Precision-Engineered for Rubber-to-Metal Adhesive Applications
Rubber-to-metal bonding requires tight thermal control, consistent motion, and dependable equipment. Our Chain-On-Edge (COE) Conveyor Systems are purpose-built for ChemLok® primer and adhesive lines, delivering repeatable, high-yield performance in demanding environments.

Typical ChemLok Bond Line Layout
Load Station (manual or automatic)
Preheat Oven – 120–200°F, approx. 4 minutes
Primer Application – Spray booth with continuous spindle rotation
Primer Drying Oven – 120–200°F, approx. 2 minutes
Adhesive Application – Spray booth with continuous spindle rotation
Adhesive Drying Oven – 120–200°F, approx. 4 minutes
Unload Station (manual or automatic)
Both primer and adhesive are applied using spindle rotation inside spray booths to ensure full, even coverage. Heating zones can be electric, gas, steam convection, or infrared.
Why Our COE Systems Work So Well for ChemLok
Stable, Wobble-Free Spindle Rotation
Designed to handle heavy, tall, or off-balanced parts with smooth, consistent motion.Also Ideal for Small Parts
Our smaller series conveyors are perfect for small parts, and many users fixture multiple parts per spindle to boost throughput.Flexible Heating Options
Thermal zones support electric, gas, steam convection, or IR heat sources.Manual or Automated Load/Unload
Determined by part design, size, and handling requirements.Continuous or Indexing Operation
Choose continuous running for very high production rates, or indexing mode for optimized fluid transfer, dwell time, and integration with spray automation.Integrated Spray Booths + Coating Equipment
We supply complete spray booths, spray guns, fluid handling systems, and robotic application options using explosion-proof spray robots—engineered for ChemLok compatibility and capable of coating internal diameters (ID), outer diameters (OD), or both.Custom Fixtures and Part Holders
Designed to support consistent coating, masking, and stable part transfer.Compact, Modular Layouts
Fits tight floor plans and scales with your production needs.
Advanced Control Features Built In
Our ChemLok® bond line systems include advanced controls that give your team full command of the process, from production to maintenance:
Variable Production Rates – Adjust conveyor index timing to match line speed
Adjustable Spindle Rotation Speeds – Optimize coating performance for each part
Precision Temperature Controls – Manage heat zones with real-time feedback
Recipe Management System – Store and recall settings for repeatable results
Fault Detection & Alarming – Monitor for chain jams, air loss, over-temp, and more
HMI Maintenance Screens – Diagnose issues, test devices, and check sensor status
Access-Level Control – Operator, Maintenance, and Engineering screens for secure, role-based access
Production History Reporting – View performance by day, hour, or part for quality control and traceability
Part-Present Spray Activation – Post sensors ensure spray guns only fire when a part is properly fixtured
Primer Verification Sensors – Detect and validate that primer has been applied before adhesive coating
All systems are PLC-based and can integrate with your plant’s SCADA or MES platforms.
