Drytac seeks resellers after new VersaCoater XL 80 draws the crowds
Drytac is seeking resellers throughout Europe and beyond following its success at Fespa Digital which saw the first live demonstrations of its improved VersaCoater XL UV liquid coating machine to the European market.
“I was very pleased at the level of interest shown for the VersaCoater XL,” said Jim Tatum, VP of Drytac’s Liquid Division, who attended the show. “The new features truly make this machine unlike any other available on the market and we were able to demonstrate that successfully.”
The VersaCoater XL wide-format UV curable roller coater runs at a process speed up to 33m/min. At Fespa Digital a 100m roll of printed vinyl was coated, cured and wound back onto a core in four minutes using the (optional) roll-to-roll feature during a live demonstration.
A White Kit was introduced and other new features included a perspex see-through front cover with illuminated backlit coating section for improved visibility, a new curing system with split power feature for reduced power consumption, a new curing unit light shield for additional UV light safety (2m wide machine only), and a pneumatically controlled dual blade scraper, putting an end to wet prints on back side.
With the VersaCoater XL at the show having been pre-sold, Steve Broad, sales director for Drytac Europe, is confident of more installs throughout Europe by the end of 2011.
