The Hot Melt Laboratory Coater / Laminator is a precision laboratory bench top hot melt coating and laminating system capable of producing coated and laminated samples of hot melt adhesives on foils, films, papers and other web based materials. Lab scale simulations of production processes can be easily set up and studied. The ability of setting a specific gap and then being able to change the pull speed with the laminator allows you to dial in a specific coat weight. This feature benefits the development of hot melt adhesive systems for future production.
