Nortech 16" Dual Edge Scoop Coater
Professional dual-edge scoop coater designed for applying consistent emulsion coatings to screen printing screens with excellent control and repeatable stencil thickness.
Characteristics
The Nortech 16" Dual Edge Scoop Coater is a durable aluminum emulsion coating tool engineered to help screen printers achieve smooth, even emulsion application across a wide range of screen sizes. Featuring a dual-edge design, the coater offers both a sharp edge and a rounded edge, allowing users to control emulsion thickness based on stencil requirements and printing applications.
Constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum, this scoop coater provides excellent handling and long-term reliability in production environments. The 16-inch coating width is ideal for smaller screens, specialty screens, and precision coating applications where consistent stencil quality is critical.
Whether used in manual shops or high-volume production facilities, the Nortech Dual Edge Scoop Coater helps improve stencil consistency, exposure quality, and overall print performance.
- Durable aluminum construction for long service life
- Dual-edge design provides coating flexibility
- Sharp edge for thinner emulsion coatings
- Rounded edge for heavier emulsion deposits
- Helps create smooth, consistent stencil thickness
- Lightweight design for comfortable handling
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Suitable for manual and automatic screen printing operations
- Corrosion-resistant construction
- Ideal for photopolymer, diazo, and dual-cure emulsions
- Clean screens thoroughly before applying emulsion to ensure proper stencil adhesion.
- Use the sharp edge when thinner stencil profiles and finer detail reproduction are required.
- Use the rounded edge when additional emulsion build-up is needed for specialty inks or increased ink deposit.
- Maintain steady pressure and a consistent coating angle during application for uniform results.
- Apply multiple coats as needed to achieve the desired stencil thickness.
- Allow coated screens to dry completely in a clean, dust-free environment before exposure.
- Clean the scoop coater immediately after use to prevent dried emulsion buildup.
- Store the scoop coater in a clean, dry location to protect coating edges and maintain performance.
- Inspect coating edges regularly for damage that could affect emulsion consistency.
- Follow emulsion manufacturer recommendations for coating techniques and stencil thickness requirements.
