Introduction
The National Research Council of Canada has a requirement for
the supply and delivery of a laboratory-scale, benchtop
spray-coating system that can accommodate spray-coating a wide
range of materials for a wide range of applications at both
small and medium-large scale. The Spray-coating system is to be
delivered to The National Research Council of Canada in
Edmonton, AB.
Mandatory Specifications:
· Bench-top sized - low space requirement (i.e., will not occupy
larger than 1 m2 surface area)
· Fully automated, i.e., "plug-in-play"
· Low volume production (i.e., lab-scale for research &
development)
o Coating of substrates ranging from 1 cm2 to 8.5×11"
· Highly uniform coatings: 90% of material sprayed is deposited on the
substrate)
· Homogeneous coatings from particle suspensions
· Equipment is made of materials that are resistant to a wide
range of chemicals/organic solvents
· Heat plate to allow substrate heating up to 150°C
· Upgradability - i.e., optional features available during
system purchase or later date
o Atmosphere gas monitoring
o Vacuum plate
o Liquid delivery - options to enable mixing during liquid
delivery to spray nozzle in order to avoid suspensions
flocculating and settling during coating.
o System has to satisfy needs of a number of different research
applications and is modular in order to avoid buying new
equipment in the near future.
