Slot-die heads
infinityPV offers slot-die heads for laboratory and for industrial processing
infinityPV offers slot-die heads from the very small to the very large that allows you to coat almost any kind of material for technologies such as solar cells, Perovskite, OPV, PSC, fuel cells, printed batteries, Li-ion electrodes, transistors, LEDs, sensors and much more
The smallest slot-die heads are useful in the laboratory allowing you coat thin films using a minimal amount of ink – down to only a few 100 µl.
The larger slot-die heads enabling you to perform pilot scale procession and all the way up to industrial production.
Common to the infinityPV slot-die heads, is that they offer reliable operation with minimum maintenance at low cost. They also fit all our processing platforms.
The slot-die heads are available in different materials:
PEEK
Stainless steel
Titanium
-suiting the different needs of chemistry, weight and thermal latency.
We have a number of standard heads and shim kits in stock and we can of course always make the slot-die head and shim kits according to your needs.

The small laboratory scaled heads are available in standard widths of 50 mm, 65 mm,115 mm,165 mm and 195 mm allowing for working widths of a single 10 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm or 180 mm working width respectively. The dead volume for the laboratory slot-die coating heads ranges from hundreds of microliters to a few milliliters.
Our larger pilot and industrial scale slot-die heads have a large dead volume starting from around 2 mL pr cm of coating width. This implies that our range of coating heads for coating in a full width of 304.8 mm have a dead volume of approx. 60 mL. The slot-die heads intended for operation at low pressure with low viscosity inks are comprised of only two parts which greatly simplifies assembly, disassembly and cleaning. They can be operated with a single shim or with a shim kit comprising shim and meniscus guide for coating stripes at low web speeds (0.1-5 m min-1). The light weight alloy and PEEK heads allow for ultrafast positioning on automated coating platforms.
