coater
Applies thin layers
A coater is a machine or device that applies a coating to a surface—paint, adhesive, plastic film, or other material: The paper mill installed a new coater for glossy finishes.
In manufacturing contexts, coaters range from simple rollers to sophisticated equipment for applying thin films to electronics or pharmaceuticals.
A person who operates such equipment may also be called a coater.
