Repeatable
Changes in speed, pressure, and drafting direction can cause irregularities. Other factors that may affect the results are the shear rate and the weight of the applicator. With an automated Film Applicator, these variables are stabilizing. The thickness of the film is uniform over the entire surface. Samples created using an automated Film Applicator are reproducible. A large number of the same laboratory precision can be produced in a short period of time.
Rheological properties
The quality of the applied film is important to study the rheological properties of the applied medium. In order to prepare samples for testing rheological properties, abrasion resistance, hiding power, and gloss, an automated Film Applicator is required. Several types of automated Film Applicators are available for glass/paper/metal substrates or foils.
Applicators and wire rods
Depending on the selected configuration, all models can be combined with a standard block Film Applicator (e.g. Bird/Baker type) or a spiral rod Film Applicator (winding rod type).
Unique interface
Each automatic Film Applicator 'standard' is equipped with the TripleI® navigation tool. Triple I stands for Smart Lighting Interface. This unique navigation tool guides the operator through the interface of the TQC Sheen laboratory machine. At each step of the action menu, the interface detects which buttons are active and indicates them with a bright red center. The result is a very intuitive operating system that is enhanced by information on the machine's display.
Heated bed
The automatic Film Applicator comes standard with a porous heated vacuum Table with a built-in heating pad that raises the table temperature to +100°C above ambient temperature. The powerful heating unit ensures an even temperature distribution throughout the vacuum plate. Set and control the temperature with the TripleI® navigation tool
