119" (3.02M) trim Off Machine Coater

Used 3.02 meter trim off machine coater originally built in the 1970s and rebuilt in the 1980’s and rebuilt again in late 1990s. The coater was originally built by Walmsleys and rebuilt by Beloit and others. Coater speed is up to 800 m/min. There is now a BTG twin HSM pre-coater capable of applying 10 – 12 gsm/side at 60% solids and two Beloit S-Matic blade coaters retrofitted in 2001 with Metso CD coat weight control and applying 10 – 16 gsm per side, each followed by gas infra-red, hot air air-cap and six unfelted dryer cylinders. The coater is primarily running single and double coated woodfree publication and printing papers in the 75 – 170 gsm range, but also single side coated woodfree label papers. It has successfully run groundwood-containing base stock in the past and was originally built to manufacture LWC. There is a pre-winder used to combine two 1500mm diameter rewound machine reels into a single 2100mm reel on a machine shell prior to the coater and a flying splice unwind. The rebuilds in the 1980s replaced the original blade coaters with Beloit S-Matic Blade coaters. The dryers after each coater station were also rebuilt in the 1980s and have recently been rebuilt to be fuelled by natural gas in place of the previous LPG. The late 1990’s rebuild focussed on the addition of the BTG pre-coater and its associated drying equipment (Infra-red plus hot air) to allow double coating. At the same time the drive system was upgrades to ABB Digital. The CD coat weight profile control was also added in 2001. Wind -up is on spools using a pope reel which follows a single-nip calender used primarily as a pull stack for threading. The standard practice in the mill was to rereel and cut clean slit edges between the paper machine and the off machine coater. Coated reels were sent directly to the supercalenders unless they had breaks, in which case they are rewound on a Masson Scott U2A winder. Also available separately are. two sets of 10-roll supercalenders which are fitted with flexitherm rolls, a single drum Valmet JR1000 slitter rewinder with four rewind stations and three Masson Scott folio sheeters. Coating kitchen equipment may also be available.

150" Off-Machine Coating Line

Used 3.8-meter trim off machine coater originally built in the late 1960s and rebuilt in 1990 and rebuilt again in late 1990s. The coater was originally built by Black Clawson and rebuilt by Beloit. Coater speed is up to 1100 m/min. Coat weight range 10 - 20 gsm/side. It primarily ran coated publication papers in the 60 - 120 gsm range but could run higher basis weights as required. It has successfully run groundwood-containing base stock as lightweight as 40 gsm. 

The Black Clawson turret unwind operates from reel spools. Maximum diameter of reels on the unwind is 2185 mm. The two rebuilds in the 1990s replaced the original Black Clawson blade coaters with Beloit Combi Blade coaters - which can be run as either short dwell or applicator roll coaters. 

The dryers after each coater station were also rebuilt in the 1990s. Following each coating station are Impact gas-fired infrared dryers and high velocity gas-fired flotation dryers plus 2 drying cylinders. The drying cylinders are unfelted and used primarily for tension control and web stabilization. 

Wind-up is on spools using a pope reel. A new variable frequency AC sectional drive was installed as part of the 1990s rebuild. Also included is a 3.8-meter trim Black Clawson re-reeler with slitters and trim removal system. Rebuild in the 1990s included a new Reliance drive. The standard practice in the mill was to re-reel and cut clean slit edges between the paper machine and the off machine coater. Coated reels were sent directly to the super calenders. If there was a break on the off machine coater, the coated reels were spliced and cleaned up on the re-reeler before going to the super calenders.
