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
seals, 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.
