Ecotex 18.5 in aluminum scoop coater
The 18.5-inch trough has a thin lip and a rounded lip for spreading emulsion.
What this tool is for
The 18.5-inch trough has a thin lip and a rounded lip for spreading emulsion. It is suited to a frame with enough clear span for the larger tool, including the end caps. Compare it when you coat wider screens often and want the lip to reach across more of the opening.

Fit and buying advice
A nominal 20-inch outside screen can have less than 18.5 inches inside. Measure the shorter and longer inside spans and choose the coating direction with adequate travel. A smaller coater is easier to use when most of your frames have a narrow opening.
Questions about this tool
Can I size it from the artwork alone?
Size the trough from the frame opening first. Plan the coated area for the actual image.
What if it fits only in one direction?
Check that you can move the coater through its full stroke in that orientation.
Why consider the shorter Ecotex version?
It can leave more side clearance and may cover more of the frames you use every day.
