the flat sheet of metal as it passes through.
Step 3 ?
Warm up the coating by transferring the metal
sheet to an oven.

Roll coating process followed at Melrose

• Melrose nameplates undergo direct and reverse
  roll coating to ensure durability and color
  depths of the metal surface.
• Direct Coating
• In the direct roll coating, the applicator roll
  rotates in the same direction as the substrate
  moves.
• Now, lets see how reverse roll coating works.
