Curtain Coating Opportunities

Capella Creates New Curtain Coating Opportunities

Curtain Coating is the ultimate coating process. The major advantages are:

    1. 100% coater operational efficiency, defect free, with 1 minute product changes
    2. Perfect coated appearance -- pinhole free, mottle free with a uniform contour coated layer
    3. Uniformity results in reduced coat weight requirements and a superior printing surface
    4. A product development cycle of 1 month from the lab samples to market introduction

Additional advantages are:

    1. Allows multi-layer products with unique properties
    2. Coater maintenance material and labor costs of less than $5,000/year
    3. Random width scheduling. Deckles are adjusted on the fly and can be run full width or with a dry edge.
    4. Potential manning reduction -- it requires little attention and little operator skill.
    5. Reduced coat weight when uniform coverage is the goal. This could as much as 40% reduction.
