Technical Description
The Centrifugal Film Applicator, Model 334 Smart, is designed for the even application of coatings on specimen panels. It ensures defined film thickness, offering economic advantages and high accuracy and reproducibility, particularly useful for consistent or extremely thin coatings.
Design and Function
This bench-mounted instrument includes a sheet metal housing, control panel, specimen holder with a collecting trough, and a protective hood. The rotation speed and application time are adjustable between 100 - 2,000 min-1 and 0 - 999 seconds, respectively. The device automatically switches off after the preset time, and safety features prevent hood lifting until the holder stops completely. The specimen holder and trough are removable for cleaning.
Application Method
Specimen panels are centered using locating screws, with a glass plate attachment available for fragile specimens. Coating material (5 - 10 g) is applied to the center, and the specimen rotates at a preset speed and time. Optimal conditions depend on the coating's viscosity, density, and solid content. The centrifugal force ensures even distribution, with surplus material collected in the trough. Thixotropic paints may vary in thickness.
