METERING RODS
Smooth stainless rod (stainless, chrome-plated or ceramic-coated types) for coating leveling and smoothing of high-viscosity coatings — typically used after a grooved metering rod in dual-rod systems.
Technical
Overview
The YZX-MR-S smooth metering rod uses a polished stainless steel body in three variants — stainless, chrome-plated and ceramic-coated. It levels and smooths the coating, and is typically installed after a grooved metering rod in dual-rod systems.
Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |

| Core material | 300-series stainless steel |
| Surface types | Stainless / hard chrome / ceramic coated |
| Available diameters | 6.35 mm – 38.00 mm (0.25 – 1.50 in) |
| Maximum length | 3 m (118 in) |
Working principle
In a dual-rod system the first grooved rod controls coat weight while the second smooth rod levels the coating. The smooth rod runs at lower loading pressure and flattens the striated film left by the grooved rod into a uniform layer. Precise loading-pressure control is the key operating parameter.
Applications
Clay coating, paperboard coating, LWC smoothing and other coating-leveling positions requiring high surface uniformity.
