Slot Die Coater - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240299970 titled 'Slot Die Coater
The patent application describes a slot die coater consisting of a lower die block with a manifold, an upper die block, and a shim plate between them to create a slot for coating.
- The manifold is designed to hold a coating solution, which is then delivered and coated onto a substrate through an exit port connected to the slot.
- The shim plate includes a plate-shaped member with an open portion that determines the width of the coating layer on the substrate.
- A structure protrudes from the plate-shaped member and is inserted into the manifold for stability.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the manufacturing of various coated products such as films, papers, and textiles. - It can also be applied in the production of electronic displays, solar panels, and medical devices.
Problems Solved: - Provides a precise and controlled method for coating substrates with a uniform layer of material. - Ensures consistent coating width and quality, reducing waste and improving efficiency in production processes.
Benefits: - Enhanced precision and uniformity in coating applications. - Increased efficiency and reduced material waste. - Improved product quality and consistency.
Commercial Applications: Slot die coaters can be utilized in industries such as packaging, electronics, automotive, and medical devices for precise and uniform coating applications, leading to improved product performance and quality.
Questions about Slot Die Coaters: 1. How does the shim plate in a slot die coater affect the width of the coating layer? 2. What are the advantages of using a slot die coater compared to other coating methods?
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.
