Product Description

The Com500 coating machine is the only coating system dedicated to running and delivering high quality Ravenwood linerless labels. Designed to work to the correct specification required for applying labels to food stuffs with applicators that fall under the Ravenwood Nobac 5000 machine range.

The Com 500, designed and manufactured in the UK, is tailored to seamlessly integrate with Ravenwood’s linerless system. Built with a modular design, it can efficiently apply release strips and hot melt adhesive to pre-printed labels, yielding a ‘linerless’ label solution.

Simultaneous application of pressure sensitive adhesive and UV curable silicone lacquer.
Nordson adhesive pre-melting and delivery system allows for to up to 12 slot heads with screw adjustments for glue stripe widths.
Laser micrometer system.
Variable line widths from 3mm to 45mm achieved.
Slits and rewinds multiple lanes into finished reels, achieved in one pass.
Coating speeds up to 130 metres per minute.
Silicone is cured instantly via the UV curing system.
Finished reels are wound on the ‘three shaft turreting system’ to required configuration.
NEW Release Strip Wheel Support Air Shaft speeds up changeovers.
NEW Laser Micrometer allows for enhanced glue weight specifications.
Web guidance throughout the process.

The Com500 system, incorporating an HMI (Human Machine Interface) makes for easy to navigate screens for simple and concise operation. The dashboard controls the number of glue lines, glue weight, meterage on a completed reel including length and tension.

Release Strip Wheel Support Airshaft

The new support airshaft applies release strips to Ravenwood’s linerless labels and has been designed to replace the current (and standard) ETP locking Bush system.

Rigorously tested in a production environment.
Faster pattern set up.
Quick and easy to operate.
No expensive locking bushes to break and replace.
Much lighter than the previous system.
Fitted as standard to all new Ravenwood Com500 coaters and can also be retrofitted to (most) existing machines in the field.

NB: Current customer stock of release strip wheels will not work on the new Airshaft but can be modified with a 6mm keyway. Alternatively, there is the option to purchase replacement silicone wheels from Ravenwood.

Laser Micrometer

This state-of-the-art scanner boasts unrivalled accuracy via a 1mm square beam of light.

The scanner shines a beam of light through the adhesive and measures the difference in the angle of refraction. This allows the coat weight to be determined with great accuracy.
Effective on all substrates including clear film.
Major leap forward in quality assurance, alleviating the need to manually measure the adhesive coat weight offline.
Time and cost efficient.
Supersedes the previous IR Scanner.
Fitted as standard to all new Ravenwood Com500 coaters and can also be retrofitted to (most) existing machines in the field (contact Ravenwood for more details).

If you’re not considering purchasing a machine, we’re also pleased to offer research and development services, including contract coating, at our headquarters in Suffolk.
