Coating and laminating of web shaped layers with hotmelt adhesives traces back to 1990. CAVITEC is the forerunner in this technology, with over 80 machines sold and successfully in operation in many parts of the world. CAVITEC is clearly the market leader in this technology, with over 3 decades of experience. Hotmelt lamination is cheaper than powder scatter lamination, as the polymers are cheaper than thermoplastic powders, and the production speed is significantly higher.
CAVIMELT (LAB VERSION)
The TSM machine is a small scale hotmelt coating and laminating machine with engraved roll coating system. It has unwinds for the 2 webs to be laminated and a rewinds for the laminate.
This small machine is ideally suitable for
- laboratory trials
- production of samples
- training, education
- production, if the fabric width is small
Machine Specifications:
Working Width: 500 mm
Working Speed: 5 - 15 m/min
Dimensions: 2000 x 1650 x 1500 mm
Adhesives: Thermoplastic Hotmelt, Reactive PU Hotmelt.

Hotmelt coating with rotogravure roll on web substrates
Combinations of PU-foam with fabric, for the automotive or upholstery industries, or combinations of breathable membranes with nonwoven for interlining of functional and outdoor clothing are typical applications.
Hotmelt lamination is cheaper than powder scatter lamination, as the polymers are cheaper than thermoplastic powders, and the production speed is significantly higher.
There are no solvents and no water
used in hotmelt lamination:
• No drying needed
• Lower energy consumption
• Ecological, no exhaust air cleaning required
• No significant heat energy on the material
CAVITEC - Hotmelt Technologies - Rear Side
Hotmelt lamination is better than flame lamination:
• Thinner PU foams can be used
• Better fogging values, no odor emissions in the car interior
• Better color uniformity of the textile
• Ecological, no exhaust air cleaning required
