The LW120 roller coater is an easy-to-clean compact machine and is often used as a Glue applicator orr Oil application machinefor one or two-sided application. The LW120 is used for roller application of liquid media such as glues, oils, glazes, primers, synthetic resins and adhesives on flat substrates such as wood, cardboard, PS and XPS rigid foam boards, metal parts, brake linings, cork floors, insulation boards, . . .
The roller coater LW120 at a glance:
As an easy-to-clean compact machine that can be quickly dismantled, the LW120 roller coater is a convincing, universally applicable unit for coating a wide variety of application media. It impresses above all with its simple handling, durable and robust construction, as well as its efficient application of liquid and paste-like coating media. The LW120 roller coater from Axel Wirth Maschinen GmbH is a powerful and economically outstanding solution for a wide range of requirements as a glue coater or adhesive application system.
Almost all flat substrates can be coated on the LW120. For example, this machine type is used as an oil applicator and, in conjunction with the Distributor unit VE from Wirth can be found as interlinked equipment in oil application lines. Due to the easy handling, materials such as glues, oils, dispersions, paints, adhesives, synthetic resin adhesives, but also lacquers, waxes, soaps, primers, pastes and pasty adhesives, resins and contact adhesives can be applied without any problems on roller applicators of the type LW120.
Customers who use the LW120 roller coater come from the production of raised floors (sports halls), vehicle construction, the packaging industry, insulation production and further processing. The substrates to be coated are, for example, multi-layer boards, cork, wood, chipboard, solid wood, PS and XPS rigid foam boards, wood-cement composite insulation boards, metal parts, tiles and stoneware, but also brake linings for cars and trucks and much more.
The LW120 roller applicator is used for one-sided application (top, bottom), or also for two-sided application. The infinitely variable fine adjustment of the liquid application quantity by means of the eccentric levers on the side is uncomplicated and easy to handle. Depending on the application, the LW120 roller coater can be equipped with a wide variety of roller types and roller rubbers. In just a few steps and without any special tools, both the tray with the squeegee edge and the rollers can be removed in a matter of moments thanks to the practical plug-in axles with bayonet lock. This way, all parts can be cleaned easily and quickly.
If you want to minimise set-up times, you can also use a second set of rollers and a trough to make this applicator immediately ready for use again and thus avoid downtimes due to cleaning effort during ongoing shift operation.
All parts (except the drive) are made of high-quality, non-rusting materials to ensure a long service life.

The glue applicators are suitable for the application of cold liquid glue and adhesive, such as dispersion adhesive, white glue, veneer glue, PVAC-glue, Kaurit, Latex, urea resin glue, synthetic resin, Melamine resin, powder glue soluble in water with/without hardener. For the most part the tools are cleaned with water.
This is different for Polyurethane adhesives, PUR, PU, 1KPU, 2KPU, two component glues. These adhesives are to be cleaned with a certain cleansing agent. The kind of rubber on the glue roller is determined as agreed upon.
Wirth covers each of the glue rollers in such a way that they are resistant to the cleansing agent / solvent. The high-quality steel parts represent a special advantage. For cleaning, remove in next to no time the rollers and the glue basin of the compact machine and clean them in the cleansing bath. Dry up the parts and put them back without tools into the machine. The glue waste deposits on the bottom of the bath and the cleansing agent can be reused.
Glue application can be from one side or two sides.
Axel Wirth Maschinen GmbH supplies besides the classical wood working industry also machines for adhesion of brakes, couplings, foam components, coolers, belts, cardboard and packaging industry…..
