Coating Rod

الوصف

 formed (threaded, grooved, etc.) rod is roll formed from a solid steel bar and closely resembles a wire wound rod. The size of the groove determines the coating thickness the same way the cavity between wire winding does. However, the radius in the groove of a formed rod is less likely to clog and cleans up easier than its wire wound equivalent. Special profiles are available to address specific problems like high viscosity coatings and high wear applications.

Mayer rod coating is the 3rd most popular coating method because it's simple, accurate, uniform and cheap. Quick coat weight changes and a wide range of film thicknesses make it flexible enough to work with nearly any coating and substrate. At RD Specialties we have experience retrofitting existing coaters with metering rod coating stations. We can walk you through your options and offer a simple solution for most applications.
Those industries include window film, tape, release paper, photovoltaic, wall coverings, specialty paper and many others. We offer wire wound, grooved/formed, double wound, and gapped rods in any length and diameter.
