Description
The BGD 218/3 Automatic Film Applicator series is designed to provide highly precise and reproducible coating films on a wide range of substrates, addressing the limitations of manual draw-down methods. With stepless speed regulation from 5 mm/s up to 500 mm/s, adjustable push rod height, and customizable starting points, the applicators ensure consistent film thickness and superior repeatability. The advanced vacuum bed and coating film holder provide secure substrate adhesion, even for flexible or uneven panels, while the external vacuum pump minimizes vibration, further enhancing measurement accuracy. These features make the BGD 218 ideal for laboratories, quality control, and research applications where reliable coating evaluation is essential.
Available in multiple models, the BGD 218 series accommodates different substrate sizes and heating requirements, with options for touch screen operation and clamping or vacuum fixation. The robust design combines high-precision linear guides, optional heating up to 100°C, and optimized suction distribution to ensure smooth operation. Lightweight yet durable, these applicators offer versatility for experimental chemists and industrial users, supporting various wire bars and block applicators. Overall, the BGD 218 enables accurate, efficient, and reproducible application of coating films, improving quality control and reducing variability in paint, coating, and ink testing processes.
