KATOP: Driving the Green Revolution in Hydrogen Energy Equipment Manufacturing

In the context of growing global demand for clean energy and the “Dual Carbon” goals, hydrogen, as a zero-emission energy source, has become a critical component in the energy transition of various countries. Hydrogen is used in areas such as fuel cell-powered vehicles and power generation, earning it the title of the ultimate energy source of the 21st century. In China, the pressure to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector has driven the rapid development of new energy vehicles, with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles standing out due to their zero-carbon emission advantage, making them an important direction for development.

As a key equipment supplier in the lithium battery industry, KATOP leverages its rich experience and advanced manufacturing technology to actively seek new business growth points in response to industry changes and market demands, introducing coating technologies accumulated from the lithium battery industry into the fields of hydrogen energy and fuel cells.

From Lithium Batteries to Hydrogen Energy, KATOP Opens a New Track

KATOP has been deeply involved in coating processes for nearly two decades, delivering thousands of various types of coating machines to domestic and international clients. Based on years of accumulated coating process expertise, KATOP has introduced a series of hydrogen production solution coating equipment, including CCM coater, Coater for Fuel Cell Experiment, Coater for Hydrogen Production from Electrolytic Water, GDL coater (slot die/coating knife/immersion), and alkaline membrane coating equipment, providing a one-stop hydrogen energy coating solution.

CCM Coater: Used for fuel cell CCM membrane electrode coating, with a coating width of 300mm, featuring online size, alignment, and defect detection functions. Both the cathode and anode use direct extrusion coating methods, compatible with intermittent, continuous, and zebra patterns, improving coating efficiency and slurry utilization.

Coater for Fuel Cell Experiment : Used for fuel cell process verification and slurry formula adjustment, offering high precision, good safety, and compatibility with multiple types of slurry.

Coater for Hydrogen Production from Electrolytic Water: Suitable for PEM electrolysis water hydrogen production, with a coating width of 600mm, using a slot die extrusion method to achieve compatibility with intermittent, continuous, and zebra patterns, and equipped with an online inspection system.

GDL Coater: Suitable for GDL coating processes, integrating unwinding, coating, and drying functions, supporting high-temperature tape operations to ensure material integrity without deformation.
