CUSTOMIZED MACHINE DESIGN

Schaefer Machine Co. can often modify the standard adhesive roll coaters and smoothing presses to fit special applications. We are able to connect machines to conveyer systems or link machines so they can laminate parts or transfer them to secondary operations.

Smoothing Presses are powered nip rolls, and can also be modified in several ways:
Air cylinders can be added to increase squeeze pressure Can be coupled to a hotmelt coater to laminate parts to release paper after coating. Can be built into an assembly machine to laminate film adhesive to a part (see drawing below) Can be built for lamination of parts up to 6" thick Can be used as a press feed - large sheet of material can be fed into cutting presses, or the scrap sheet can be pulled out of the press. Custom widths can be made. Rollers can be made of stainless steel, aluminum, or plated steel in place of the standard urethane surfaced rollers.
