New Kohler equipment installed and running on a Fosber Quantum built for what the European market is moving toward next.
As plastic and wax replacements accelerate across Europe, this system was designed around paper-based, food-grade barrier coatings that demand control.
The configuration:
- WaterDeck on the medium liner to stabilize moisture before bonding
- HY90 Rod Coater (WaterDeck / Rod Coater) on the liner for precise, repeatable barrier application.
- Dual AirBars on the coater section to deliver increased coating speeds.
What this enables:
- Consistent bonding on coated and uncoated structures
- Reduced starch usage despite barrier coatings
- Lower post-warp and flatter finished board
- Flexibility to run barrier, functionals, and color coatings
- Consist paper moisture content on all part grades
- Faster speeds across all paper grades
Process stability, moisture control, and coating accuracy the fundamentals required to replace plastic and wax with functional paper solutions at scale.
