The Coatema EasyFuelCellCoater II allows accurate, even, and repeatable applications of catalyst solutions to stack elements. The catalyst can be applied to either a carbon layer or a membrane layer.  It is a knife-over-screen coating system designed to make simple and ecomonical the transition from handmade components to precise machine coated components.  The principle of the EFCC II is simple; a precision metering system dispenses the desired amount of ink or paste as the profession quality “doctor blade” spreads the catalyst solution evenly and accurately over the surface to be coated.

A masking screen allows the catalyst solution to touch the surface in only the desired area. Controlling the size, shape and pattern of the coated area.

EasyFuelCellCoaters are already installed at coating research facilities, educational institutions, and manufacturing companies worldwide.  The EasyFuelCellCoater II is one of many laboratory, pilot plant and full production coating and laminating systems available from Coatema.

Most Coatema systems can be seen and tested in the Coatema Technical Center in Dormagen, Germany.  This center provides state of the art technology in coating and laminating and offers a great opportunity for R&D and sample production. Chemical and process experts are on staff at the center.  EurotecUSA, Inc. can assist process developers in the coordination and logistics involved in a visit to the Coatema Technical Center.

• The EFCC II is a knife-over-screen, ink or paste-metering coater.
• New dispenser is adjustable in gap and angle with a precision gauges.
• Micrometers adjust the precision Doctorblade in angle and height.
• The coating ink or paste is p r e c i s e l y spread by the Doctor blade as the coating head moves smoothly over the screen or mask.
• Movement of the head is controlled with a simple handheld device. The substrate is held in place and flat with a vacuum back system.
