About

You are at home in the field of fuel cells, batteries or printed electronics? You experience problems during coating and drying, want to optimise both or want to switch over to slot-die technology? Let me and my colleagues help you! We build your coating and drying lines and components! Whether you are launching a brand new product or optimising an existing one, we will help you so you don't have to worry about coating and drying during the manufacturing process. We take a close look at your product and process and make sure everything runs smoothly by customising and designing our coating and drying equipment to meet the exact needs of you and your product. You take no risks with us, because we take over the process guarantee! Thanks to our university background, we have a great deal of process know-how and know exactly what goes on in our machines and components. Due to many successful projects in which customers were often faced by massive challenges that we were able to solve, we have also acquired a great deal of practical knowledge. We don't just build and sell you a standard machine or system, we know the problems of your product and find solutions. Whether it's binder migration and adhesion in batteries, clogging problems during impregnation for the production of GDLs, sensitive drying of printed electronics, we not only know our products but are also able to understand yours and thus build better production plants and components for you. Feel free to contact us via me on Linkedin or via our website so that we can start exchanging ideas.
