Paper Coating Metering Rod

The paper coating metering rod is a metal rod with graduated markings on its surface, used to control coating thickness by scraping off excess coating. It forms a uniform film on the paper surface to improve printability and appearance. It is commonly used in the coating processes of papers such as coated paper and white cardstock.
Selection
When selecting, consider the base paper grammage and coating viscosity, as the rod diameter is positively correlated with coating thickness. Observe the straightness and surface roughness of the rod; tungsten carbide material offers good wear resistance. Match the production line speed and reserve a 10% operational margin. Regularly inspect the rod for wear and blockages.
