The Tech Inc. Automatic Film Coater with Heated Vacuum Bed draws an applicator blade across a substrate at a set speed, so polymer solutions and electrode slurries are spread into films of even thickness. The vacuum bed holds the substrate flat, and the heated bed and cover dry the film in place. It serves membrane laboratories and battery laboratories with the same machine.

Main components

Perforated vacuum bed with vacuum pump to hold films and foils flat
Bed heater with temperature controller
Motorised carriage with adjustable coating speed and stroke
Adjustable film applicator (doctor blade), with micrometer gap setting
Hinged drying cover
Touch-panel or keypad control on a benchtop frame

Applications: flat sheet membrane casting, battery electrode coating, separator and coating research, and thin-film work in university and industry laboratories.

Automatic Film Coater with Heated Vacuum Bed

Standard coater – vacuum bed, heater and motorised applicator.

Coater with drying cover – adds a heated cover for drying in place.

Wide-bed version – larger bed for wider membranes and electrodes.

Glove box version – compact frame for use inside a glove box.
Coating width: to client specification

Stroke: to client specification

Coating speed: adjustable; range to client specification

Bed temperature: ambient to the specified drying temperature

Applicators: fixed-gap and adjustable micrometer applicators
Repeatable films – constant speed and gap give even thickness from film to film.

Flat substrates – the vacuum bed holds foils and glass plates flat.

Dry in place – heated bed and cover dry the film without moving it.

One machine, two fields – casts membranes and coats battery electrodes.
