Automatic Coating Applicator Test Machine

The automatic coating applicator uses a motor to drive the blade to move evenly over the substrate, spreading the coating or ink into a uniform wet film. It is used to simulate the coating process and test parameters such as coating thickness, hiding power, and leveling performance. It is applied in quality control across industries such as ink printing, paper coatings, and plastic films.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the scraping speed range should cover actual production needs, with the scraping gap precision controlled at the micrometer level, and the substrate clamping method should accommodate samples of different thicknesses. The equipment should have speed stability, be equipped with various scraper specifications, and feature a simple operation interface for easy coating tests of materials with different viscosities.
