Coating rod type

1. Wire winding rod (commonly used)

The original Mayer-bar was popularized by Charles Meyer in the 20s of the last century and is very popular today. Coating by Mailer is one of the three main coating methods at present. The vast majority of coaters use these wire rods


2. Coated light sticks

Detail of the coated light stick

RDS coating light bars are commonly used to coat paper, cardboard or plastic film with pre-dosed coatings. The thickness of the coating is determined by the pressure (the rolling action of the applicator) or the tension of the fabric. RDS smooth rods can meet the requirements of any surface treatment, and the RDS coating smooth rod hard chrome plating process can significantly extend the service life of the rods.


3. Open coating rod

For higher viscosity coatings, open wire rods reduce clogging and eliminate stitches. The grooves created by spaced wrap lines are (see picture) and are shallow and allow heavy paint to flow better. The smaller lines create a small break in the paint flow so that the paint can be soaked more completely. Although open wire rods are not as durable as double spools, they are also less expensive.


Fourth, double winding coating rod

For higher viscosity coatings, double wire wound rods reduce clogging and eliminate stitches. The grooves created by wrapping smaller lines around a larger tip (see picture) are wide and shallow, allowing heavy paint to flow better. The smaller tip line creates a smaller break in the paint flow so that the paint can be saturated more completely. Although double spooled wire bars are more expensive than open wire bars, they are also more durable.


5. Special shape coating rod

Special profile coating rods

The shape of a standard formed wire rod is very similar to that of a wire-wound wire rod, with the same spacing and peak radius. The wide shallow grooves of the HD profile wire rods are suitable for higher viscosity coatings (similar to double wound & open wire rods). The flat peak feature of the XLR profile greatly increases the wear resistance of the wire rod and prolongs the service life of the wire rod.
