A method of manufacturing a lithium-ion secondary battery electrode sheet disclosed herein includes the step of preparing powder 220 of granulated particles. In this step, the powder (220) of granulated particles (240) including active material particles (241) and a hinder (242) is prepared. The powder (220) is deposited on a strip-shaped collector foil (201) that is being conveyed. Then, the powder (220) is removed from widthwise center portions (202) and (203) of the collector foil (201), and a squeegee (106) is brought into contact with the powder (220) remaining on the opposite sides of the center portions (202) and (203) of the collector foil (201), thus adjusting the thickness of the powder (220). Subsequently, the powder (220) remaining on the opposite sides of the center portions (202) and (203) of the collector foil (201) is pressed.

A cold spray apparatus for applying a coating of particles to a substrate includes a nozzle assembly having a plurality of inner passages terminating at a common exit. The nozzle assembly includes a particle supply members in communication with the inner passages. The particle supply members supply the particles to flow and accelerate through the inner passages and out of the nozzle assembly via the common exit toward the substrate to be coated thereon. Furthermore, each inner passage includes a laser that emits a laser beam that is transmitted through the inner passage. The laser heats at least one of the particles and the substrate to promote coating of the substrate with the particles.

Dispensing bar for a product, such as a granular or powder material, that includes a plurality of dispensing devices, each having a dispensing channel, provided with an inlet opening for the product and an outlet opening through which the product can be dispensed, a reservoir, placed in communication with the dispensing devices that contains the product, wherein the dispensing devices are distributed along an alignment direction, along at least one row, so as to define a deposition front parallel to the alignment direction such that it comprises a support structure, provided with a first portion, with which the reservoir is associated, and a second portion, with which the dispensing devices and the suction means are associated.

The disclosure relates to a coating apparatus for applying a layer of particles to a receiving surface. The apparatus comprises a pressurized air source, an application chamber partially bounded by the receiving surface into which an air stream is delivered by the air source, an air return path for returning air from the application chamber to an intake of the air source to form an air circulation loop, a dosing device for introducing particles to be coated onto the receiving surface into the air circulation loop, and a controller serving to regulate the dosing device so as to maintain the particle concentration within predetermined limits. A method of applying a layer of particles is also provided, as well as printing systems benefiting from the present coating apparatus.

A reactor for coating particles includes a stationary vacuum chamber to hold a bed of particles to be coated, a chemical delivery system, and a paddle assembly. The paddle assembly includes a rotatable drive shaft and a first plurality of paddles and a second plurality of paddles that extend radially from the drive shaft. The spacing, cross-sections, and oblique angles of the paddles are such that orbiting of the paddles causes the first plurality of paddles and the second plurality of paddles to displace substantially equal volumes in opposite directions in the lower portion of the stationary vacuum chamber.

A device is provided to salt a bottle neck. The device can be used in the hospitality industry. The old process to salt a bottle neck by hand to serve a customer was messy, slow, and resulted in a clumpy mess. This device allows the server to coat a bottle evenly with salt or any garnish quickly, evenly, and with little to no overspill of the salt. This device stores the salt securely for health and sanitation. It can also be used to garnish any food product with any coating with a professional and quality result. This device is simple, compact, easy to maintain, and a new solution to a service industry functional problem.

A double-sided coater 1 includes a first coater 5a coating a surface not contacting a guide roll 4b, and a second coater 5b coating another surface contacting the guide roll 4b. Each of the first and second coaters 5a and 5b includes a gravure kiss coater including a small-diameter gravure roll 10 and a coating liquid supplier 30. The guide roll 4b guides a substrate S from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction to allow the first coater 5a to coat the substrate S from a lateral point while the substrate S travels vertically, and to allow the second coater 5b to coat the substrate S from a lower point while the substrate S travels horizontally.

An electrostatic atomizing coating apparatus and method incorporate a rotary head having a base portion, an open end and a plurality of grooves formed radially on an inner peripheral surface of the open end, an inside diameter of the rotary head increasing from the base portion toward the open end, and a motor configured to rotate the rotary head to discharge a thread-shaped paint. A voltage is applied to the rotary head so as to form an electrostatic field between the open end of the rotary head and an earthed coating target and to electrostatically atomize the thread-shaped paint discharged from the open end. Voltage output from the generator is controlled so as to adjust an intensity of the electrostatic field and to control a particle diameter of the electrostatically atomized thread-shaped paint.

A battery electrode material coating device includes a conveying unit that conveys a conductive base material, a hopper configured to be capable of accommodating powder and having a conductive screen, a voltage applying unit capable of applying a voltage between the conveying unit and the hopper, and an ultrasonic transducer connected to a sidewall of the hopper.

The battery electrode material application device includes a conveyance unit that transports a conductive base material, a hopper configured to accommodate powder, a conductive screen disposed between the base material transported by the conveyance unit and the hopper, a voltage application unit that can apply a voltage between the conveyance unit and the screen, and an inclined plate that extends obliquely downward from the screen.
