Laboratory Roll-to-Roll Coater
A compact and modular roll-to-roll lab coater that transforms the way functional thin films are printed and coated.
Compact Roll-to-Roll Processing
The Laboratory Roll-to-Roll Coater (LR2RC) is a compact, high-precision R2R coating and printing system designed for processing thin functional films. Ideal for laboratory research and small pilot-scale production, it enables the continuous processing of hundreds of meters of foil while maintaining exceptional precision and repeatability.
Modular Design for Maximum Flexibility
Built around a highly modular platform, the Laboratory Roll-to-Roll Coater can be configured to match your exact process requirements. Choose from multiple platform lengths and widths, then equip the system with a wide range of printing and coating units, drying and curing systems, foil pretreatment modules, advanced laminators, and other process components. Its compact footprint allows seamless integration into existing laboratories, gloveboxes, and fume hoods without requiring additional infrastructure.
Scalable Performance with User-Friendly Operation
The Laboratory Roll-to-Roll Coater bridges the gap between laboratory research and small-scale production by providing a complete turnkey solution for scalable process development. Advanced slot-die heads, precise web tension control, and optional software ensure consistent, high-quality results across applications including batteries, MedTech, fuel cells, solar cells, transistors, LEDs, and sensors. Easy-to-swap process modules simplify system reconfiguration, while CE certification and CSA/UL compliance provide confidence in safety, reliability, and long-term operation.
