Dip Coaters

Bring hydrophilic coating in-house with automated dip coating systems designed for catheters, guidewires, and long, tight-tolerance medical components- supporting single- or multi-layer processes with integrated UV curing.

Designed for Bringing Medical Device Dip Coating In-House

Our automated dip coating systems are purpose-built for medical device manufacturing, enabling consistent, repeatable coating processes within a compact footprint. A proprietary collapsible tube configuration supports long, tight-tolerance parts without bending- allowing full-length coating while reducing floor space requirements. Semi- or fully-automated operation improves quality and reduces operator variability, while dual-batch processing increases throughput. Intuitive controls support safe, efficient day-to-day production.

DC200 Dip Coating Machines

The DC200 Hydrophilic Coating Machine is an automated dip coating platform designed for low-particulate, low-friction lubricious coatings on catheters, guidewires, and other long medical devices. Supporting single- or multi-layer processes with multiple coating solutions, the DC200 enables repeatable, production-ready coating within a compact footprint.

A dual-batch architecture runs load/dip/dry operations in parallel with UV cure, maximizing throughput without sacrificing process control. PAR Systems’ proprietary collapsible tube configuration allows long, tight-tolerance parts to be coated without bending- reducing risk to the device while minimizing floor space requirements.

Simplified loading and unloading, combined with an automated and configurable process, help protect delicate products while supporting safe, efficient in-house production.
