Two-Level Double-Sided Slot Die Coating Machine For Battery Electrode Production

Two-Level Double-Sided Slot Die coating machine For Battery Electrode Production

SPECIFICATIONS

Designed for continuous, high-precision electrode coating, this double-level slot die coating machine is suitable for single-side or double-side coating processes in lithium battery manufacturing.

The two-floor machine structure allows independent drying and web handling for each coating side, improving process stability in long-run production.

● Key highlights

Slot die coating on both A and B sides of the foil

Double-level machine layout with independent drying zones

Stable tension control for continuous roll-to-roll operation

Suitable for laboratory, pilot line, and production-scale applications

● Is This Slot Die Coater Right for Your Battery Process?

In real battery production, double-sided coating often brings challenges such as tension fluctuation, uneven drying, and coating inconsistency between sides.

This double-level slot die coating machine is designed to address these issues by separating coating and drying paths while keeping web handling stable throughout the entire process.

It is commonly used in:

Lithium-ion battery electrode coating

Power battery and energy storage battery production

Electrode R&D and process optimization

Pilot and small-to-medium scale manufacturing lines

If your process requires controlled coating thickness, good repeatability, and long-term operational stability, this system is a practical solution.

● Working Principle of the Double-Level Slot Die Coating System

The machine adopts a roll-to-roll slot die coating process with a two-floor physical structure.

The metal foil is unwound at the coating section on the first level

Slot die coating head applies slurry onto theA sideof the foil

The coated foil passes through the first drying oven for solvent removal

At the machine tail, a second slot die coating head coats theB side

After B-side coating, the foil enters the second-level drying oven

Edge alignment correction and rewinding are completed on the upper level

This layout allows double-sided coating without reversing the foil, reducing process complexity and improving coating consistency between both sides.

● Slot Die Coating Process Advantages

Slot die coating is a pre-metered coating method widely used in battery electrode manufacturing.

In actual operation, it allows the coating amount to be set in advance, making thickness and areal density easier to control.

Compared with open coating methods, slot die coating performs more stably when coating speed changes, especially in continuous production.

Main advantages include:

Uniform coating thickness across the electrode width

High consistency of coating weight

Suitable for both oil-based and water-based battery slurries

Reduced material waste during long coating runs

● Key Technical Features

Double-level machine structure for double-sided coating

Slot die coating heads for A and B sides

Fully automatic PID closed-loop tension control system

Tension control accuracy up to ±1 N

High-speed coating with stable web handling

Compatible with copper foil and aluminum foil substrates

Imported standard components such as Omron PLC control systems and high-precision servo motors are used to ensure long-term stability.

The proportion of imported standard parts accounts for approximately85% of the total machine components, contributing to consistent coating performance.

● Typical Battery Slurry Compatibility

Suitable for coating processes using:

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP), oil-based or water-based

Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO)

Ternary materials (NCM / NCA)

Lithium manganate

Lithium titanate

Graphite-based anode materials

This flexibility makes the machine suitable for different battery chemistries without major structural changes.
