Coating Wire Rod Applicator

The wire-wound rod Coater transfers coating material via a steel rod wrapped with metal wire, where the wire diameter determines the wet film thickness. It is used in laboratories to simulate the blade coating process for preparing test coatings on paper or film substrates. During operation, it is drawn smoothly across the substrate, with the grooves between the wires forming a uniform wet film.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate roughness to match the wire diameter specifications; choose a thicker wire diameter for high-viscosity coatings. Stainless steel material resists solvent corrosion, and the wire winding must be uniform without overlap. The application scenario determines the rod length, with a conventional laboratory typically using a length range of 150–300 mm.
