Measuring Rod

The metering rod is a metal cylindrical rod in coating equipment that controls the transfer amount of coating through the gap between the rod and the substrate. Its working principle involves the rod rotating to pick up a specific amount of coating, which then forms a uniform film upon contact with the substrate. It is used for precise coating of materials such as paper and plastic films, allowing adjustment of the coating thickness within a range of 1–50 micrometers.
Selection
When selecting a metering rod, it is essential to consider the substrate material and width, coating thickness requirements, and the viscosity characteristics of the coating. The rod diameter should match the equipment space, and the rod material must have corrosion resistance suitable for the coating composition. Surface roughness also affects the uniformity of the coating. Refer to existing equipment parameters and recommendations from coating suppliers for selection.
