Paper coating and laminating machine VISION RX 400F

for plastic filmfor aluminum foilwith lamination

Overview
The VISION RX 400F is a custom-built extrusion coating and laminating line delivering performance for multi-layer composite structures across a variety of flexible packaging applications. Compact design and user-oriented accessibility enable fast job changeovers and maintenance. The VISION RX 400FTD tandem configuration enables production of complex composite structures in one pass by performing additional inline processes.

Key benefits

• Process precision
  • Precise web-tension control suitable for a full range of flexible substrates
  • Gentle handling and mixing of sensitive raw materials
  • In-house technology covering all core processes
• Modularity and upgradeability
  • Possibility to combine inline processes (primer coating, lacquering, flexo or gravure printing)
  • Upgradeable to tandem configuration (VISION RX 400FTD)
  • Shared components with gravure and laminating lines for parts interchangeability
• Operational control
  • Connectivity features for remote access to production data
  • Full control of reel change in both directions with configurable reel length, diameters and synchronized splicing
  • User-friendly HMI for complex setup and process control

Features

• Customizable layout: machine construction allows configurations adapted to specific production needs.
• Extrusion coating and laminating unit
  • Three-roll lamination system with indirect pressure to ensure uniform temperature across the web and minimize material stress
  • Fixed lamination point for optimal web handling
  • Replaceable components (chill roll, pressure rolls) designed for quick access, cleaning and maintenance
• Primer coating unit
  • Available with standard or enclosed-chamber doctor blade depending on coating type and speed
  • Fast doctor blade replacement
  • Technical solution to reduce foam formation (notably with water-based primers)
• Extrusion equipment
  • Manual or automatic die controlled by a thickness measurement system
  • Die carriage movement enabling wide-range die positioning and fine extrusion control
  • On-board electrical and thermoregulation cabinets to reduce footprint and cabling
  • Thermoregulation zones with fully automatic heating/cooling control
  • High-performance extruders on sliding carriage to compensate heat expansion; multiple layout options for extruder size, screen changer and die
• High-efficiency impingement dryer optimized for web handling; nozzle and roller cleaning; recirculation group sized to optimize power consumption; insulated hood to limit heat dispersion and save energy.
• Reel handling solutions: automatic lifting trolleys or hoist systems according to requirements.
• Shafted or shaftless winders: fully automatic duplex winders with bi-directional automatic splicing at full production speed; accurate tension control for a wide range of materials and solutions to optimise energy recovery.
