Intro

It is a compact UV coating machine designed to add a glossy finish and improved barrier properties to multi layer laminates, through a precise, automated and highly controlled system. It integrates a flexo coating head and thyristor controlled UV lamps, ensuring consistent quality from the first metre onward.

Developed by Narendra Gravure and one of its best sellers, the GravoCoat UV improves the barrier properties and shelf life of paper foil laminates as a reliable, repeatable and job specific solution today.
Advantages

Key features and benefits

01
Flexo coating
Precise varnish transfer

A ceramic anilox roller transfers the UV varnish to the substrate with precise, even control over coat weight across the web.

02
Thyristor UV lamps
Variable intensity control

Thyristor controlled UV lamps give precise control over lamp intensity, curing the varnish cleanly for a glossy, high barrier finish.

03
Compact and low noise
Easy to place and run

A compact, low noise, ergonomic machine that is easy to fit on the floor and gives operators precise control over the UV varnish.

04
Built in house
Made and proven under one roof

Every GravoCoat UV is designed, fabricated, assembled and tested on our own VMC, CNC and grinding machines, so the people who built it support it.

One machine, gloss and barrier in line

GravoCoat UV integrates a flexo coating head, thyristor controlled UV lamps and web handling into a single compact machine, working as a complete system to hold quality across the run.

Complete GravoCoat UV build process

01
Specification and technical definition

The project begins with a detailed specification of the machine from Narendra Gravure’s technical office, in coordination with your production team. At this stage the configuration is matched to your substrates and structures, and the mechanical and electrical drawings for in house manufacturing are generated.

02
Manufacturing

The machine is produced through an in house process focused on precision and quality control. Our VMC, CNC and grinding machines ensure repeatability, reliability and a consistent result, reducing deviations compared with bought in assemblies.

03
Installation

Installation is simple and efficient: the machine is commissioned on your floor through an agile and uncertainty free start up, thanks to prior testing and the preparation of drawings and documentation, contributing to a cleaner and safer route into full production.

GravoCoat UV for your line

It can be integrated into lines developed by third parties. Based on your existing layout, or with support from our technical office, we adapt the machine to slot into your line, ready to install and run.

We analyse the technical fit and define the best way to integrate it, maintaining control over timelines, cost and finished quality.

FAQs
What does GravoCoat UV add to a laminate?

A glossy finish and improved barrier properties that extend the shelf life of paper foil laminates used in food packaging.

What technologies are built into GravoCoat UV?

A flexo head with a ceramic anilox roller and thyristor controlled UV lamps, with SIEMENS electronics and main frames cut from solid 45 mm plate on our own CNC and VMC machines.

How much space does it need?

It is a compact machine with a small footprint, low noise operation and an ergonomic design, easy to place on an existing floor.

Is GravoCoat UV supported after installation?

Yes. It is supported directly by Narendra Gravure after installation, with remote diagnostics, spare parts and the same in house team that designed and built the machine.
