In order to get a good quality UV Coating machine, you should look at a few variables that make up the inner-workings of the machine. You need to start with a good feeding unit. It is essential for consistent registration and uninterrupted or continuous flow of the product to be coated.

Some uv coating machines have a friction type of feeding unit. However, the higher end models are equipped with a vacuum suction type of feeding unit (as shown in the video). This type uses a pump and blows air to separate the sheets and vacuum suction to pick up each sheet individually. It's then transported into the roller coating unit.

The roller coating unit is the heart of the machine. The two rollers actually have a slight crown in the middle of the rollers. This allows for the liquid plastic to flow from the middle of the unit outward to the edges. The sheet passes between these rollers which are immersed in a liquid form of UV coating material. The bottom roller usually has a squeegee to remove any excess liquid.

Once out of the rollers, the sheet travels down a conveyer and goes underneath a very high intensity lighting unit. Some units have one lamp while other have two. Usually the two lamp units can run at faster speeds. The two lamps work together to cure the coating quickly. Single lamp units do a great job at the rated machine speeds.

Then the sheet falls into a catch tray at the end of the machine, and you now have a beautifully UV Coated marketing piece that will demand attention, and is now water resistant and will last many years.
