Coating Development & Mixing

• Full Development Lab (lots of toys)
• Mixing (hot, cold, high shear, low shear, and milling)

Converting Capabilities

• 2 – Sheeters, yielding almost any sheet size
• 2 – Computer controlled guillotine cutters for precise trimmed sheets
• 4 – Slitters that can handle a wide variety of materials UP TO 63″ wide and Slit DOWN TO 1/4″ wide
• Slitting methods include razor, score, and shear
• Slitting types include center wind, surface wind, and minimum gap
• Traverse winding of narrow slit materials

Owatonna, Minnesota Factory

Coating Equipment:

• 65″ wide thermal coating/laminating line with 2–cartridge coating heads, flexo back print and a re-moisturizer
• 72″ high speed silicone coating line with back printing
• 63″ gravure coater

Converting Capabilities:

• 4 – Slitters that can handle a wide variety of materials UP TO 72″ wide and Slit DOWN TO 1/4″ wide. (Rayven will commonly slit films, PSA laminations, tapes, coated fabrics, coated mesh, film/foil, papers, and non-wovens.)
• Roll winding machine for inkjet and laminating film rolls from 2″ to 60″ wide
• Slitting methods include razor, score, and shear
• Slitting types include center wind, surface wind, and minimum gap
• Traverse winding of narrow slit materials

Coating Capabilities:

• Release Coating — Silicone and non-silicone. Release coatings are important components of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) products
• Printing — Flood coatings and/or single-color flexography printing
• Corona Treatment — on all coating lines. As a result, the materials treated will demonstrate improved printing and coating quality, and stronger lamination strength
