Scale-up of Prototype Coater

FY 2023-24 · 2023-10-01

Summary
Calumix currently operates a prototype coater for preparing sample carbon coatings on aluminum foil and polymers. The equipment is currently limited to ~50m roll lengths due to design limitations. Longer rolls are required for customer sampling to allow them to make production level samples. Our plan is to modify to coater design to allow for production of longer rolls (up to ~ 500m in length). Once these modifications are complete, there will be a need to confirm performance and then produce multiple rolls of different compositions for sampling to customers.

Description (French)
Calumix exploite actuellement un prototype de coucheuse pour préparer des échantillons de revêtements de carbone sur des feuilles d’aluminium et des polymères. L’équipement est actuellement limité à des rouleaux d’une longueur d’environ 50 m en raison de contraintes de conception. Des rouleaux plus longs sont nécessaires pour l’échantillonnage des clients afin de leur permettre de réaliser des échantillons au niveau de la production. Nous prévoyons de modifier la conception de la coucheuse pour permettre la production de rouleaux plus longs (jusqu’à ~ 500 m de long). Une fois ces modifications terminées, il sera nécessaire de confirmer les performances, puis de produire plusieurs rouleaux de différentes compositions pour les échantillonner.
