The Semi-Automatic Screen Coater by Vastex is a versatile and efficient solution for screen printing operations, offering precise and consistent emulsion coating for screens of various sizes. Designed to enhance workflow and productivity, this coater features foot pedal control, allowing the screen to descend at a steady rate, enabling the user to hold the scoop coater more steadily with two hands than possible with one-handed manual methods.
Key Features:
- Versatile Screen Size Compatibility: The coater accommodates screens ranging from as small as 10 inches (25 cm) to as large as 36 inches (90 cm) in height, with virtually no width limitation. This wide compatibility ensures that screens of various sizes can be efficiently coated with emulsion, maximizing versatility and adaptability in screen printing operations.
- Secure Frame Holding: A spring-loaded clamp securely holds wood, aluminum, and retensionable frames weighing up to 11 lbs (5 kg), providing stable support during the coating process. This ensures that the frames remain securely in place, minimizing the risk of movement or slippage for consistent and reliable results.
- Adjustable Coating Speed: The coater features a digital voltmeter that allows the user to set a specific coating speed based on the voltage reading, ensuring consistent and repeatable results. This adjustable coating speed capability enables users to tailor the coating process according to emulsion viscosity, screen mesh, and emulsion thickness, optimizing coating quality and efficiency.
- Smooth Motion and Heavy-Duty Performance: Powered by a powerful motor, the coater provides smooth motion and handles heavy screens with ease, ensuring reliable performance and consistent coating results. This robust construction and powerful motor contribute to enhanced productivity and longevity, making the coater suitable for high-demand screen printing environments.
- User-Friendly Design: The coater requires no tools for height or screen length adjustments, allowing for quick and easy setup and operation. Additionally, it features a space-saving wall-mount design with included hardware, maximizing floor space in the printing facility while providing convenient access and operation.
