Numeral Coating Machine (M31)
     
 

This high-speed Numeral Coating Machine is designed for the application of ink to the embossed portions of license plates. The system is complete with conveyor, coating head unit, heavy box base, control panel, and variable drive system, ready for operation.

Plates are manually loaded and then pushed by the feed pawls on to the conveyor and under the coating head unit.

The coating head unit contains two synthetic rubber-coating rollers positioned for proper contact with plates passing along the conveyor. These rollers run continuously with the distribution roller and fountain roller, both of hardened and polished steel. The fountain and distribution rollers, fitted with precision-machined scales, form a mill-type reservoir trough to carry a reserve ink supply. Fine spacing adjustments of these rollers maintain a uniform ink film on the rubber rollers. The coating head unit and its components are readily removable for easy cleaning.

All rollers are driven at speed ratios selected to permit a controlled distribution of enamel throughout the coating system. Power for the coating head is taken from the conveyor through a series of spur gears to assure positive synchronization of the coater roll surface and conveyor apron.

Optional Accessories:

  • M27 Ink Circulator - Used to circulate coating ink to maintain a consistent and quality finish
  • M94 Plate Distributor - An automatic four plate distribution system to automatically transfer plates in even rows onto a flat-belt finishing system

Alternative Equipment:

  • M31 Manual Coater - Uses as an alternative when many different color changes are necessary and the volume of plates is small as in sample runs of 10 to 20 plates
