Automatic Coating Film Drying Machine Lithium Battery Laboratory Coating Machine

Product Overview

This automatic coating film drying machine combines continuous film coating and heated drying in one compact laboratory system. Its 800 mm coating travel, vacuum aluminum plate, oil-free vacuum pump, adjustable scraper, and automatic propulsion mechanism support smooth, uniform coatings on a wide range of substrates. The equipment is designed for researchers who need controlled electrode preparation without the cost or footprint of larger production coating lines.

The system is particularly suitable for lithium battery laboratory coating, including the preparation of electrode materials for 18650 battery research. It also supports slurry coating studies, thick-film development, and process evaluation in materials science, powder metallurgy, ceramics, and academic laboratories. The 300 mm standard coating width provides a practical working area for small-batch experimentation.

Strong air-circulation heating, digital temperature control, and a programmable drying timer help researchers establish repeatable coating and drying conditions. A rigid sheet-metal enclosure with a compact geometric design supports organized laboratory installation, while the vacuum holding surface helps keep substrates stable during coating.

Key Features

• Automatic Coating Propulsion: The integrated propulsion mechanism moves the coating head automatically, reducing manual variation during each coating pass and supporting repeatable laboratory process development.

• Extended 800 mm Coating Travel: The adjustable travel range from 0 to 800 mm enables long coated sections and provides flexibility for both short experimental samples and extended electrode studies.

• 300 mm Standard Coating Width: The supplied coating applicator has a 300 mm width, providing a useful working area for lithium battery electrode development and other laboratory film-coating processes.

• Adjustable Coating Speed: Coating speed can be set from 0 to 120 mm per second. This broad adjustment range allows users to study the effect of process speed on slurry distribution, wet-film formation, and coating consistency.

• Vacuum Aluminum Holding Plate: The vacuum aluminum flat plate uses an oil-free vacuum pump to hold substrates securely during coating. Rapid substrate placement and removal help streamline repeated experimental runs.

• Precision Scraper Adjustment: The supplied scraper provides a 0 to 3.5 mm adjustment range for controlling coating thickness. Careful, symmetrical adjustment supports more consistent wet-film preparation.

• Controlled Heated Drying: Strong air-circulation heating operates from room temperature to 130°C. The digital temperature controller gives operators direct visibility of the drying setpoint during electrode and materials processing.

• Programmable Drying Time: A digital timer allows drying time to be set according to the selected coating material and process recipe, helping improve repeatability between batches.

• Compact Laboratory Footprint: The compact enclosure measures 1000 mm by 450 mm by 320 mm, making the unit suitable for laboratories where bench and floor space must be managed carefully.

• Robust Fabricated Enclosure: The sheet-metal housing uses a three-dimensional geometric design that combines a refined appearance with a durable structure for regular laboratory operation.

Applications

Technical Specifications

The standard configuration includes a 300 mm coating applicator, vacuum aluminum plate, and one oil-free vacuum pump. The adjustable travel allows the operator to select a coating length between 0 and 800 mm according to the substrate and experimental objective. The vacuum plate dimensions provide the specified holding surface for stable substrate positioning, while the aluminum construction supports rapid placement and removal during repeated trials.

The coating and drying sequence is designed for straightforward laboratory operation. First, place the electrode sheet or other substrate on the vacuum plate, switch on the power, and activate the vacuum so the substrate is held flat. Position the coating applicator on the substrate and add the prepared coating slurry. Start the coating cycle so the automatic mechanism moves the applicator across the selected travel length.

After coating, remove the applicator and push rod, close the heating cover, and set the required drying temperature and time. The strong air-circulation system then dries the coated material under the selected conditions. When drying is complete, open the heating cover, remove the coated electrode or substrate, and return the coating mechanism to its starting position for the next run.

For dependable results, clean the coating head, equipment surfaces, and machine body before each operation with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol. The coating head, micrometer adjuster, and other precision components should be handled carefully and protected from impact. When adjusting the micrometer, make symmetrical and even adjustments on the left and right sides to maintain consistent scraper positioning.

Regular inspection of screws, nuts, pins, and other fasteners is also required. Checking these components periodically helps prevent loosening during operation and reduces the risk of process-quality incidents. Correct cleaning, careful handling, and routine fastener inspection are important for maintaining coating consistency and extending service life.
