Kahl am Main, April 12, 2024 - SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, a leading technology provider for vacuum coating technology, has introduced its new range of state-of-the-art PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) sputtering systems for components for fuel cells and PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzers. The innovative inline systems, which are based on the proven GENERIS PVD platform, set new standards in efficiency and cost-effectiveness. SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES is already successfully coating bipolar plates on a pilot scale with industrial and research partners. With its inline coating systems, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES offers significant advantages over batch systems and thus enables cost-effective production of bipolar plates suitable for series production as demand increases.
An outstanding feature of the PVD systems from Singulus TECHNOLOGIES is the company's extensive process knowledge. The modular GENERIS PVD inline sputtering system from SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES enables the variable deposition of different layers systems and, with a flexible substrate carrier system, offers the possibility of coating bipolar plates in all common sizes. Upstream substrate cleaning and the use of rotating magnetron cathodes ensure double-sided coating with very good adhesion and optimum material utilization, which is particularly beneficial when using expensive precious metals. The controlled application of thin layers is highly efficient and leads to a significant reduction in material consumption, for example when coating with gold.
