Description:
MSK-AFA-III is a CE Certified & UL/CSA ready compact tape casting coater with a heating cover designed to produce films with consistent thickness. It has a unique driving system to produce a smooth coating on all types of materials. The flat vacuum chuck is built in to hold the substrate sheet in place, which is particularly useful when making thin coatings. One 100 mm width adjustable micrometer applicator (doctor-blade). Heating plate with digital controller either on top or bottom is optional for drying up to 100°C with a temperature accuracy of +/-1°C. This equipment can be used for researchers on ceramic tape castings and Li-Ion battery electrode coating.
