Chapter 11: Advanced Features in Slot Die Coating

Enhancing Performance

• Edge Bead Reduction: Minimizes waste at edges; crucial for wide widths.

• Modular Design: Quick changes for materials; adapts to viscosity variations.

• Multi-Layer Capability: Up to 3 layers via manifolds; separate flows for different solids %.

• Anti-Clogging Geometries: For high-solids; wider throats for larger particles.

• Temperature Control: Cored holes or heaters; stabilizes viscosity.

• Replaceable Lip Inserts: For versatility; swap for different gaps/temps.

 

These features support complex applications, as in ARC's coating overviews, by addressing factors like particle size and layers.
