Roller Coating Machine

Model: SL-TRD

The roller coating machine is widely used for coating flat products. A rubber roller and a doctor steel roller form a coating unit. The machine pumps the liquid paint, then recycles it, evenly coating the flat surface. All power parts are controlled by frequency conversion. The HMI touchscreen enables intuitive, efficient control of the entire roller coating machine.

Application Materials:

  • Fiber cement board, Magnesium oxide board, Calcium silicate board
  • Wood, Veneer, Glass, Metal, Plastic, PVC
  • Marble, Ceramics, Special material, etc.

Application Coatings:

  • UV, PU, PE, NC, AC, Water-based paint
  • Fluorocarbon paint, Glue, Special paint, etc.

Roller Coating Machine For Precise Liquid Coating

Liquid coating enters the working section and is transferred to the moving panel through a controlled roller assembly. Rubber and doctor steel rollers work together to meter the coating before it reaches the surface, while a dedicated return path sends unused material back into circulation. You can use the system for fiber cement board, magnesium oxide board, calcium silicate board, wood, veneer, glass, metal, plastic, PVC, marble and ceramics, with UV, PU, PE, NC, AC, water-based, fluorocarbon and adhesive coatings available for different finishing processes.

Control Coating Transfer At The Roller Surface

Coating quality starts at the contact point between the rollers. An EPDM application roller carries the liquid film toward the substrate, while a chrome-plated doctor steel roller controls the coating layer through its working gap. A separate steel scraper removes excess material from the roller surface before transfer.

  • Meter liquid coating through the roller gap
  • Remove excess coating before it reaches the panel
  • Maintain an even film across the working roller
  • Adjust the working arrangement for different coating materials
  • Keep the panel moving through a continuous coating path

EPDM rollers are produced through a controlled manufacturing process and ground through the central section for more even coating distribution. Chrome-plated steel rollers undergo precision machining, electrolytic polishing and hard chrome plating, with surface roughness maintained at Ra≤0.8 μm.

Fine-Tune The Scraper Against The Roller

A micro-adjustable steel scraper sits along the roller surface. Small changes to the scraper gap control how much coating remains on the roller, helping form a more uniform film before material reaches the panel.

Visible adjustment points run along the scraper assembly, while the rigid metal structure holds the working position in place. Roller and scraper settings can be coordinated with the coating material and required surface finish.

Keep Liquid Coating In A Closed Working Route

Unused coating returns through the machine’s return groove and moves back toward the supply system through a high-flow pump. This circulation system keeps liquid material inside the coating process rather than sending excess paint into the surrounding workspace.

Paint utilization can reach 99%, while liquid coating avoids the airborne spray generated by atomized application.

Give Each Drive Its Own Control

Separate motors and precision reducers serve the core transmission components. Frequency-conversion control coordinates their operation, allowing roller movement and related mechanical functions to run through independent drive sections rather than one shared transmission path.

Move Flat Products Through A Continuous Coating Line

Continuous panel production can connect coating with upstream surface treatment and downstream drying or curing. You can place the machine within a UV roller coating line when UV primer or topcoat forms part of the finishing process.

A broader production route can also combine the coating section with panel cleaning equipment and paint drying equipment, keeping material movement continuous between processing stages.

Configure The Working Section Around Your Product

Working width, working thickness and feeding direction can be adjusted around your production layout. Roller materials can be selected for different substrates and paints, while conveying arrangements and rotation direction can be configured according to the intended coating process.

99% Paint Utilization

The roller coating machine has a liquid coating circulation function, which increases the coating utilization rate to 99% through the body's return coating groove and high-flow pump. The use of liquid coating reduces the emission of volatile organic compounds and reduces air pollution.

7.5% Precisely Coating

The stable mechanical structure ensures the precise coating of various flat products. The main moving parts all use separate motors, reducers, and frequency-conversion control, providing the best accuracy and stability. Customized roller coating machines can achieve coating accuracy within 7.5%.

8-12M/Min Continuous Production

Equipped with an automatic control system, the roller coating machine reduces manual intervention, can be seamlessly connected to paint drying ovens and surface treatment equipment to achieve continuous production. Customized roller coating machines can reach production speeds of up to 60 m/min.

Standard Characteristics

Application Rubber Roller

EPDM rubber rollers, due to their highly saturated molecular main chain structure, possess strong chemical stability and excellent resistance to solvents and corrosion, and are not easily swollen by solvents. Every rubber roller is made by a standard process and strict checks, grinding the middle to a higher precision to ensure the entire roller coating is evenly distributed.

Doctor Steel Roller

Chrome-plated steel cylindrical rollers are manufactured through multiple precision machining processes. After electrolytic polishing and hard chrome plating, the roller's surface roughness is maintained at Ra≤0.8μm, featuring excellent wear resistance and surface flatness. By adjusting the gap between the roller and the application roller, the coating film thickness can be precisely controlled.

Adjustable Roller Scraper

Equipped with a high-precision adjustable steel scraper, a micro-adjustment mechanism allows precise control of the gap between the scraper and the roller surface with minimal tolerance, efficiently removing excess coatings and forming a uniform, dense thin coating layer on the roller surface, preventing uneven coating or color differences caused by the roller coating machine.

Motor Reducer

Adopting a modular, independent transmission design, each core transmission component is equipped with an exclusive drive motor and precision reducer, ensuring one-to-one matching between the power source and the transmission link, avoiding power loss and interference caused by multi-component linkage, and achieving the continuous and stable coating process.
