performing
plates
Fast automatic pasting ranging
from 90 to 170 double panels a
minute.
Driven by an energy-efficient
15 HP motor with water cooled
gear reducer.
The extra heavy-duty hopper
includes intermeshing paddles
and a large diameter, hardened
knurled paste roller to provide
outstanding grid fill-out.
A hardened steel trowel roller
smoothes the paste across grids
exiting the hopper. There is no
rubber squeegee to drag or
create jams. The trowel roller is
easily adjustable without
stopping the pasting operation.
To maintain tighter pasting
tolerances, the hopper is
mounted over a rugged 38 mm
(1-1/2 inch) thick hardened
bedplate, which improves
durability and belt slide across
the bedplate.
The easy to adjust squeeze
roller provides even pressure
across the pasting belt to
remove moisture. A dryer belt
releases plates better and lasts
longer.
A belt take-up roller adjusts for
up to 50.8 mm (2 inches) of belt
slack. This keeps the belt tighter
for better pasting and longer belt
life.
There are three different grid
feeders for use with the MAC
170 Paster. The standard MAC
170 Feeder is a mechanical grid
feeder mounted onto the paster.
It can process grids from 0.9 to
3.8 mm (.035 to .150 inch) thick.
It has a 610 mm (24 inch) load
area.
The optional MACvac Feeder is
a vacuum grid feeder. It has rollabout convenience. When
cleaning the paster, roll the
MACvac Feeder away to avoid
“slurry” water damaging the
feeder components. The
MACvac Feeder can process
grids from 0.9 mm to 2.4 mm
(0.35 to .150 inch) thick.
Its load/storage area is 914 mm
(36 inches) long. Its top speed is
170 panels a minute.
The optional optaMAC Feeder’s
914.40 mm (36 inch) long
loading and storage area allows
longer time between loading
intervals. Like the MACvac
Feeder, the optaMAC Feeder is
easily detached from the paster
so it can be rolled out of the way
during paster cleaning. It can
process grids from 0.9 to 3.8
mm (.035 to .150 inch) thick.
