It’s not just about the coating or the laminating process, we can build the entire production line, from unwinding and rewinding, drying and cooling units, and integrate all functions to work seamlessly together. We also retrofit existing web coating and laminating lines with new machine components, upgrading existing components, and upgrading drive and control systems to add new features that expand the laminating or coating lines’ capabilities.

Advanced Coating & Lamination Expertise

Coating and lamination processes require the perfect balance of chemistry, tension control, and process capability. MWES applies a product-process integration approach—aligning coating formulations, web handling mechanics, and drying parameters—to ensure each layer is applied evenly and adheres with precision. Whether your application involves solvent, emulsion, or hot-melt coatings, MWES systems deliver repeatable quality and optimized throughput.

MWES customizes coating and laminating lines to fit your material properties and production goals, with capabilities that include:

  • Slot-Die, Knife-Over-Roll, and Gravure Coating Systems
  • Thermal, Solvent, and Pressure Lamination
  • Integrated Web Handling for Tension and Alignment Control
  • Closed-Loop Control for Consistent Coating Weight
  • Drying and Curing Solutions for Fast, Even Results
  • Modular Designs for Process Scalability and Easy Maintenance

From adhesive-backed films to high-strength laminates, MWES delivers the precision engineering and integrated controls needed to produce consistent, defect-free products at scale. Contact us to transform your coating and laminating process into a competitive advantage.
