• Slot die head fixtures with coating widths of 50mm and 100 mm are available in the product options bar

   

Syringe Pump

• Digital Controlled Infusion Syringe Pump and connection pipe are included
• Displays total volume dispensed in mL or µL units
• The maximum pumping rate of 25 mL/hr with a 60 mL syringe
• Precise reproducible flow rates
• Selectable infusion rates units: mL/hr, µL/hr, mL/min, µL/min
• Click the picture left to see detailed specs.

Micrometer Head

• One micrometer head is a built-in travel rod of the coater to adjust the gap between slot die and substrate
• A digital micrometer head is available as an option at an extra cost        

         

• Travel Speed: 0 - 80mm/sec variable
• Travel distance: 0 - 400 mm adjustable

Heated Vacuum Bed

• Pic.1 and 2 show coated cathode and anode for Li-Ion batteries.
• It is recommended to operate the coater under a fume hood. 
• May need a vacuum mixer to remove air bubbles inside slurry to make uniform coatings 
• You may need a Slurry Viscosity Tester to make coatings consistent

• CE certified
• NRTL or CSA certification is available upon request at the extra cost

• Coating thickness is not dependent on or equal to the gap between the slot die head and substrate. 
• Usually, the gap shall be larger than the coating thickness. Coated thickness is strongly dependent on slurry viscosity, coating speed, and flow speed. ( Lower viscosity, low flow rate, and low speed will result in a thinner film Please practice finding the best parameters which suitable for you
• Example 5% carbon+ polymer, viscosity: 500mPa·s, substrate: Al foil of 16 um,
• Gap: 200 um, Slurry feeding rate:: 0.1 ml/minute , Coating speed: 12mm/s
• Coated film thickness: 10 um +/- 2 um
