Automatic Film Coating & Drying Machine Plus XN-VCH-800 – 800 mm Stroke, Ambient–130 °C, Oil-Free Vacuum Pump, 2 kW | Xnergy

Name: Automatic Film Coating & Drying Machine Plus XN-VCH-800

Equipment Type: Large-Stroke Flow-Cast Film Coating Machine with Hot-Air Circulation Drying & Oil-Free Vacuum Pump

Product Code: XN-VCH-800

Product Introduction:

The Automatic Film Coating & Drying Machine Plus XN-VCH-800 is an 800 mm long flow-cast coating machine that integrates vacuum substrate fixation, hot-air circulation drying, and an oil-free vacuum pump in a single platform. The system is equipped with a unique automatic substrate-pushing mechanism that enables the production of smooth, uniform coatings up to 150 mm wide × 800 mm long on a wide range of substrate materials. The XN-VCH-800 is paired with an adjustable doctor blade for thick-film fabrication, making it suitable for laboratory and pilot-scale coating research applications requiring controlled in-line drying conditions.

Product Features:

• Hot-air circulation drying with digital temperature control — maximum operating temperature 130 °C
• Digital timer display — drying time freely configurable
• Coating speed adjustable over 0–120 mm/s range
• Vacuum aluminum plate — supports rapid substrate placement and removal
• Adjustable coating stroke over 0–800 mm range
• Adjustable doctor blade for coating thickness control
• Compact footprint — space-efficient design
• Refined industrial design — sheet metal with three-dimensional geometric styling, clean and aesthetically pleasing

Main Specifications:

Values measured by Xnergy. Typical values for reference; not guaranteed unless otherwise specified.

Application Areas:

• Laboratory and pilot-scale flow-cast film coating research
• Long-format thin-film fabrication (up to 150 mm × 800 mm coating area)
• Battery electrode coating with in-line drying for laboratory cell development
• Functional thin-film research where in-line drying control is required
• Coating-and-drying process development at laboratory and pilot scale

Recommended Operating Procedure:

1. Power on the XN-VCH-800 and verify that the vacuum aluminum plate, oil-free vacuum pump, hot-air circulation drying system, digital temperature controller, and digital timer are all operating normally. 2. Place the substrate (foil or sheet-type material) on the vacuum aluminum plate (L900 × W200 × H32 mm) and engage the vacuum to fix the substrate. 3. Set the target blade gap (within 0–5 mm) using the doctor-blade adjustment, according to the desired wet film thickness. 4. Set the target coating speed (within 0–120 mm/s) and coating stroke (within 0–800 mm). 5. Set the target drying temperature on the digital temperature controller (within ambient–130 °C). 6. Set the target drying time on the digital timer. 7. Load the coating slurry, then initiate the coating run; the automatic substrate-pushing system advances the coating along the configured stroke, and the hot-air circulation drying system performs in-line drying. 8. After the configured drying time elapses, allow the substrate and platform to cool before removing the sample. 9. After each run, clean all wetted surfaces with appropriate solvent (water or NMP, depending on the slurry system used) and dry thoroughly before the next run.

Packaging & Storage:

The XN-VCH-800 ships fully assembled with the vacuum aluminum plate, oil-free vacuum pump, hot-air circulation drying system, digital temperature controller, digital timer, doctor-blade adjustment mechanism, automatic substrate-pushing system, and integrated control panel. Store on a stable laboratory bench or workstation in a clean, dry environment, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and corrosive atmospheres. Disconnect the power supply when the equipment is not in active use. Inspect the vacuum pump, heating system, blade-gap mechanism, and substrate-pushing system periodically for wear or contamination.

Safety:

For research and industrial laboratory use only. Always follow standard laboratory safety protocols when operating coating equipment with heated surfaces. Do not touch the heated platform or coated substrate during operation — surface temperatures up to 130 °C can cause burns. Always wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat) when handling slurries, solvents, and coated electrodes. When working with NMP-based slurries or other regulated solvents, operate in a well-ventilated fume hood and follow local regulations on solvent use and recovery. Disconnect the power supply before any cleaning, maintenance, or component replacement. Allow the heating system to cool to room temperature before any cleaning or sample-handling operations. Refer to the included user manual for complete safety and operating instructions.

Note: Specifications listed above are typical and for reference only. Actual performance depends on the specific slurry chemistry, coating thickness, drying temperature setpoint, drying time, substrate type, and ambient operating conditions — consult published literature and our technical team for guidance on specific coating-and-drying protocols.
