Note: PC also offers slot die coating systems; but most commonly gravure and meyer bar systems are applied
▪ New Generation of patented Pressurized Gravure Systems AGS/PGS Systems
▪ New inner coating distribution design and improved blade clamping
➢ higher cross web coating uniformity
➢ less coating material loss and improved production cost savings
➢ less downtime and less possibilities for operators to make mistakes
* Patented Pressurized (double) chamber

11. Future Trend for the Packaging Industry
▪ Design and optimize barrier functions
➢ multiple layers in one pass
▪ No excess fluid
▪ No misting
▪ Virtually no coating defects
▪ No contact - No web breaks
▪ Superior film thickness uniformity:
➢ Cross profile < ±1%
➢ Length profile < ±1%
▪ No wear and tear of equipment
Simultaneous multi-layer coating: highest potential for increased material utilization

12. Latest Innovation in Silicone Coating
Eltex Anti-Misting Tacker – New approach to reduce misting
Patented double-row plasma electrodes preventing:
▪ Silicone loss → cost
▪ Downtime for cleaning → cost
▪ Particle deposit on roll surface or on substrate → cost
▪ Slippery in the area of the coating head → safety
▪ Exhaust systems→ cost
▪ Expensive chemical substances «Antimisting Agent»
System Benefits
▪ No silicone losses - reduced coating consumption
▪ Less pollution to subsequent processes and environment
▪ Optimal coating results at highest speeds
▪ Less downtime and maintenance effort
