TOPMET®

Proven, durable roll-to-roll system for metallized thin-film flexible packaging

DESCRIPTION

Excellence in Engineering and Proven Experience With a coating speed of up to 20 meters per second, unparalleled productivity and winner of numerous design awards, the TopMet represents true excellence in engineering. Applied Materials’ WEB Coating Products, with 50+ years of experience and over 625 systems installed worldwide, is the market leader of roll-to-roll vacuum coating and metallizing solutions.

Increase Your ThroughputTopMet offers two innovative thermal evaporation units:

• Patented staggered boat design for high-quality layer deposition with coating speeds up to 14 m/s and a thickness uniformity of ±5%.

• HIRES high-rate evaporator for coating substrate widths up to 4.45 m and coating speed up to 20 m/s, provides thickness uniformity better than ± 5% and increases boat life.

BENEFITS

• Improves product quality

• Increases production efficiency

• Easy maintenance reduces downtime

• Lowers operating costs

• Reduces waste

FEATURES

• Vacuum metallizer with proven technology combining highest flexibility, productivity and quality

• Works with a wide variety of substrates, including biodegradable films

• Optimized power control for extended evaporator boat lifetime and improved coating quality

• Patented in-line control system reliably processes optically uniform barrier layers

• Substrate pre-treatment with TreatMag™ for improved layer adhesion and barrier properties

• Layer measurement/control system for optical density up to 4, even on opaque substrates

• Substrate winding with adjustable spreader roller and options for edge control and oscillating rewinder

• Machine control system with “Film Save” function, data logging/evaluation/reports
