MSK-AFA-PD200 Slot Die Sheet Coater with Vacuum Chuck and Optional Heating
The MSK-AFA-PD200 is engineered for laboratory-scale slot die coating tasks requiring high precision and control, particularly for polymer and polymer composite films. It is well suited for research on flexible electrodes, solid-state battery components, perovskite solar cells, and thermoelectric sheets, where uniform thin film deposition is critical.
This coater integrates a vacuum chuck capable of securely holding flexible substrates up to 5 mm thick over an area of 360 mm by 250 mm, with a maximum coating area of 300 mm by 200 mm. The system supports an optional heating function for both the slot die head and syringe pump, enabling processing of hot melt materials up to 100°C. The coating width is standard at 150 mm, with other widths available on request.
Key Features
- High-precision slot die coating with a maximum width of 150 mm (standard) and options for 50, 100, or 200 mm widths.
- Integrated vacuum chuck and pump to firmly hold substrates up to 5 mm thick during coating.
- Optional heating for slot die head and syringe pump up to 100°C for hot melt film applications.
- Coating speed adjustable from 0.05 to 20 mm/s via a 6″ color touchscreen control panel.
- Sealed slurry feeding system with integrated syringe pump (60 ml capacity) made of stainless steel.
- Gap control using two micrometer heads and digital drop indicators for precise slot die-to-substrate spacing.
- Compatible with glovebox environments using a 24 V DC motor to enable inert atmosphere coating.

Typical Applications
The MSK-AFA-PD200 is ideal for coating thin films of polymers and composites used in flexible electronics, solid-state battery electrodes, perovskite solar cells, and thermoelectric materials. Its heating options enable processing of hot melt materials, expanding its utility in advanced material research and development.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The coater includes an integrated vacuum pump and chuck, a sealed syringe pump for slurry feeding, and a digital touchscreen for precise control of coating parameters. Optional heated slot die head and syringe pump must be ordered together for hot melt applications. The gap between the slot die and substrate is finely adjustable using built-in micrometer heads and digital indicators. The 24 V DC motor allows safe operation inside inert atmosphere gloveboxes. Safety precautions should be observed when using heating functions and vacuum components.
