By Rise Pfi
RISE PFI is investing in an advanced, custom-made pilot coater designed for printing, coating, and laminating various flexible materials, including paper, films, and metallic foils. The coater operates on a roll-to-roll basis and can apply both organic and water-based coatings using multiple application methods. The pilot coater we are investing in is based on a standard model but has been specially designed to meet our needs. The new pilot coater will be highly valuable for product development and can also be used for small-scale production of specialized products in low volumes. Among other things, we plan to use the coater to develop and test new barrier materials for packaging. With the new pilot coater, we will also be able to support the industry in testing various coatings at a pilot scale.
