PRO-CAST® Features
The PRO-CAST® Series is a full line of versatile
Casting/Coating Machines for the production of
high quality cast/coated products. Systems range
in length from 12 feet, ideal for lab scale applications,
to over 100 feet. The PRO-CAST® Series are "production
proven", having set performance standards
in the production of millions of square inches
of product. All are equipped with continuous conveyor
systems with surfaces that assure imperfection-free castings/coatings.
Production variables, such as conveyor speed,
temperature profile, solvent gradient, and air
flow, are adjusted and controlled precisely. All
models are equally adept at either continuous
or batch operation. "Casting/coating thicknesses
from 0.001" to 0.125" and widths from
4" to 52" are routinely produced on
a daily basis on PRO-CAST® machines. Large custom
models are available to handle special requirements.
A variety of casting/coating surfaces can be used,
depending on the surface finish and release characteristics
required. Casting can be done directly on a stainless
steel belt or laid down on a coated paper or organic
polymer carrier such as MYLAR® and ACLAR®.Coating
can be unto foils or screen materials.
Following are some of the special design features available with:
Precise casting/coating surface ground and certified to a tolerance of+0.0003".
Sturdy structure with a solid level casting/coating platform.
Constant speed microprocessor controlled digital drive with speed indication.
Precisely set gaps for doctor blade or coating heads.
Systems to consistently deliver slurry to the surface of the carrier.
Forced, preheated air drawn in a counter-flow direction for convective drying, solvent gradient control, and exhaust removal.
Exhaust system sized to be compatible with solvent or aqueous based slurries.
Human Machine Interface (HMI) providing an easy to use operator interface specifically designed for the tape casting/coating process.
