Our facility is equipped with eight coating machines: seven roll-to-roll coaters and one sheet coater. The roll-to-roll coating machines offer MICROGRAVURE™, slot die, and/or knife coating. All of our large scale coaters have a zone of counterflow dryer followed by air impingement dryer with parallel air flow to protect the most delicate coating surface. Our contract coating machines are meticulously maintained by a team of experienced Japanese engineers.
