Converting Equipment

How is converting equipment used?

Typical converting processes are coating, laminating, printing and bag machines. Coating technologies can include hot melt coating, gravure coating, curtain coating and slot die coating. The most common printing techniques are flexo printing and rotogravure (gravure) printing. Both print processes are suited to high speed roll to roll processing.

Materials such as paper, plastic film, foil and cloth often are produced in long, continuous sheets that are rolled up for more-convenient handling and transportation.
For example, a converter’s equipment might take a web of plastic film, cut it into lengths, and fuse their edges, thus converting it into plastic bags. This activity is known as web processing.

Auxiliary Equipment

During the converting operation moving web of material has a tendency to track off course and wander out of alignment, therefore web alignment concerns need to be addressed. To avoid these problems, engineers have developed a variety of automatic web-guiding systems that assure production accuracy and reduce waste. Web-guiding systems typically are positioned just before a critical stage on a converting machine (for example, just before a print station on a printing press).
