30-27 K Paint Applicator
INTRODUCTION
The K Control Coater widely used for the application of paints, varnishes, adhesives, liquid printing inks and many other surface coatings to produce quick, accurate and repeatable samples. These may then be used for quality control and presentation purposes, R& D and computer colour matching data etc. These are elements vital to a company's success in the modern world.
FEATURES
- Controlled speed and pressure ensures repeatable results
- Coating by wire wound bars or gap applicators
- Easy to use, easy to clean
- Two models offering coated areas up to
- 170 x 250mm (6.7 x 9.8 in)
- 325 x 250mm (12.8 x 9.8 in)
- Multiple coatings in one operation for comparison purposes
- Standard coating speeds infinitely variable between 2 and 15m/min
- Vacuum, magnetic, heated and glass beds available
GAP APPLICATORS
Micrometer Adjustable Applicator
This applicator incorporates an adjustable spreading blade with micrometers to accurately set the substrate/blade gap from 0 - 10mm in 10µm increments, providing a most versatile tool. It gives a coating width of 100 mm or 200mm and produces a wet film thickness of 50-80% of the gap setting.
Bird Applicator
Precision ground all over, these stainless steel applicators provide a coating width of 100mm and are available with gap sizes of 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 or 200μm. These wet film thickness produced is 50-80% of the gap size.
Cube Film Applicator
Made of precision ground stainless steel, the cube film applicator provides a coating width of 41mm. Each applicator is supplied with two gap sizes:- 50 and 100μm or 150 and 200μm. The wet film thickness is about 50% of the gap size.
4-Sided Applicator
This device enables the user to coat four separate film thicknesses with a single applicator. Providing a coating width of 60mm, the 4-sided applicator is supplied approximately equal to 50% of the gap size and providing a wet film thickness of half the gap size.
K-Wedge Bar
The K Wedge Bar is an economical form of fixed gap applicator, produced by winding wire on to a stainless steel rod, as illustrated. Gaps between 50µm and 1500µm are available in 50µm steps. The wet film thickness is approximately equal to gap size and a coating width of 100mm or 200mm is produced.
SPECIAL PURPOSE COATING BEDS
Specialised coating beds are available to ensure the best possible results for particular applications. Each is suggested for different types of substrate.
Vacuum Bed
A smooth aluminium faced bed with vacuum applied via multiple holes over the entire surface, suitable for more rigid substrates. Especially recommended when coating on to paint charts with gap applicators.
Magnetic Bed
For use when coating on to magnetic substrates (such as tin plate) to ensure a flat surface. Permanent magnets are used and are operated by an on/off key.
Headed Bed
For use when applying coatings which require heating (such as hot melts). The bed has a smooth aluminium face which can be heated up to 200°C and is set by a digital temperature controller.
