Slot die coating

You can use this facility to test alternative fluid formulations, coating/substrate combinations, and other parameters without tying up your own equipment or using large quantities of raw materials. Practitioners of roll coating can explore the advantages of slot die coating before investing in a commercial-scale system.

We offer two slot-die alternatives: Ultracoat® II or V adjustable-lip coating heads with support system and a range of lip inserts; or WetWare™, a complete trial-size coating module incorporating a Liberty® fixed-lip coating head. Our coating line accommodates substrates with a maximum width of 12 in. (300 mm) and rolls with nominal 3-in. (75 mm) ID cores, maximum unwound diameters of 12 in. (300 mm), and maximum rewound diameters of 14 in. (350 mm). Other components include four different fluid pumps, a polished chrome-plated steel backing roll, and three hot air dryers.
