Rotary Screen System

Knife System

Function/Description

In the field of screen technology, a general distinction between surface printing and rotary printing can be made. For the continuous processing of coating compounds, only the rotary screen technology is used.

The coating raw material to be applicated is pumped into a rotating screen. Then it is applicated onto the substrate by a knife which is placed inside the screen. The coating weight is determined by the mesh number of the screen (openings/cm²) and by the thickness of the screening plate.

The rotary screen technology is used for the application of foams and special designs.

Variations of the Coating Weight

  • 10 to 300 g/m²

Range of Viscosity [mPas]

  • Paste 10 000 - 80 000
  • Foam 10 000 - 25 000

Typical Applications

  • Blackout
  • Application of designs
  • Printing
