Small Blade Coater Tester

The small-scale blade Coater test machine uses a motor to drive the blade to move uniformly over the substrate, evenly spreading the coating to a specified thickness. It is used to simulate coating processes and test coating uniformity, hiding power, and leveling. It is suitable for the formulation development and process parameter adjustment of laboratory coatings and inks.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the coating width to the sample size, ensure the accuracy of the blade gap adjustment meets thickness requirements, and the substrate clamping method should ensure flatness. The motor should operate smoothly with adjustable speed. The structural material should be corrosion-resistant, and the operation interface should be simple. Choose the appropriate model based on the viscosity of commonly used coatings.
