The new coating unit is installed in the Montex tenter’s rail-mounted inlet platform.
Coating chemicals are prepared in a mobile foam generator/mixer next to the platform and
transferred through an applicator across the coating device, which applies the coating evenly to
the fabric. A wider coating device also is available.
