How the Electrode Coater Works
Step 1: Material Loading
First, you load the substrate (aluminum foil for cathodes or copper foil for anodes) onto the unwinding station. The auto rectify deviation system ensures proper alignment before coating begins.
Step 2: Tension Control
The unwinding roller with tension control maintains consistent tension, preventing stretching or deformation of the delicate foil as it enters the coating zone.
Step 3: Coating Application
The PLC-controlled coating structure applies slurry to the substrate. You can select:
- Continuous coating for standard electrodes
- Intermittent coating for patterned electrodes
The precision feeding system and applicator knife roller ensure uniform thickness across the entire 440mm coating width.
Step 4: Drying
The coated electrode enters the 4-part drying box (2 meters total) followed by the 3-meter drying section. The hot air circulation system removes solvent efficiently while inspection doors allow process monitoring.
Step 5: Tension Management
At the oven outlet, the float roller tension structure maintains proper tension as the electrode exits the drying zone.
Step 6: Winding
Finally, the wrap-up system with adjustable-speed motor and auto rectify deviation winds the finished electrode onto rolls. The tension sensor system ensures consistent winding quality.
