How do Walco's 756 (4 ft.) and 765 (5 ft.) Coater/ Laminators work?
A roll of vinyl is mounted on the unwind shaft and threaded through Walco’s coater’s edge trim station. Slitter knives are adjusted to trim the web to the width of the substrate panels. Infrared heaters "relax" the wrinkles in the vinyl before the 756 or 765 coats the film with adhesive. The coated film then passes through the hot oven where moisture is flashed off and the adhesive is brought to a "green tack" sage for laminating to the substrate.*
The vinyl web is threaded through the Walco 756/765, over a bowed roll, and into the first nip roll station. Substrate panels are fed into the nip and the film is applied smoothly to the substrate. A final set of pressure rolls ensures complete lamination of the web and substrate for stacking after cutting the panel apart. An optional rotating brush system is available for wrapping vinyl around the edges and/or the back of gypsum board panels.
*The application applies to industrial coating of water based adhesives. Flashing of glue "volatiles" other than water, require custom ovens and air scrubbing systems.
