DEK Solutions for Alternative Energies
 DEK Solutions for Commercial Fuel Cell Production
Alternative Energies; Set to Go Mainstream
A critical proportion of the world’s consumers now believe in – and want - secure, low-carbon energy. As a pioneer in this field, your research has helped to demonstrate that solutions are within reach.
Now is the time to convert that consumer belief into lasting improvements in energy supply and environmental footprint.
Work with DEK to move forward confidently into high-volume manufacturing.
A Stable and Capable Partner
DEK is the global technology and market leader for precision screen printing of materials in advanced electronic devices. Today’s advanced ICs and feature-rich products are built using DEK equipment and processes for depositing solder pastes, fluxes, precision adhesives, conductive inks and thick-film materials.
DEK began delivering screen printing platforms for thick-film electronic devices and solar cell production in the early 70's, and established principles that have underpinned the digital electronics sector ever since. We also pioneered high-speed inline printing for fine-pitch surface mount assembly; a key enabler for advanced products at consumer price-points.
Our customer base now includes the world's largest electronic manufacturers, supported by DEK technical centres throughout Europe, Asia and the USA delivering process, service and spare-parts support; on a local basis, 24/7.
DEK is a stable, secure and capable partner, with global credentials, to help you deliver commercial fuel cells and solar cells for world markets.
Global Technology Innovator
The Alternative Energies business unit is located at DEK’s worldwide headquarters in Weymouth, UK, and works closely with our machine builders, process engineers and international technical network.
We also have our own emulsion screens centre, operating to class 10,000 cleanroom standards, at our centre in Weymouth. As the only equipment and process expert to have precision screen capabilities in-house, we are uniquely able to deliver total process support to our customers.
Alternative Energies Partner
DEK is already active with leading energy researchers to develop commercial manufacturing solutions. Our experience with advanced materials and processes, high-speed inline production equipment, and worldwide customer-support infrastructure deliver solutions that work in the real world.
Solutions Going Forward
Precision screen printing delivers clear advantages in cost-per-unit, quality, repeatability and scalability for commercial manufacture of fuel cell and solar cell components.
DEK has perfected high-speed processes capable of depositing a wide variety of polymer materials, dielectrics and metallisation layers, with thickness accurate to within just a few micron.
Void-free printing produces high-quality substrates for fuel cells
Today’s maximum print resolution exceeds requirements for next generation solar cell manufacturing, to create finer features for improved efficiency.
Other materials including adhesives, conductive inks and non-conductive compounds can also be deposited with high positional accuracy and repeatability.
DEK’s background in thick film hybrid and electronic surface mount assembly is critical in minimising wastage of high-value materials in fuel cell and solar cell components.
And you can benefit from our experience with multinational manufacturers, to scale capacity quickly to meet predicted increases in global demand.
