Product Overview


This lab-scale film applicator delivers precise, reproducible wet film deposition across flat substrates, providing an indispensable tool for advanced surface coating evaluation. Engineered with dual high-precision micrometer heads, the equipment allows researchers to fine-tune the doctor blade clearance with micro-meter resolution, ensuring uniform slurry distribution for sensitive analytical and experimental workflows.
Primarily utilized in battery research and development, this system excels at casting cathode and anode electrode slurries, solid-state electrolyte membranes, ceramic tapes, crystal films, and specialized functional nanocoatings. Its versatile design accommodates diverse fluid viscosities, enabling seamless transition between aqueous suspensions, organic pastes, and complex polymeric formulations across academic, industrial, and pilot-line laboratory environments.
Constructed from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant alloys, the equipment guarantees exceptional dimensional stability and long-term durability under demanding chemical and mechanical operational conditions. Its geometrically optimized profile and compact footprint ensure effortless handling, rapid setup, and consistent, high-accuracy film casting during repetitive testing protocols.
Key Features
- Dual Precision Micrometer Gap Control: Integrated twin micrometer heads enable independent yet synchronized vertical adjustment of the coating blade, allowing operators to set the precise gap clearance from 0 to 3500 µm with an accurate 10 µm scale resolution.
- Corrosion-Resistant Structural Alloys: Manufactured from premium-grade stainless and treated metal components, the applicator resists aggressive chemical solvents, acidic slurries, and organic additives to maintain structural integrity and extend service life.
- Broad Wet Thickness Clearance Range: Offering an expansive adjustment range up to 3500 µm, this unit accommodates extremely thin nanometer-scale film preparation as well as thick viscous slurry coatings within a single versatile device.
- Geometrically Optimized Fluid Channeling: Designed with a refined structural geometry, the doctor blade frame prevents slurry leakage while facilitating smooth, friction-free movement across glass, foil, or polymer substrates.
- Simplified Zero-Point Calibration Protocol: Features an intuitive dual-screw locking mechanism that allows operators to rapidly recalibrate zero-point alignment against a reference flat plate, ensuring consistent baseline precision before every coating run.
- Compact and Ergonomic Form Factor: The low-profile, lightweight engineering permits effortless handheld operation or automated doctor-blade integration, making it ideal for cleanroom benches, gloveboxes, and compact laboratory hoods.
- High-Uniformity Edge-to-Edge Metering: The precision-ground blade edge provides uniform shear force along the entire 100mm coating width, eliminating edge pooling and film thickness variations across the sample surface.
Applications
| Application | Description | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Electrode Slurry Coating | Deposition of lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state battery slurry onto copper and aluminum current collector foils. | Ensures highly uniform mass loading and film thickness, preventing localized hot spots and improving electrochemical cell performance testing. |
| Advanced Ceramic Tape Casting | Spreading functional ceramic slurries and dielectric green tapes for multi-layer capacitor and substrate fabrication. | Delivers consistent doctor blade clearance to eliminate voids, pinholes, and density variations in sintered ceramic layers. |
| Functional Nanofilm & Optical Coatings | Applying precision nanometer-scale functional coatings, sol-gel mixtures, and thin protective films on specialized glass or silicon wafers. | Enables micro-meter level thickness tuning (10 µm step resolution) required for strict optical transmission and surface energy research. |
| Semiconductor & Crystal Film Research | Casting precursor solutions and organic semiconductor pastes onto rigid and flexible crystal substrates. | High chemical resistance prevents contamination, maintaining pure chemical integrity across sensitive electronic thin-film studies. |
| Polymer Membrane & Conductive Paste R&D | Spreading polymeric electrolyte membranes, conductive inks, and adhesive coatings across flexible substrates. | Smooth geometric flow design prevents slurry drag and streak formation, ensuring defect-free membrane casting across variable viscosities. |

Operational & Calibration Procedures
| Step Procedure | Operational Guidelines & Technical Control |
|---|---|
| Material Application | Position the applicator onto the target substrate, load the prepared coating slurry into the reservoir frame, and draw the device forward at a constant speed to allow slurry extrusion through the calibrated blade gap. |
| Thickness Adjustment | Adjust the two top micrometer heads evenly to raise or lower the scraper blade. Each graduation tick corresponds to exactly 10 µm of height variance, controlling final wet film thickness. |
| Zero-Position Calibration | Place the unit onto an ultra-flat reference plate, loosen the two micrometer locking screws, reset both digital/graduated scale readouts to zero, apply firm downward pressure with both hands to seat the blade flush against the plate, tighten both locking screws, and verify scraping accuracy. |
