Laboratory Roll-to-Roll Slot-Die Coating System

Louisiana State University’s Chemical Engineering department is seeking a modular, benchtop laboratory roll‑to‑roll slot‑die coating system to apply functional polymers and battery slurries to flexible substrates. The system must fit within a fume hood, weigh ≤35 kg, handle substrates up to 180 mm wide, and provide precise motion, fluid metering, and in‑line drying capabilities. The supplier must deliver, install, and set up the equipment at the university’s specified ground‑level receiving area, assuming all shipping and handling costs. Bids are to be submitted electronically by 11:00 AM CT on 09/03/2026, and the award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. • Benchtop form factor ≤600 mm length, ≤35 kg weight • Substrate width up to 180 mm, speed 0.05–2.8 m/min, stability <3 % • Precision alignment stage (0–90° angular, 10 µm vertical) • Linear syringe pump 1–60 mL, 0.01–9.5 mL/min programmable flow • Chemically inert fluidic tubing (PEEK, PTFE) for low/high viscosity inks • In‑line drying module up to 120 °C with inert‑gas capability • 100 mm coating width slot‑die head, 316L stainless steel construction • 240 V power, delivery and set‑up responsibility of supplier • All bids submitted electronically to [email protected] by 09/03/2026 11:00 AM CT.
