The ChemInstruments Hot Melt Coater produces samples of hot melt adhesives for a thorough evaluation. The Hot Melt Coater is designed to permit maximum flexibility in hot melt formulations. Lab production of a large quantity of consistent samples for comprehensive evaluation is simplified by several construction features of the Laboratory Hot Melt Coater:
-
The reservoir maintains temperatures up to 400¡Æ F (204¡Æ C) and can melt solids or use pre-melted material.
-
Easy gauge adjustment permits quick production of coated samples from less than 25 grams/square meter to 1500 grams/square meter. Feeler gauges are included for accurate coating thickness.
-
Three 500 watt heating rods provide even temperature in the reservoir and the coating bars to maintain flow properties.
-
Reservoir temperature is easily set or reproduced using the digital controller.
-
Two precision ground stainless steel coating bars produce even cross web coat weight.
-
12" (30cm) wide samples of unlimited length can be produced.
-
Standard features are an unwind stand, base plate and feeler gauges.
-
HLC-101 features three controllers with each element having its own thermocouple.
-
Coater reservoir capacity up to 125 grams.
