Motorised Film Applicator with Vacuum Plate for Paint Drawdowns

Automatic film applicator that draws paint at a constant speed over a test panel held on a vacuum plate. Used by paint labs to prepare uniform wet films for drying, gloss, opacity and adhesion testing.

Specification

A film applicator bar is placed on the glass or panel and moved by a motor at a controlled speed, giving a uniform wet film thickness from 25 to 500 um. The vacuum bed holds thin panels or cards flat. The tool removes operator variability from manual drawdowns.
