Compact Single-Station Spin Coating Experimental System for Pulp Molding – Customizable Coating Parameters & Coating Recovery
Product Description
This single-station spin coating experimental machine is specifically designed for the pulp molding industry, ideal for laboratory R&D, small-batch sample testing, and process optimization. Using high-speed centrifugal spin coating technology, it applies uniform functional coatings—waterproof, oil-proof, and biodegradable barrier coatings—onto molded pulp samples such as plates, bowls, trays, and custom-shaped containers.
Precision Spin Coating: The system achieves uniform coating coverage on complex 3D sample geometries, including corners, sidewalls, and curved surfaces, with coating thickness uniformity of ±5%.
Coating Recovery System: Equipped with a coating recovery system, excess coating can be reused, achieving high utilization (≥90%) and reducing waste—effectively lowering R&D costs.
Compact & Flexible: The compact design makes it ideal for laboratory environments. The system supports quick changeover between different samples and coating formulations, enabling rapid prototyping and process optimization.
Simple Operation: User-friendly HMI with recipe storage allows easy parameter adjustment and repeatable results—suitable for both experienced researchers and operators new to spin coating.
