Automatic Tape Casting Machines Suitable for Green Ceramic

  " Laboratory Tape Caster CAM T-1 - designed to cast slurries in labs or small scale productions "

Laboratory tape caster is design to cast slurries in labs or small scale productions in to homogeneous tape. Tape is cast on to carrier PET film.

Carrier film is unwounded from a roll with adjustable torque control, which determines carrier tape tension. Carrier tape is guided through casting head where slurry is deposited by doctor blade method.

Casting gap is easy adjustable by micrometer screws. Gape measurement is done by two measuring gauges (readout in micrometers or mills). High precision tungsten carbide doctor blade and granite bottom ensures high precision casting down to 5 micrometers.

Slurry fed is done by gravity from a slurry vessel. Slurry level in a fully covered Teflon casting box is determined by height of inlet slurry tube. Casting speed is adjustable. Up to four meter long drying section covered by glass plate and connection to factory exhaust is available for tape drying.

Amount of fresh air and exhausted air is adjustable by flappers. Optionally machine can be equipped with additional hot air inlet and/or bottom plate heating for more efficient drying.

At the end tape is wound together with carrier film in to a roll.

 "CAM-M1 tape casting machine : Fully automatic casting gap control with auto zero calibration... "

The CAM-M1 tape casting machine is designed and built to meet the most stringent customer demands. A need for higher automation levels and higher accuracy’s led to this truly innovative caster.

The automated continuous slurry dosage can be performed through a slotted die system that allows a +/-10 micrometer slurry level height. The CAM-M1 presents our new innovative generation of casters that feature fully automatic casting gap control, with auto zero calibration.

On a touch screen you can monitor the process continuously. Using preset menus you can quickly start up a new casting run under the exactly correct conditions, while easy adjustments are continuously possible.

An auto tracking system assures a perfectly wound carrier and ceramic tape.

The system has numerous safety features that allow safe operation when utilizing flammable solvents. The counter flow filtered hot air dryer can be compartmentalized to fine-tune the exact conditions needed for high productivity of perfect tapes.

If your tape systems require additional modification of the casting equipment, we will test your system with you and modify the machine to meet all its requirements.
 

 "Fully automatic casting gap control with auto zero calibration and touch screen display setting... CAM-M1A tape caster"

CAM-M1A tape casting machine is further step in development of our successful CAM-M1 model.

In compare to basic CAM-M1 model it has following features:
 

"Fully stabilized steel belt in combination with automatic feeding of suspensions and winding of tape... CAM 22 tape casting machine"

Features such as the fully stabilized steel belt in combination with automatic feeding of suspensions and winding of tape provide a competitive edge to CAM 22 owners.

The machine is based on a continuous seamless steel belt and a doctor blade casting unit. Special attention is paid to the control of belt speed, tension and tracking.

Active control of casting and drying parameters is used to establish stable conditions that also ensure long belt life.
Pressurized air propels the suspension flow into the doctor blade casting head.

The casting head sits on the belt. Width of the tape is adjusted and controlled by Teflon edge limiters, which slide on the belt.

Thickness of the resulting green tape is easily and precisely set with micrometer screws that accurately determine the gap between blade and belt.

The tape is dried in a tunnel oven with filtered hot air in counter flow.

In keeping with safety requirements when using flammable solvents, the air is heated outside of the oven. The drying regime is controlled by the flow of air over the surface of the tape.

Special curtains allow belt speed to be increased in many cases by a factor of 1.5 compared to regular dryers, without damage to the tape quality. Optionally additional heaters from bottom side of casting belt can be installed. A razor blade helps release the tape from the belt.

Foil take-up is achieved by winding on a roll. An interleaf can be used to avoid any sticking of the tape to itself.
