MSK-AFA-DS300-LD Vertical Double-Side Roll-to-Roll Coater for Battery Electrode Sheets with Max 260mm Coating Width
The MSK-AFA-DS300-LD is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of producing double-sided coated electrode sheets for advanced battery research and development. It is particularly suited for coating materials used in lithium-ion, graphene thin films, ceramic coatings, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and nickel-zinc (Ni-Zn) batteries. This system excels at applying uniform coatings on diverse substrates, including foam and mesh types, which are common in battery electrode fabrication.
This vertical roll-to-roll coater integrates a blade coating method with precise control over coating thickness and alignment. Its compact design occupies minimal laboratory space while delivering consistent coating quality. The system includes an infrared drying zone with adjustable venting and temperature control to ensure proper curing of coated layers.

Typical Applications
This coater is ideal for research and development of battery electrodes requiring uniform double-sided coatings. It supports fabrication of electrodes for lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, nickel-zinc, and graphene-based batteries. The system is especially effective for substrates with complex structures such as foam and mesh, enabling advanced battery performance studies.
Configuration & Operating Notes
Optional accessories include slurry pumps for continuous slurry feeding to extend coating length and dual-filtration systems for NMP vapor control to maintain a healthy working environment. Users should ensure proper installation of a two-stage pressure regulator if using gas cylinders instead of an air compressor to meet safety requirements. The system requires a dedicated 15A air breaker and compressed air supply within specified pressure ranges.
