Features

  • A resin dispensing and applying system which stores the UV resin and dispenses it to the applicator system at an adjustable ratio proportional to fabric speed. The applicator applies a stripe of resin 1/4 wide at a point near the edge being followed by the sensor system and near the other edge at a preset, fixed distance from the first stripe.
  • An ultraviolet curing irradiator and light shield system cures the resin.
  • Slitting knives are used to shear the fabric to a precise width.
  • A pneumatic conveying system is used for the edge trim removal.

Typical Industrial Fabric Application

  • Fabric composition - "E" type glass with Silane treatment.
  • Fabric weight - 0.6 to 7.0 ounces per square yard.
  • Fabric process speed - up to 100 yards per minute.
  • Fabric width - 38 to 62 inches.
  • Resin application width - approximately 1/4" on each edge.
  • Slitting tolerances - ± 1/16 inch over a range of ± 1 inch.
