The lowest of three quotes usually carries a comma blade, and cheap is not the whole story. The round edge aligns itself, the open path takes fille...

The two quotes name different heads, and the split starts at the metering principle. A blade sets the wet film by its gap, while micro-gravure coun...

The sheet gives a reading at one speed, while the blade sees the whole rheology. The slope, the recovery time, the yield value and the surface tens...

Viscosity moves with temperature on an exponential curve, and the film follows. Heat walks in from four routes, the workshop swing, shear, oven rad...

Air gets folded in by the process, and surface agents keep the foam alive. Sort big bubbles from micro-foam before you act. Vacuum handles the micr...

How fast a slurry settles comes from particle size, density difference and viscosity. The drum layers first, the tank cakes later, and coat weight ...

Particles are always there. Whether they hurt the coating comes down to four things. How far the largest one sits from the wet film, how many overs...

Whether filler rules out a gravure roll is not decided by the viscosity figure. The particle size has to pass the cell opening, and the hardness ha...

High solids brings four new problems, and viscosity going up is only one of them. The two solids figures have to be kept apart and closely packed p...

Fifteen thousand centipoise is not a wall, it is a filter. It rules out transfer metering by cell volume and leaves gap metering and pressure meter...

A thin slurry is not hard to coat. It is hard to coat steadily. The pump leaks more, the metering method has to be chosen again, wetting turns crit...

Viscosity is not the reason a slurry will not run. Three things stop it. Pressure drop in the feed section, the metering method at the head, and th...
