Product Description

This Compact 6-Station Programmable Spin Coating System is a versatile and space-saving solution perfect for R&D, pilot projects, and small to medium-batch production of coated molded pulp tableware. It allows for rapid prototyping and application of various functional coatings (waterproof, oil-proof, heat-resistant barriers) to diverse pulp molded samples with high precision. The machine enables manufacturers to test and perfect uniform, high-performance coatings with exceptional control and repeatability, serving as a vital bridge between lab-scale concept and full-scale production. Custom-engineered fixtures ensure secure product holding during the spin coating process for consistent 360-degree internal coverage-34.
