The Coloursmith Lab Coater been specifically developed to simulate the same blade coating conditions seen in the majority of production environments. The machine creates a sample which is approximately 300mm in width and a maximum length of 800mm providing the convenience to take at least 3 standard sample swatches from the same coating trial.

This is a significant advantage over other systems on the market today, as is the relative ease of use, compact footprint and lower price when compared on a ‘like for like’ basis with other systems.

The base unit is capable of simulating standard water base coatings of the blade over precision roller or blade in air techniques and comes compete with a simple crush calender and 3 KW drying facility to dry and cure the coatings. A crushing calendar maybe used if applying foamed compounds i.e. if simulating certain “blackout” fabric coatings.

The machine can be provided as a bench mounted unit or as a unit supported on a dedicated frame. It is provided with all its own controls for coating and drying locate. The coating machine can be set up very quickly, is easy to operate and is supplied with an operating and maintenance manual.
