COIL COATING AND FINISHING SYSTEM
Black Bros. Co. introduces a new line of coating machines specifically designed for the needs of the coil coating industry. Over 100 years of roll coating and laminating experience and technology development, combined with the best industry analysis, are producing unique new features and advantages to benefit owners of Black Bros. Coil Coating machinery. The complete array of machines available for this industry includes 'S' Wrap Coaters, Horizontal and Vertical Coaters as well as innovative "Fast Change" and "Shuttle Head" Coaters. A full line of film to coil laminators is also available from Black Bros.
The Black Bros Panel Express heat-assisted rotary laminator is designed to laminate all types of HPL and most veneers to particleboard or MDF down to individual parts 44'' long.
The Black Bros. "wet paper" system pairs up the seven seventy-five adhesive spreader with the TB-60R hot melt laminator, allowing you to run either pre-glued or non-glued papers and vinyl for maximum flexibility. This system overcomes the typical "grain raise" problem that leaves a rough, unsatisfactory finish when gluing paper to wood substrate. A Black Bros. Panel Cleaner assures that the substrate is clean before the adhesive is applied. And by adding a Black Bros. Pneumatic Panel Feeder, total manpower to operate this system can be reduced to just two individuals. For faster run speeds or when moisture or cold is a consideration, an oven can be inserted between the panel cleaner and the seven seventy-five. Using non-glued paper and water-based adhesives can reduce the glue line cost nearly fifty percent.
Our machines are proven performers for applying base coats, stains, fillers and sealers, varnishes, and top coats using either conventional or UV curable materials. A variety of coaters can be utilized, depending on the type of coating and the degree of smoothness required. The Differential Direct Roll Coater (DDRC), for instance, offers an almost infinite range of capabilities and precision settings, plus independent variable speed drives on the coating roll, doctor roll, and feed conveyor for maximum flexibility. For doors or panels requiring finished edges, our vertical edge coater can be mounted in-line with the other stations to eliminate manual pre-coating or finish work.
The Black Bros. Hot Press System incorporates a Joos heated platen press to create the ultimate hot press system. If you're laminating wood veneers, HPL, odd size parts, or need to move laminated pieces right into final production, this hot press system is for you.
Rugged and compact, this system is designed as a highly efficient two-person operation easily capable of laminating 250 to 300 panels per hour. The system uses a heat application to bond either pre-coated or plain papers and decorative foils to materials such as particleboard, MDF, and chipboard. The TB-60 was originally designed to use adhesive-backed papers and foils. However, coupling the TB-60 with our 775 Hot Melt Spreader provides the flexibility to use a variety of plain, less expensive non-adhesive-backed papers, as well as the highly efficient and environmentally safe pre-coated materials.
The key to this system is the 775 Hot Melt Adhesive Spreader including proper shielding and exhaust hoods, placement of drive components and heating connections at opposite ends to insure accurate, consistent glue application. The Rotary Laminator smoothes the adhesive and eliminates any air entrapment which could cause rejects.
The combination of a 775 Adhesive Spreader and a Rotary Laminating Press forms the central core of this system. This specialty room-temperature PVA is a high tack, fast setting adhesive found to be ideal for laminating HPL, decorative plastic, and other sheet products to substrates such as particleboard and MDF. Its quick set-up time makes this PVA ideal for laminating cut-to-size panels and permits manufacturers to machine piece parts from full-size panels soon after lamination.
Our cold press laminating system is designed for bonding decorative plastic, veneer, and other sheet products to particleboard, plywood, and other substrates in a continuous batch operation. This system is built around our newest adhesive spreader, the Model 775, for application of adhesive, and the Air or Power Pod Press for keeping a stack under constant pressure while
the glue dries. 
These cold laminating systems differ somewhat from panel manufacturing because of the method for door assembly and the need for manual lay-up of the various core components. Like the Panel System, the primary machines are the Model 775 Adhesive Spreader and the Air Pod Press. Presses used in door manufacture are typically built to accept higher stacks, and a manufacturer
can use one Glue Spreader to glue all components for as many as five or six presses.
