To meet the growing demand for recyclable and functional materials, EMBA has recently acquired a fully customized Comexi coating machine, designed for maximum versatility in coatings on paper. This machine is specifically designed to enable EMBA to address the most demanding markets in flexible packaging, particularly those focused on water-based solutions and high-barrier coatings on paper.
Innovation in Paper Coatings
The heart of this new solution lies in its double coating system and double drying section. This customized configuration offers unparalleled operational flexibility:
- Double-side coating in a single process: Allows the application of a water-based coating on both sides of the paper substrate in the same production cycle.
- Double coating on the same side in a single pass: Provides the ability to apply two different coatings on the same side of the paper, ideal for building complex barriers or combining functionalities in one pass.
This design optimizes production efficiency and minimizes material handling, ensuring superior process quality.
Benefits of the Double Coating System and Real-Time Monitoring for EMBA
To ensure maximum reliability in such demanding coating processes, cutting-edge monitoring technology has been integrated, as the machine is equipped with a Scantech gram weight meter that enables real-time monitoring of the water-based coating application.
This constant and ultra-precise control of the applied gram weight is crucial to maintain product consistency and meet the stringent specifications required by the high-demand markets that EMBA aims to conquer.
Comexi’s ability to design such specific and dedicated solutions, like this coating machine for EMBA, highlights Comexi’s commitment to personalized innovation. With this strategic investment, EMBA is opening doors to new opportunities.
