SE-KTQ-50 Micrometer Adjustable Film Applicator with 50 mm Width and 0-6000 Microns Wet Film Thickness
The SE-KTQ-50 is engineered for laboratories requiring precise control over wet film thickness during coating processes. It is particularly suited for applications such as ceramic tape casting, battery electrode fabrication, and various research coatings where uniform film quality is critical. This applicator enables researchers to produce consistent films at lower operational costs by allowing fine adjustment of the knife blade clearance.
The device operates by using micrometer heads to adjust the gap between the stainless steel knife blade and the substrate surface. This micrometer adjustment provides a controllable accuracy of 10 microns, enabling wet film thicknesses ranging from 0 up to 6000 microns. The knife blade is made of stainless steel with a precision-ground edge to ensure smooth, even application of slurry or coating materials.
Key Features
- 50 mm standard blade width suitable for small-scale film casting.
- Micrometer heads allow precise blade clearance adjustment with 10 micron increments.
- Capable of producing wet film thickness from 0 to 6000 microns.
- Stainless steel knife blade with precision-ground edge for uniform coating.
- Replacement springs available for maintenance and long-term use.

Typical Applications
This applicator is widely used in material research laboratories for producing uniform thin films such as ceramic tapes, battery electrodes, and other slurry-based coatings. It is especially beneficial for small batch production and experimental coating processes requiring precise film thickness control.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The SE-KTQ-50 includes the micrometer-adjustable applicator with a stainless steel blade. Replacement springs are available separately to maintain consistent blade pressure over time. For small slurry quantities, complementary equipment such as micro-vibration mills or automatic grinders may be considered to prepare coating materials effectively. Proper handling and cleaning of the blade after use are recommended to maintain precision and longevity.
