MetalCoat 483

The new star of the coating world

As the most modern coating machine on the market, the MetalCoat 483 meets the highest conceivable demands in terms of quality and productivity. With its newly developed three-roller coating application system, the MetalCoat 483 rises to every challenge. Both problematic coatings and demanding substrate qualities are handled reliably and at high speeds.


High-end – also for coating

Dedicated drives, touchpanels with memory function, laser-assisted machine make-ready: These and other cutting-edge technologies are now also available for the coating of metal sheets. The MetalCoat 483 makes no compromises when it comes to the implementation of modern technologies – it is the fastest, most modern and most productive coating machine in the world.

Innovative solutions of the MetalCoat 483:

  • VacuMatic sheet infeed for exact sheet alignment
  • Maximum coating precision thanks to dedicated drive technology
  • Laser-assisted cylinder positioning
  • Quick-change kit for fastest possible coating changes

Product Information

Dedicated drives for perfect coating results

The use of dedicated drives in the coating unit provides for absolute precision in the coating process. The speed of the coating cylinder is calculated on the basis of the measured cylinder circumference; a pneumatic clutch is no longer necessary. Even the tiniest variations in circumference are detected and compensated.
This precision yields perfect coating results, especially for spot coating or coating on thin metal sheets down to 0.100 mm.

Up to 25% faster makeready

The MetalCoat 483 incorporates numerous innovative and practice-proven features geared to makeready savings.
The coating roller possesses a pneumatic clutch, which significantly reduces changeover times. All job-relevant parameters are saved in a job memory and can be recalled with just a few commands in case of repeat jobs. For new jobs, laser-assisted positioning of the start of coating and format setting by way of a digital display simplify the makeready process enormously. Even fully automatic format setting is available as an option.
And if that is still not enough, the MetalCoat 483 can be configured with a “quick-change kit”, which enables all components which come into contact with the coating to be removed with just a few simple steps for cleaning outside the machine.

Process-optimised coating application systems

The use of different coating systems, for example BPA-free coatings, places great demands on any coating system. For this reason, the MetalCoat 483 features a new three-roller coating system which has been optimised specifically for the use of BPA-free coatings. Even so, it can still be taken for granted that conventional or water-based coatings are processed with maximum precision and without any limitations whatsoever.
