Tailor-Made Solutions for the Production of Technical Textiles

The variety of coating applications requires specialized coating machines. Olbrich supplies for many processes the right system:

• Floating knife [horizontal, vertical (double-sided)]
• Knife Coater
• Roll Coater, Reverse Roll Coater
• Dip coating / Foulard
• Screen Coating
• Pressurized chamber doctor

The applied coating compound has to be dried, gelled or foamed. Various processes are used for this purpose. Olbrich offers them all:

• Vertical and horizontal drying systems
• Recirculated air drier
• Gelling oven
• Radiation drier
• Infrared heating systems 

• Off-line lines for high lacquering / printing speeds
• In-line lines to produce finished products in one passage through the line
• Stripe printing lines
• Lacuering technology for water-based and solvent-based systems
• Forward or reverse lacquering in one machine
• Special lacquer circulation pump and heating systems with integrated rinse cycle
• Fully-automatic gap and pressure regulation for highest reproducibilty accuracy in combination with formulation administration

Laminating several webs of different materials can be a simple task or a complex process. Olbrich offers solutions for many products with different lamination processes.

• Wet lamination
• Hot lamination
• Adhesive lamination

3D products surface (for optical or technical reasons) by embossing and smoothing units

• Embossing units
• Register embossing
• Turret embossing (multiple rollers in one unit for quick change of pattern)
• Smooting calander

For the completion of the production processes there is a great variety of unwinding and rewinding devices available which can be adapted to the line concept.

• Single-station rewinder / unwinder
• Double-station rewinder / unwinder
• Turret winders
• Winding and Wrapping Units

Web control is a critical parameter in many coating and lamination processes. For providing and keeping correct tensions during the production process Olbrich builds:

• Web accumulators (Spindles and chain)
• Web inverters
• Pulling stations
• Web tension controls

The electrical engineering equipment, the drive technology and the control lines are designed and constructed by Olbrich. As a close business partner of manufacturers of drive components Olbrich uses state of the art technology to realize innovative drive concepts. Olbrich is not only able to integrate further units but to realize process visualizations and management information systems as well.
