Mid-Scale Parylene Coating Equipment for Industrial Production
KR-Series Systems for Medical, Aerospace & Electronics Manufacturing
Mid-scale Parylene coating equipment from SCH Services is designed for organisations that need stable, repeatable industrial production without yet requiring the very largest systems. These installations support medium-to-high volumes, multi-shift operation and demanding quality requirements.
We supply KR-series mid-scale systems that are widely suited to medical, aerospace, defence and electronics manufacturing. They combine robust vacuum performance, controlled process modules and chamber capacities matched to serious production throughput.
As with all SCH projects, these systems are delivered as part of a turnkey, knowledge-transfer package – including process setup, training, dimers, fixturing and long-term technical support.
What Is Mid-Scale Parylene Coating Equipment?
Mid-scale Parylene coating equipment is engineered for continuous production environments where throughput, uptime and consistency are critical, but where the absolute largest chamber size is not yet required. These systems sit between compact small-production units and large industrial installations.
✅ Chamber volumes sized for regular production batches and mixed part types
✅ Robust vacuum hardware and pump capacity for multi-shift operation
✅ Stable, recipe-controlled processes for repeatable coatings
✅ Lower cost and footprint than the very largest industrial systems
They are typically installed as the main production cell in a factory, or as a key part of a broader coating line supporting multiple product families.
Who Are Mid-Scale Parylene Systems For?
These systems are ideal for manufacturers who need industrial-grade performance and have consistent, ongoing demand for Parylene coatings.
✅ Medical device companies producing implants, instruments and high-reliability components
✅ Aerospace and defence electronics manufacturers
✅ Established coating houses with regular contract volumes
✅ OEMs with multiple product lines requiring Parylene protection
Typical applications include:
⚙ Medical devices and instruments requiring biocompatible, pinhole-free coatings
⚙ Aerospace and defence PCBs, sensors and critical assemblies
⚙ Industrial sensors and electronics exposed to harsh environments
⚙ Higher-volume runs of products previously proven in lab and small production systems
Mid-scale systems are chosen when a business needs serious, predictable capacity while retaining flexibility in part mix and batch size.
KR-Series Mid-Scale Industrial Parylene Systems
Through our partnership with KaryNano, SCH supplies KR-series systems that are well suited to mid-scale industrial production.
📦 KR850HS – vertical side-door system for medium-volume industrial production
📦 KR850HSU – embedded side-door system ideal for cleanroom-integrated installations
These systems offer chamber capacity, pump performance and process stability suited to multi-shift production while maintaining a manageable footprint. The embedded KR850HSU variant allows cleanroom-side loading with grey-area service access, supporting stringent contamination-control requirements.
SCH will help you select the right configuration and options based on your parts, cleanliness needs, throughput and facility layout.
Key Features of Mid-Scale Parylene Coating Equipment
Mid-scale systems are designed to deliver consistent performance over long production campaigns, with a strong focus on reliability and operator control.
✅ Robust vacuum architecture and pump capacity matched to industrial duty
✅ Controlled temperature zones for dimer sublimation, pyrolysis and deposition
✅ Recipe-driven operation for repeatable coating thickness and quality
✅ Chamber volumes optimised for trays, fixtures and mixed part loads
✅ Designed to work with SCH-supplied Parylene dimers and adhesion promoters
Configuration options can include:
⚙ Cleanroom-embedded configuration (KR850HSU) for controlled environments
⚙ Fixture design tailored to your boards, devices or assemblies
⚙ Integration with existing factory utilities, monitoring and maintenance regimes
⚙ Process options to support different Parylene types and thickness ranges
SCH works with your engineering and production teams to ensure the chosen system aligns with quality, capacity and compliance requirements.
The SCH Knowledge-Transfer Advantage for Industrial Lines
For mid-scale installations, the cost of poor process understanding can be very high. SCH’s strength is in transferring real-world Parylene expertise into your factory so the system runs as intended from day one.
✅ We share the same methods we use in our own production coating facility
✅ Full knowledge transfer on masking, adhesion, recipes and defect prevention
✅ Operator and engineer training focused on practical, production-ready skills
✅ Support in building work instructions and quality checks around the process
This approach reduces ramp-up time, minimises scrap and helps ensure that your mid-scale Parylene equipment becomes a stable, dependable part of your manufacturing capability.
Fitting Mid-Scale Systems Into Your Overall Parylene Strategy
Mid-scale equipment often sits alongside other Parylene resources, such as lab units, small production cells or external coating services. SCH can help you define a combined strategy that makes best use of each option.
✅ Move proven recipes from lab and small production into mid-scale lines
✅ Use SCH subcontract coating services to handle surge demand or special jobs
✅ Plan for future expansion into larger industrial systems if volumes increase
✅ Coordinate dimers, consumables and fixturing across multiple machines and sites
The result is a coherent Parylene capability that can evolve with your business, rather than a single machine operating in isolation.
Turnkey Support for Mid-Scale Parylene Installations
Mid-scale projects often involve multiple stakeholders – engineering, production, quality and regulatory teams. SCH provides structured support from planning through to stable production.
✅ Guidance on space, utilities and cleanroom or grey-area layout
✅ Installation and commissioning by engineers experienced with KR-series systems
✅ Process development support using your own parts and quality criteria
✅ Reliable supply of Parylene dimers and consumables and spares
✅ Ongoing technical support for optimisation, troubleshooting and upgrades
Our objective is to leave you with an industrial-ready Parylene line that integrates smoothly into your wider manufacturing and quality systems.
