MSK-AFA-EC350 Lab Scale Roll-to-Roll Flat Tape Casting System with 350mm Width and 3m Convection Drying Heater
The MSK-AFA-EC350 is engineered to facilitate precise roll-to-roll tape casting of slurry materials onto flat film substrates, supporting research and development in fuel cells, battery electrodes, and biological films. This system enables coating thicknesses ranging from 10 microns up to 5 millimeters, accommodating a wide variety of material formulations and thickness requirements. Its maximum coating width is 350mm, with substrate widths up to 400mm, making it suitable for lab-scale production and testing.
The system integrates a 3-meter-long convection drying heater with an aluminum alloy heating bed capable of reaching temperatures up to 100°C, controlled digitally with ±1°C accuracy. A transparent glass cover with venting fan ensures controlled drying conditions. An electrostatic dust removal system maintains a particle-free coating environment, critical for high-quality film production. Optional accessories include a slot-die coating head and ultrasonic spray heads for advanced coating techniques.
