Ink Metering Rod Film Applicator

The ink metering rod Coater applies a uniform coating by rolling a precision metal rod across the substrate surface to control ink transfer thickness. It is used in laboratories to simulate printing processes and test ink properties such as adhesion and opacity. Suitable for coating process development on materials like paper and film.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the rod material to the substrate type, determine the rod diameter specification based on the coating thickness requirement, and choose the surface treatment method in conjunction with ink viscosity. Note that the equipment must have speed adjustment and temperature control functions to meet the testing requirements of different drying conditions.

How to choose a laboratory coater? Which one should you buy: wire bar, scraper, or slot die?
This article introduces three methods for selecting laboratory coating machines: wire bar coating is suitable for low-viscosity coatings, offering low cost and simple operation; blade coating is ideal for medium-to-high viscosity slurries or those containing particles, with a wide range of film thickness control; slot-die coating provides the highest precision and is suitable for high-end applications such as electronic films.
Comparison of Coating Accuracy between Laboratory Blade Coater and Slot Die Coater
