TOPMET HIRES™

Roll-to-roll coating system for high volume

metallized thin film flexible packaging applications

BENEFITS DESCRIPTION

• Increases production and efficiency TopMET HIRES™ is designed for very high volume metallized
• Improves product quality flexible packaging applications. It offers the same quality and
• Easy maintenance reduces downtime flexibility as TopMet but with higher coating speed and a larger
• Lowers operating costs width.
• Reduces waste
Increased Throughput
While the standard TopMet offers coating speeds up to 14 m/s,
FEATURES the TopMet HIRES high rate evaporator increases coating
speeds up to 20 m/s and extends substrate width up to 4.45 m.
• Highest rate vacuum metallizer with
coating speeds up to 20 m/s
• At the coating speed up to 20 m/s, the TopMet HIRES high-
• Industry-leading scale for substrate rate thermal evaporator provides thickness uniformity better
width up to 4.45 m
than ±5% and increases boat life.
• Coats a wide variety of substrates:
polymer, paper and biodegradable films • Available with the TopMet HIRES is the advanced substrate
• Optimizes power control for extended cooling during coating. This feature enables higher production
evaporator boat lifetime and improves speeds on heat sensitive substrates.
coating quality • Optional TreatMag® substrate pre-treatment system, an
• Patented in-line control system reliably Applied Materials innovation that improves layer adhesion
processes optically uniform barrier layers and barrier properties.
• Substrate winding with adjustable
spreader roller and options for edge
control and oscillating rewinder
• Advanced substrate cooling for heat
sensitive substrates
• Machine control system with ”Film Save”
function, data logging/evaluation/
reports
