SDH150SS Stainless Steel Slot Die Head for Laboratory Slot Die Coating with 150 mm Width and Shim Options
The SDH150SS slot die head is engineered for laboratory-scale coating applications requiring precise deposition of low viscosity inks or solutions. It is particularly suited for research and development tasks where controlled thin film formation on substrates or webs is essential. This model features a 150 mm slotting width, making it ideal for moderate coating widths in lab environments.
Constructed primarily from stainless steel, the SDH150SS offers durability and chemical resistance. Its design consists of only two main parts, which simplifies assembly, disassembly, and cleaning processes. The slot die head operates effectively at low pressures and can be used with a single shim or a shim kit that includes a meniscus guide, enabling uniform coating at web speeds ranging from 0.1 to 5 meters per minute.
Key Features
- Available in standard slotting widths including 100, 150, 200, and 300 mm; this model is 150 mm wide.
- Simple two-part stainless steel construction for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- Operates at low pressure with low viscosity inks for precise coating control.
- Includes multiple shim thicknesses (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mm) for adjustable coating thickness.
- Equipped with a sample delivery tube for syringe connection, facilitating fluid supply.
- Compatible with low web speeds from 0.1 to 5 m/min for lab-scale processes.
- No gaskets required, reducing potential contamination and maintenance complexity.

Typical Applications
The SDH150SS is ideal for laboratory research involving thin film coatings of inks, polymers, or other low viscosity fluids on substrates or flexible webs. It supports development of coatings for electronics, photovoltaics, sensors, and other advanced materials where precise fluid deposition is critical.
Configuration & Operating Notes
This slot die head is designed for DIY lab-scale slot die coaters and is not compatible with the MSK-AFA-PD100 system without custom shim orders. Optional shim kits with meniscus guides are available to optimize coating uniformity at low web speeds. The included syringe and connection tube facilitate fluid delivery. Custom widths and shim openings can be requested to meet specific coating requirements.
