Board Coating & Laminating

Davis Standard’s Converting Systems Group combines the best design features of the Black Clawson, Egan and ER-WE-PA product lines to provide the industry’s premier technology. These namesakes are the gold standard in the paper coating business as proven by a long and successful track record and board coating installations all over the globe.  

Our unwind and winder sections are shaftless turret designs. Winders are supplied in the single drum horizontal rail style. For loading and unloading large paper rolls, we can easily integrate existing material handling processes. Dual direction splicing and transfers are available on turrets for flexibility to run in multiple modes. In- line slitting (governed by core and finished roll diameter and weight) can enable converters to ship right off the extrusion line.

Our liquid coating group supplies the latest in adhesion enhancing priming, logo printing and web drying. We have relationships with all of the major vendors of flame treaters, making it possible to seamlessly integrate their units into our board extrusion coating and laminating lines. For high speed lines, ozone can be introduced immediately into the lamination nip. For applications where foil or film substrates are laminated to the board, high speed foil unwinds are capable of splicing 5-9 micron (0.002-0.0035 inch) to maintain process speed.

Davis Standard’s superior screw designs are utilized to deliver the best melt quality to the feedblock for complex coextrusion applications. Accurate, repeatable nip performance is achieved with either a linear acting or pivoting motion rubber roller that comes into contact with the laminating drum via recipe stored pressures and PLC controlled valves. Both hydraulic and pneumatic systems are available. High pressure nips for specialized applications ensure mechanical adhesion at lower coating weights. Overall line control is available with either the Integrator or Exact control system.
