An apparatus is disclosed for coating a surface that is movable relative to the apparatus with a layer of metallic particles or particles having a metal-like appearance and reflectivity, the particles adhering more strongly to the surface than to one another. The apparatus comprises at least one spray head for directly or indirectly applying to the surface a fluid stream within which the particles are suspended, a housing surrounding the spray head(s) and defining an interior plenum for confining the fluid stream, the housing having a rim adjacent the surface that is configured to prevent egress of particles from a sealing gap defined between the rim of the housing and the surface to be coated, and a suction source connected to the housing to extract from the plenum the sprayed fluid and particles suspended in the sprayed fluid. In operation, the suction source extracts substantially all particles that are not in direct contact with the surface, so as to leave only a substantially single particle layer adhering to the surface on exiting the apparatus.

A system for lacquer transfer is disclose having a device for lacquer transfer. The device includes a frame, a transfer roller with a circumferential lateral wall, and a slit nozzle for dispensing lacquer. The slit nozzle is connected to the frame. An outside contact surface of the lateral wall includes several depressions. The transfer roller is mounted rotatably to the frame. The slit nozzle is arranged contactless to or in direct contact with the outside contact surface of the lateral wall for dispensing lacquer into respective depressions in the lateral wall while the transfer roller is rotated. The transfer roller is configured to roll with the outside contact surface on a work surface of a work piece for transferring the lacquer from the depressions to the work surface.

The regulating plate is rotatable along with the rotatable shaft to cause edges of the regulating plate adjacent to the glue applying unit at the same time. The blocking plate is fixed to the rotatable shaft separately from the regulating plate. The above-described configuration of the glue applying mechanism is effective in controlling the applied glue quantity in thickness.

A method for manufacturing a positive electrode for a secondary battery includes unwinding a positive electrode base material, transferring the positive electrode base material to a first coating unit through a plurality of rollers, coating an insulating material at predetermined positions on opposite sides of the positive electrode base material with respect to a transfer direction of the positive electrode base material to form insulating portions, drying the insulating material to form insulating portions, coating a positive electrode slurry between the insulating portions on the opposite sides of the positive electrode base material, and drying the positive electrode slurry to form a positive electrode film formed with a positive electrode portion on the positive electrode base material.

An excess coating removal device, which may be used with or retrofit to a can coating machine. Excess coating is removed before it can contact undesirable locations on the machine or the can.

A gravure coater test apparatus includes a gravure roll and a backup roll which are circumscribed to each other, a motor which drives the gravure roll partially submerged in a water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive for coating, a controller which adjusts the rotational speed of the motor, a doctor blade which is selected from a plurality of types to scrape the water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive from the surface of the gravure roll being rotated, and an infrared analyzer which allows at least one of the type of the water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive corresponding to the selected doctor blade, the uniformity of the coating surface, and the amount of the coated water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive to be confirmed.

A coating apparatus includes: a container configured to accumulate a coating liquid; a rotatable coating bar arranged at an opening part so that the coating bar has a clearance between the coating bar and a downstream side end of an upstream side cover and a clearance between the coating bar and an upstream side end of a downstream side cover and a rotation axis direction of the coating bar is directed in a longitudinal direction of the container; a plurality of rotatable supports intermittently arranged along the rotation axis direction of the coating bar; and an in-liquid cover extending in the longitudinal direction of the container.

A co-axial roller printing equipment includes a working platform, a roller, a grinding device, a cutting device and a coating structure. The working platform is configured for carrying a substrate and driving the substrate to move. The roller is disposed above the working platform and has a surface. The grinding device is disposed on the working platform and configured to contact and grind the surface of the roller.
