Flexo & Gravure Coating Equipment

Retroflex designs and builds both standard and fully customized gravure coating systems engineered for operating speeds up to 3,750 fpm and web widths ranging from 10 to 150 inches. Available in single- or dual-side configurations, these systems support direct gravure, offset gravure, kiss coating, and flexographic coating methods — delivering precise, repeatable fluid application across a broad range of substrates.

Advanced reverse-angle and trailing doctor blade assemblies, along with fountain-style fluid metering systems, provide exceptional coating weight control for virtually any formulation. For temperature-sensitive applications, temperature-controlled rolls and doctor blade systems ensure consistent performance when applying waxes (wet or dry), lotions, antibacterial treatments, and other specialty coatings.

Engineered for precision, speed, and versatility, our gravure coating systems are designed to deliver consistent fluid application across a wide range of substrates and specialty coatings. From high-speed production environments to temperature-sensitive applications, these systems provide advanced control over coating weight, tension, and thermal management.

With modular configurations and industry-proven components, each machine is built to maximize uptime, product quality, and long-term operational efficiency.
