Key Design Features
1. All-In-One Integrated Design
We combined unwinding, coating, drying, and rewinding functions into a single, space-saving unit. This integration eliminates the need for multiple separate machines, simplifies your workflow, and reduces your laboratory footprint.
2. Precision Slot Die Coating System
The machine utilizes a slot die coating head that delivers consistent, repeatable coating application. You can achieve both continuous coating with precise thickness control, making it ideal for developing new electrode formulations.
3. Automatic Tension Control
We implemented a floating roller tension system that maintains constant tension throughout the coating process. From unwinding through drying to rewinding, the system automatically adjusts to prevent stretching or wrinkling of delicate electrode materials.
4. Integrated Hot Air Drying Oven
The 1-meter oven uses hot air circulation to dry coated electrodes efficiently. This design ensures uniform solvent removal, which is critical for achieving consistent electrode properties.
5. Automatic Web Guiding System
Throughout the process, the rectifying system automatically corrects material position, keeping the electrode centered during unwinding, coating, and rewinding. This prevents edge misalignment and ensures consistent coating quality.
6. Stainless Steel Construction
We constructed the machine from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning – essential when working with various slurry chemistries.

How the Coating Process Works
Step 1: Unwinding with Automatic Rectification
First, you place the base material (aluminum foil for cathodes or copper foil for anodes) onto the unwinding device. The material then enters the floating roller tension system after automatic rectification, which ensures proper alignment before coating begins.
Step 2: Tension Adjustment
Next, the system adjusts the unwinding tension to optimal levels. This prevents stretching or deformation of the delicate foil as it enters the coating head.
Step 3: Precision Coating Application
The material then passes through the slot die coating head. Here, the slurry material applies according to the coating system’s programmed settings. The slot die design ensures uniform thickness across the entire coating width.
Step 4: Hot Air Drying
After coating, the wet electrode enters the 1-meter oven where hot air circulation dries the solvent. The oven temperature and airflow are optimized for your specific slurry chemistry, ensuring complete solvent removal without cracking or blistering.
Step 5: Post-Drying Tension Control
Following drying, the electrode passes through another tension system that adjusts tension to match the rewinding speed. This synchronization prevents stretching or sagging during rewinding.
Step 6: Automatic Centering and Rewinding
Finally, the rectifying system automatically corrects the electrode position, keeping it centered. The winding device then rewinds the finished electrode, ready for subsequent processes like calendaring, slitting, or cell assembly.
