Rod Drawdown Coater

The drawdown rod Coater applies an even wet film on the substrate by rolling a cylindrical rod across its surface. The rod is engraved with grooves to control coating thickness, making it suitable for laboratory simulations of coating processes to test the leveling and hiding power of coatings. It is widely used for quality control in industries such as inks and paper.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type and size to match the coating width. The coating thickness range corresponds to the rod number specification. Choose between manual or electric based on the frequency of use. Select stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Additional features, such as heating plates, should be configured according to sample requirements.
