30-15 K Hand Coater

INTRODUCTION

The K Hand Coater provides a simple but effective means of applying paints, printing inks, lacquers, adhesives and other surface coatings onto many substrates. Two or more coatings can be applied side-by-side in a single operation making the system ideal for comparing products.

The K Control Coater is recommended when repeatability is critical such as computer color matching or when a number of operators will be carrying out the test work. This automatic machine has variable speed and a constant pressure exerted between the bar and substrate. (see K Control Coater data sheet)

APPLICATIONS

Paper, board, plastic films, foils, metal plates, glass
plates, wood

FEATURES

• Simple, economical
• Will deposit from 4 to 500 micron wet film thickness.
• Good repeatability with special impression bed.
• Stainless steel rods and wire used for K Bars.
• K Bars are numbered and colour coded.
• Two or more products coated simultaneously for comparison

K BAR COATING

Wired K Bars are produced by winding precision drawn stainless steel wire onto a stainless steel rod resulting in a pattern of identically shaped grooves. These grooves precisely control the wet film thickness. Close wound bars will produce coating thicknesses freom 4 to 120µm. Still higher coating weights up to 500µm can be obtained using spirally wound bars.

STANDARD K BARS

Special K Bars to apply intermediate wet film deposits are manufactured to customer requirements. Wire diameters giving the choice of the following deposits (microns) when close wound are available:

4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 90, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 110, 112, 116, 120, 128, 130, 140, 150.

We also offer both wired and plain smoothing bars to fit all laboratory and production width coaters.
