MSK-AFA-H500SD 300mm Width Slot-Die Coater with SS316 Heated Vacuum Chuck up to 150°C for Thin Film Fabrication
The MSK-AFA-H500SD is engineered for precise slot-die coating of thin films, ideal for research and development in perovskite solar cells, fuel cells, and battery electrodes. It accommodates substrates up to 400 mm in length and 380 mm in width, enabling film thickness control from 5 to 100 microns. This capability supports uniform thin film deposition critical for advanced material applications.
Central to its design is a vacuum chuck constructed from corrosion-resistant SS316 stainless steel, featuring a 500 mm by 400 mm surface area with sub-millimeter vacuum holes. The chuck is equipped with a bottom heater controlled digitally to maintain temperatures up to 150°C with ±1°C precision, facilitating solvent evaporation and film adhesion during coating.
Key Features
- Slot-die coating width of 300 mm with a specialized fixture including three precision rollers for consistent slurry application.
- Adjustable coating gap between blade and substrate with ±1 micron accuracy via dual digital micrometers.
- Variable traverse speed from 5 to 100 mm/sec and adjustable traverse length from 10 to 400 mm for flexible coating control.
- Vacuum chuck made of SS316 stainless steel with <1.0 mm vacuum holes ensuring secure substrate holding and uniform heating.
- Digital temperature controller for the chuck heater with precise temperature regulation up to 150°C.
- Selectable power input options: 110 V or 208-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz with 1.5 kW power consumption.
- Optional accessories include a digital syringe pump for controlled slurry infusion and multi-slot-die fixtures for advanced coating patterns.

Configuration & Operating Notes
The unit includes the slot-die fixture with precision rollers and the heated vacuum chuck. A vacuum pump is required but not included. Optional accessories such as a digital syringe pump for slurry delivery and multi-slot-die fixtures are available to enhance coating capabilities. Proper slurry viscosity and dispersion are critical for optimal coating quality; viscosity meters and dispersing machines can be ordered separately to optimize parameters.
