Gardco introduced the byko-drive XL Automatic Film Applicator, which offers a flexible design to perform drawdowns of coatings and inks. The dry film appearance is impacted by drawdown speed and pressure on the applicator tool.
A programmable speed control from 5 - 500 mm/sec. in 1 mm/sec. increments is standard. Interchangeable weights apply pressure across the entire length of the applicator for a consistent film thickness. The push bar is designed to accommodate a wide variation in wire-rod sizes, applicator bars, applicator frames and film casting knives.
The touchscreen display makes it easy to program the operating parameters: traverse speed, start position and stroke length. There are six memory locations to save routine settings. The byko-drive XL has vacuum plate and glass plate platform versions. The vacuum plate and glass plates are user interchangeable for labs that need both platforms.
