Produce very thin films with this casting system
This company has developed a continuous film-casting system incorporating a Venturi drying module (photo) for the production of very thin films to fine tolerances. A slot die applies the liquid product directly onto a polished stainless-steel belt, which then passes through controlled drying segments where the solvent in the liquid is evaporated. As well as dry film casting to 10–300 μm, the system can also be used to produce high-quality microporous membranes. Applications include the production of separator membranes and ceramic tapes used in lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and solid-state batteries.
