Solvent-Free PU Coating Machine | Synthetic Leather

Two-component solvent-free reaction coating with material degassing, dynamic mixing and reverse-roll application; water-borne modules use a separate process configuration.

Eco-Friendly Synthetic Leather Manufacturing

Precision Reaction Coating for 100% Solids Solvent-Free Leather

Two-component solvent-free reaction coating with material degassing, dynamic mixing and reverse-roll application; water-borne modules use a separate process configuration.

The HF-SFL180-2K is described in the supplied equipment brief as a two-component solvent-free PU reaction coating and lamination system. Its vacuum-conditioning, dynamic-mixing and reverse-roll stages are configured for the chosen resin and substrate.

The specified web width, coating thickness and line speed are configuration references. Finished-leather VOC, odor, adhesion and durability performance require material-specific testing. A water-borne process uses a separate chemistry and drying configuration.

Material Flow and Working Principle

Vacuum Degassing & Thermal Pre-Conditioning

Component A (Polyol) and Component B (Isocyanate prepolymer) undergo continuous thin-film vacuum degassing below 0.1 kPa to remove entrained air and are heated to 45–60°C to stabilize viscosities.

Synchronized Servo Metering

High-precision servo-driven gear pumps measure the two reactive streams into the mixing head, with Coriolis mass flow meters ensuring mix ratio tolerances remain within ±0.3%.

High-Shear Bubble-Free Dynamic Mixing

The components enter a water-jacketed dynamic mixing chamber equipped with a micro-pin rotor operating at 1,500 to 4,000 RPM, achieving instantaneous homogenization without air entrainment or excessive exotherm.

Micron-Precision Reverse Roll Coating

The mixed resin is metered between precision-ground chrome rollers and transferred onto release paper or base substrate at thicknesses between 0.05 and 0.30 mm, maintaining a cross-web profile variance of less than 2 µm.

Tension-Controlled Lamination & Thermal Curing

The coated film is bonded to the textile base via pneumatic nip rolls and transported through a short infrared/convection curing oven for accelerated crosslinking and final winding.

Key Equipment Features

The package covers two-component metering and mixing, a reverse-roll coating interface, material conditioning and controls for the solvent-free route. Water-borne mechanical foaming is a separate process module. Conveying and unwinding are optional; chemistry, release paper, water and power are agreed external interfaces.

Solvent-Free Reaction Coating

The selected reactive formulation avoids the conventional solvent carrier; finished-product VOC and odor results require testing.

Precision Reverse-Roll Application

The specified three-roll station controls wet-film thickness across the working web.

Material Degassing

Vacuum conditioning and dynamic mixing control entrained air for the selected resin viscosity.

Process-Specific Curing

The curing section is matched to the reactive coating; comparative energy use depends on the baseline and operating conditions.

Planning questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the machine prevent air entrapment in high-viscosity solvent-free resins?
It combines continuous thin-film vacuum degassing below 0.1 kPa with a high-shear micro-pin dynamic mixing head.
Can the coating thickness be maintained uniformly across wide web widths?
Yes, precision-ground chrome rollers and servo micro-gap drives maintain thickness tolerances within ±2 µm up to 1,600 mm.
What are the environmental advantages over traditional wet-process DMF lines?
The solvent-free route uses the selected reactive formulation; the water-borne route has separate chemistry and drying requirements. VOC, odor and finished-leather performance must be evaluated for the full material system and the customer test conditions. The supplied brief does not include original certification or test reports.
How does the system adapt to changes in production line speed?
Servo drives dynamically sync metering pump displacement to roller line speed, preventing coat weight variations during ramps.
