in global market.

Matex, in order to meet this need, can offer some pilot equipment in order to simulate the industrial processes.

AUXILIARY PRODUCTS AND SINGLE MACHINERY – INNOVATIVE REALIZATIONS

There are some products which cannot be included in our families division, but this does not mean they are less important. Following are some of them:

  • Rotovision – Machines for inspection and control of release paper which can be supplied with single or double inspection table
  • Slitting Machine – Machinery for cut and edge trimming of industrial width roll into more narrow rolls suitable to pilot equipment.
  • Triple P – Perfect Precision in Positioning: it is the most advanced system we can supply for the adjustment the gap between two parts (e.g. knife and cylinder, cylinder and cylinder). This system grants precision 3 times higher than traditional pneumatic/mechanic systems.
  • Vacuum Drive –  Pulling unit which use negative pressure (vacuum) in order to transport substrates. It is particular useful in order to replace standard pulling unit with cylinders (where normally one or more cylinders touch the treated side) or for pulling elastic substrates or laminating substrates in sheets and not in roll (e.g. lamination of splits leathers)
  • Cut & Go – Automatic system for roll unwinding, cut and splice in continuous without accumulator, till 40 m/m and substrates till 2400 mm wide.
  • Easy-Grinding – Automatic grinding group for rubber cylinders easy-to-use, removable and, in particular, very safe (it can be used in coating heads also not Matex)
