The roller application process has many advantages (more…)

Finishing of surfaces with rollable media such as lyes, stains or paints.

In order to refine the wood surface, rolling lyes, stains, reaction stains or water-based paints are often used for special colouring. This achieves colour effects that are not possible with oils alone.

The application is usually done with a foam rubber roller. After application, the medium usually has to be dispersed. Various devices from our range of machines are available for this purpose.

Depending on the application medium, the woods are dried in a tray trolley.

In the case of pure emulsion paints, drying can also be done mechanically in a continuous process.

Suitable for lyes, stains and paints are the Roller coaters,  Typ LW, DWO und DDWO

Axel Wirth Maschinen GmbH have been producing roller applicators since 1986.

The most important tool is here, of course, the application roller. In close cooperation with a roller coating company, rubber surfaces have been developed during many years. Supported by the unique quick dismounting system of the roller applicator, the customer gets a variety of tools and possibilies in his hand. The customer can apply glue, oil, lacquer, stain, lye with a machine thanks to the use of different rollers.

Since "Wirth" roller applicators are often placed beside large scale plants, in order to be able to produce
also special orders, more and more customers contact us and want to use these application rollers of the
"Wirth"-machines also in their large scale plants.
Correspondingly, we now offer also the coating of rollers which customers can also install in other machines than the "Wirth" ones.

Following dimensions are possible:

up to a total length of 6,000 mm
up to a diameter of 850 mm
up to a a total weight of 2.5 tons

The "Wirth" disk roller conveyors consist of a tray in stainless steel
with retainers for up to 7 axles.

On these axles, disks in stainless steel are mounted.

Those disks offer a minimum contact surface after the glue application, so that most of the glue quantity applied stays on the work piece during transport.

After work, disks can easily be removed.

It is also possible to connect several disk roller conveyors continuously.
