    摘要: A method of coating an end surface of a monolithic substrate with a liquid comprises: (a) conveying a monolithic substrate to or toward a coating roller; and (b) applying a liquid onto an end surface of the monolithic substrate by contacting the end surface with the coating roller loaded with the liquid. The monolithic substrate may be conveyed to the coating roller using a conveying device such as a roller conveyor, a belt conveyor, a wire mesh conveyor a chain conveyor or a robotic arm. The liquid may be applied to an end surface of the monolithic substrate by either contacting the end surface of the monolith with a rotating surface of the coating roller loaded with the liquid; or by contacting the end surface of the monolith with the coating roller loaded with the liquid and passing the monolithic substrate over the coating roller. The method may also comprise a step of drying and then claiming the monolithic substrate. An apparatus for use with this method is also disclosed.
