SE-KTQ-150 Micrometer Adjustable Film Applicator with 150 mm Width for Precise Wet Film Thickness Control
The SE-KTQ-150 film applicator is engineered to deliver precise and consistent wet film coatings for laboratory-scale material research. It is particularly suited for applications such as ceramic tape casting and battery electrode fabrication, where controlled film thickness is critical. The device enables researchers to produce high-quality films with minimal material waste and at reduced cost.
This applicator employs micrometer heads to adjust the clearance of a stainless steel doctor blade with a precision-ground edge. The micrometer mechanism allows fine control of the blade gap with an accuracy of 10 microns, enabling wet film thicknesses ranging from 10 to 5000 microns. A built-in slurry guiding plate ensures even distribution of coating material ahead of the blade, supporting uniform film formation across the 150 mm coating width.
Key Features
- Micrometer heads provide precise blade clearance adjustment with 10 micron resolution.
- Standard coating width of 150 mm suitable for various laboratory-scale film casting tasks.
- Wet film thickness adjustable between 10 and 5000 microns for versatile application needs.
- Stainless steel doctor blade with precision ground edge for consistent film quality.
- Integrated slurry guiding plate ensures even coating material distribution before the blade.
- Slurry reservoir capacity of 60 ml supports continuous coating without frequent refills.
- Optional digital micrometer upgrade available for enhanced accuracy and inch/millimeter conversion.

Typical Applications
The SE-KTQ-150 is widely used in research laboratories for producing uniform wet films in ceramic tape casting, battery electrode coating, and other material coating processes requiring precise thickness control. It supports development and testing of new materials by enabling reproducible film formation at laboratory scale.
Configuration & Operating Notes
Replacement parts such as springs and micrometer heads are available separately. Users can upgrade to digital micrometer heads for improved measurement accuracy and convenience, including instant inch/millimeter conversion. Custom doctor blades can be ordered to fit widths above 100 mm, but compatibility with other film applicators is not guaranteed without customization. Proper handling and cleaning of the stainless steel blade and slurry reservoir are recommended to maintain consistent coating performance.
