MSK-AFA-HDS-150 Hybrid Film Coater with Slot Die and Doctor Blade, 100-150 mm Width
The MSK-AFA-HDS-150 is engineered for laboratory-scale thin film coating tasks requiring high precision and versatility. It is particularly suited for research on advanced materials such as perovskite solar cells, proton exchange membranes for fuel cells, and battery electrode films. This hybrid coater integrates both slot die and doctor blade coating techniques, enabling users to apply films with thicknesses ranging from 5 to 100 microns over widths of 100 to 150 mm and lengths up to 320 mm.
Central to its design is a vacuum chuck made from aluminum alloy, featuring a fine perforation pattern (<1.0 mm holes) to securely hold substrates during coating. The chuck measures 200 mm wide by 365 mm long and is equipped with a bottom heater controlled digitally to maintain temperatures up to 120°C with ±1ºC accuracy. This temperature control facilitates optimal drying and film formation. The coater requires an external vacuum pump (not included) to operate the chuck effectively. A glass plate is provided to support coating on porous substrates by enabling vacuum suction through the chuck.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This hybrid film coater is ideal for developing and testing thin films in energy research fields, including perovskite solar cells, fuel cell membranes, and battery electrode coatings. Its precise thickness control and dual coating heads accommodate a variety of slurry viscosities and substrate types, supporting innovation in material science and electrochemical device fabrication.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The system includes one vacuum chuck, a hybrid coating head with fixed doctor blade and removable slot die, a digital syringe pump, and a glass plate for porous substrates. An external vacuum pump is required but not supplied. The coating gap is finely adjustable via digital micrometers for precise film thickness. Optional accessories include multi-channel heatable syringe pumps and viscosity meters to optimize slurry properties for slot die coating. Users should ensure proper vacuum pump compatibility and follow safety guidelines for handling heated components and slurry materials.
