COATING DIE HAVING QUICK ASSEMBLY FEATURES

摘要

A slot coating die (10) having at least a first (12) and a second portion (14) together defining a cavity in fluid communication with a first applicator slot, and at least one quick release fastener (48, 52) disposed so as to clamp the first portion against the second portion. The invention particularly lends itself to the preparation of multilayer coating dies that include a third portion with the second portion and the third portion together defining a second cavity in fluid communication with a second applicator slot. The preferred rear operating quick release clamps obviate the need to tear down the entire die to access one of the interior portions in order to replace a shim or clean a slot.
