Slot Die Coater - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18273876 titled 'Slot Die Coater
The patent application describes a slot die coater with a lower die block, an upper die block, and a shim plate forming a slot for coating a substrate with a coating solution.
- The lower die block has a manifold for the coating solution, while the upper die block and shim plate create the slot for coating.
- The coating solution is delivered through an exit port in the manifold onto the substrate.
- The shim plate has an open portion that determines the width of the coating layer on the substrate.
- A structure on the shim plate is inserted into the manifold for stability and precision in coating.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the manufacturing of various coated products such as films, papers, and textiles. - It can be applied in industries like packaging, electronics, and medical devices for precise and uniform coating.
Problems Solved: - Provides a precise and controlled method for coating substrates with a coating solution. - Ensures uniformity and consistency in the coating process, reducing waste and improving product quality.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in coating processes. - Enhanced product quality with uniform coatings. - Cost savings through reduced waste and rework.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized in industries such as packaging, electronics, and medical devices for coating various substrates with precision and consistency.
Questions about slot die coater technology: 1. How does the shim plate in the slot die coater determine the width of the coating layer? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using a slot die coater in industrial applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
A slot die coater that includes a lower die block having a manifold, an upper die block, and a shim plate interposed between the lower die block and the upper die block to form a slot. The manifold configured to accommodate a coating solution, wherein the coating solution is delivered and coated on a substrate through an exit port in communication with the slot. The shim plate includes a plate-shaped member having an open portion which is cut in at least an area to determine a coating width of a coating layer coated on the substrate, and a structure protruding from the plate-shaped member and inserted into the manifold.
