User Manual
Slot Die Coater user manualSlot Die Coater Features
Adaptable Slot Die Head
With adaptable slot die head, interchangeable stainless steel shims and meniscus guides, you can control channel thickness, guide your meniscus, and carefully control your thin film coating. We have a wide range of shims, meniscuses and heads to choose from. Or contact us about our custom shims and meniscus guides.
Reliable and Precise Flow Rates
The slot die coater uses an integrated syringe pump with inbuilt micro-step technology, ensuring precise solution control, controlled start and end times and a wide range of flow rates. Achieve flow rates from 1.8 ml/hr to 2.24 l/hr and choose from a range of syringe sizes from 2 ml up to 50 ml.
Temperature Controlled Stage
The hotplate stage allows you to control the temperature of the substrate. Increasing substrate temperature, can improve wetting, reduce the surface tension, or assist in the drying process. For environments with high air flow or if using our slot die coater air knife, you can set a temperature offset to correct for differences between the substrate and hotplate.
Wide Range of Coating Speeds
Our enhanced motorised stage provides smooth, continuous movement across a range of speeds. The motor can achieve speeds as low as 50 μm.s-1 and as high as 75 mm.s-1, increasing your available processing window.
Large Coating Areas
The maximum travel distance of the slot die coater is 150 mm. With the new slot die head with a maximum coating width of 100 mm, this gives an maximum possible coating area of roughly 150 cm2. Slot die coating is comparable with R2R processing, so processes developed with this technique should scale to larger areas.
Head Height Control
Adjust the slot die head relative to the stage with the two micrometers on top of the head carriage. By varying the gap height, you can improve the stability of the meniscus and alter the minimum wet film thickness. This adjustable gap means you can coat various different substrates with ease and accuracy.
Customizable Add-Ons
We are creating additional accessories to use with the slot die coater to help improve the optimization process. Along with the slot die coater, you can now buy the compatible air knife to control drying processing of your film. Coming soon, there will also be a roller attachment so you can coat flexible substrates and foils.
