Explanation:
I’m not sure if there is an exact word or expression to translate slot coating, but here’s what it means.

A simple example involving slot coating will illustrate the utility of flow modeling. In slot coating, a fluid is forced out of a long rectangular slot onto a moving substrate. The width of the coated surface is typically orders of magnitude larger than the thickness of the slot. When beginning a coating, it is sometimes difficult to insure that fluid will wet the substrate along the entire length of the slot. If a near uniform contact is not made, a large initial portion of the coated material may have to be discarded. (http://www.flow3d.com/newsletters/97/fal97cfs.htm)

This looks like a similar text in Spanish.

Las boquillas, por las que tiene que pasar la pintura para conseguir la pulverización, son
de carburo de tungsteno y son piezas de alta precisión. El "abanico" de pintura
atomizada se produce por una ranura abierta en la cara del orificio. Hay disponibles
varios tamaños de orificio, con distintos ángulos de ranura. La elección de la boquilla
depende de la presión de fluido necesaria para la pulverización, junto con el tamaño de
orificio necesario para conseguir la tasa de salida de fluido correcta. La tasa de salida
del fluido controla el espesor de película aplicado. www.international-pc.com/pc/pds/app_es.pdf

I’m not a native Spanish speaker, but maybe the following will give you an idea of how you might word your sentence:

La superficie del artículo se recubre aplicando el compuesto uniformemente, en forma de un líquido caliente, a través de una ranura.

Just a thought, anyway. Hope it helps.
