Lot Division

1 Screen Printer

Screen Printer We require a screen printer system capable of printing on ceramic / metallic substrates with a high degree of control. The primary purposes of this instrument are: Electrode/electrolyte printing onto ceramic substrates for solid oxide fuel cell applications
2 Belt Oven

Belt Oven We require a belt oven system capable of working with ceramic substrates with a high degree of control. The primary purposes of this instrument are: Drying thick-film layers of ceramic (deposited by screen printing) onto metallic / ceramic substrates for solid oxide fuel cell applications
3 Particle Size Analyser

Particle Size Analyser We require a particle size analyser for size range 0.01 - 3500 microns.
4 Rheometer

Rheometer We desire an instrument capable of measuring the way in which slurries flow in response to applied forces.
5 Scanning Electron Microscope

Scanning Electron Microscope We require a SEM capable for electron and Energy-dispersive X-ray analyses that balances high throughputs with high performance. Ideally, we would like a desktop instrument which can be easily used with minimal training.
6 Triple Roller Mill

Triple Roller Mill We require a triple roller mill that is compact, easy to keep clean preventing cross contamination and suitable for research needs working with ceramic materials.
7 Laser Cutter

Laser Cutter Required components: - Capable of cutting plastic, metal and ceramic at least 1-2 mm thick. - Both honeycomb and knife blade supports.
