PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous coating apparatus which coats the outer circumferential surface of a drum with photosensitive coating liquid uniformly with good quality when a drum-shaped photoreceptor used for an electrophotographic device such as a printer is manufactured. SOLUTION: The continuous coating apparatus comprises: a drum dipping tank 1 for dipping a drum D as a photoreceptor support in the photosensitive coating liquid for coating; a coating liquid circulation tank 2 which receives and circulates coating liquid overflowing when the drum is dipped, has a stirring function, a liquid level sensing function, a temperature controlling function, and a viscosity adjusting function, and supplies the coating liquid to the dipping tank; a solvent tank 3 which supplies a solvent for viscosity adjustment to the circulation tank; a liquid replenishing tank 4 which replenishes the circulation tank with the coating liquid; and a controller which continuously supplies the coating liquid from the liquid replenishing part to the circulation tank by an amount corresponding to the coating liquid consumption. A plurality of liquid replenishing tanks may be provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
