Bar Coater Features
Full Set of Mayer Rods
The Ossila Bar Coater includes a full set of Mayer rods to give you complete flexibility in your coating processes. Ideal for comprehensive coating research, you can explore coating thicknesses from 6 µm to 200 µm. Plus, the system is also compatible many other types of applicator.
Formed or Wire-Wound
Choose between traditional wire-wound or new formed Mayer rods to fit your coating needs. Both achieve highly reproducible films, but formed rods are less prone to damage and contamination with an easily controlled packing density of the grooves.
Large Coating Area
Coat large-area samples, including sheet samples up to A4 size, with this complete bar coating system. With a programmable travel range up to 290 mm, you can also switch out your Mayer bars to vary your coating width because the system accommodates bar widths from 220 mm to 255 mm.
Wide Range of Coating Speeds
Using our tried and tested motorized stage, the bar coater achieves smooth, reliable movement. For coating with a wide range of solution viscosities without forming defects, you can set the speed as low as 0.05 mm.s-1 and up to 250 mm.s-1.
Smart Stage Design
Mount the drip tray at either end of the system to match the direction of travel, and quickly align your samples using the grid-patterned glass plate. Once your coating is complete, the quick-lock magnet design makes disassembling the system for cleaning swift and simple.
