Scoop coaters

Match the coater to the inside opening of the frames you coat. A six-inch trough serves narrow label screens, and a wider coater can cover more of a large opening. Measure the assembled tool including end caps. Choose the coating lip using the directions for your mesh and emulsion.

Choosing scoop coaters

One width or a set

The 6- and 12-inch set fits a bench that alternates between two distinctly different openings. The 18.5-inch Ecotex coater serves a wider frame only when the actual opening allows it to travel. If one opening dominates your work, start with the width that fits it.

Check what can stay on the bench

A flat base lets you set a coater down without resting it on its working lip. Compare a model with a cover if you want to protect the trough between uses. Follow the emulsion directions for cleaning and handling.

Department questions

Can I use an 18.5-inch coater in a 20-inch frame?

Measure the inside span and end clearance. Outside frame width does not tell you the full answer.

What do two edges change?

They provide two coating lip profiles. Use the emulsion instructions to choose the lip and coating sequence.

Do I need a coater for pre-coated mesh?

A coater is for applying liquid emulsion. The light-sensitive layer is already on pre-coated sheets.
