Functionalization
and coating

Modern print and paper products have one thing in common - they are constantly being produced faster and need to be processed immediately. Variable paper qualities meet the most diverse ink systems such as inkjet, dry toner or conventional, oil-based inks. The WEKO fluid application systems (WFA) help to push the physical limits.

FAST IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Printed images are created by pigments that, depending on the ink system, bind more or less well to the paper surface. The application of silicone emulsions improves the rub and scratch resistance of the printed image.
Optimum processing speed, fewer production interruptions and higher quality products are the result.

Further applications can be found e.g. in the finishing with primers, fragrances or in the field of brand protection the application of fluorescent solutions.

With WEKO fluid application systems (WFA), various water- or oil-based fluids for functionalizing or coating papers can be applied with extreme precision. With the system consisting of WEKO-FLOW supply unit and WEKO-SIGMA rotor carrier, finest droplets of the application chemistry are applied to the paper contactless and precise. Due to the reproducible and exact minimum application, only as much chemistry as necessary for full functionality is applied.

Advantages at a glance:

• Precise, minimal and repeatable application quantities

• Resource-saving due to minimal consumption

• Contact-free application of the emulsion

• Wide application spectrum for highest web speeds

• No wear and tear or job-related exchange parts

• High flexibility - single or double-sided application possible

• Intuitive, easy operation

With the encapsulated application unit WEKO-ProTec , escaping aerosols can be significantly reduced by suction. This is the perfect solution for the protection of your employees and the working environment, especially in case of odor-intensive, greasy or harmful fluids.
