The technology, explained
Roller coating for a glass-finishing workflow.
01 — OVERVIEWThe Roller Coating Machine is listed in APL’s glass-machinery range for applying a surface coating through a roller-based process. The RC 30 and RC 40 reference models list working widths of 750 and 1,000 mm.
APL also describes paper and other substrate applications, so the roller arrangement and coating chemistry must be selected specifically for the glass job. An air-knife arrangement is described as an option. Discuss coating deposit, glass thickness, handling and the required downstream cure with APL.

Explore the capabilities that shape this machine’s role on your production floor.
Roller application
Transfer the coating through the machine’s roller arrangement.
Optional air knife
Discuss the source-listed air-knife arrangement for the intended application.
Glass-specific selection
Match coating chemistry, roller setup and handling to the glass rather than assuming one configuration suits every material.
Product configuration
| Model | Size | Power | Air compressor |
|---|---|---|---|
| RC 30 | 750MM | 1 HP | 5 HP |
| RC 40 | 1000 MM | 2 HP | 10 HP |
Published output figures refer to reference configurations. Actual results depend on material, artwork, process settings and selected options.
