What Is a Laboratory Transfer Coater?
A laboratory transfer coater is a precision instrument used to apply battery slurries onto metal foils (copper or aluminum) via a transfer‑roll mechanism. Unlike doctor blade coaters, transfer coaters mimic production‑scale coating better, providing reliable data for scale‑up. Our unit is specifically built for lithium‑ion battery electrode preparation – both positive and negative pastes can be coated uniformly.
Lab Battery Electrode Transfer Coating Machine – Key Features
This lab battery electrode transfer coating machine offers:
Digital control with HMI for easy parameter setting.
Full automation of unwind, coating, web guiding, hot‑air drying, and rewind.
Coating modes: Continuous coating and intermittent coating.
Heating system: Electric heating oven with precise temperature control.
Web guiding: Automatic edge correction to prevent foil wandering.
Production data: Parameters can be recorded and later used on production‑scale machines.
It is perfect for R&D labs, universities, and pilot lines that need to generate reliable coating data before mass production.
Experimental Transfer Coating System for Battery R&D – Applications
As an experimental transfer coating system for battery R&D, our equipment serves two main purposes:
Data collection – Coating thickness, uniformity, drying behavior, and adhesion can be studied.
Process transfer – Optimized parameters (e.g., coating gap, pump speed, oven temperature) can be directly adopted by high‑speed production coaters.
It is widely used for:
New electrode material formulation tests.
Small‑batch electrode production for prototype cells.
Quality control and reproducibility studies.
