Surface Roughness of Rollers
Surface roughness plays an important role in determining surface COF (Coefficient of Friction), wear and release properties. The coefficient of friction often symbolized by the Greek letter µ, is a dimensionless scalar value which describes the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the force pressing them together.

Methods and Design Considerations for the Application of Hot Melt Coatings
- Written by New Era Converting Machinery’s Tom Lombardo and Bob Pasquale.
As the use of hot melt coatings continues to grow and evolve so too have the operating parameters and requirements for applying these coatings. This article covers several of the coating methods currently used to apply hot melts, including a review of the typical operating parameters and conditions for each method. as well as the associated advantages or disadvantages. Additionally, we discuss the critical features that should be incorporated into the design of the application system. Though we touch upon the systems that are used to melt and deliver the hot melts to the coater, we do not cover them in any detail.
