What Are The Benefits Of Using A Wire Bar Coater

Surface coating on paper is a significant function that takes place in the paper industry. A wire bar coater works as an essential instrument in making this function possible. It is able to coat paints, inks, and other coatings on the surface of the paper using a wire wound or Meyer Bar. while the method undertaken using this instrument is a traditional one and gives a uniform coating. Let us look at the positive aspects of this coater in the following section.

Benefits of using a Wire Bar Coater for Surface Coating 

Useful

The wire wound coater consists of a wire wound bar, i.e. a steel bar with a wire wrapped around it. It is through this wire that the thickness of the coating is determined. While the diameter of the wire is basically determined by the viscosity of the coating material (such as paint, ink, varnish, adhesive, etc.), the thickness of the coat, and the coating speed. 

Economical

Coating through this instrument is quite economical. Must say it is a great way to ensure uniform coating or uniform thickness of the applied material in a cost-effective manner.

Easy

Easy application and cleaning, are among the significant benefits of this type of coater. It is made of stainless steel with a high-quality non-corrosive steel wire wrapped around it that makes it very easy to use and clean post application.

Versatile

Coating materials such as paints, liquid printing inks, adhesives, varnishes, starch, and other similar ones can be applied using this wire coater. Hence, the operator doesn’t have to invest in multiple machines to coat paper, board foils, charts, etc. using different materials.
