Applicator (stainless steel) 2 gaps as desired – VF8101

TQC Bird-type film applicator with one flat edge. One application side for applying 1 pre-defined thickness. The TQC Bird-type applicator single gap is available in film width 50 and 75 mm and suitable for applying a host of different products onto flat and relatively solid substrates. The high-grade stainless steel will not be affected by acid or base elements.

Some models are equipped with removable guidance plates for straight application.

We can not give guarantee of the wet thickness that will be obtained. The wet thickness is dependent upon the solids and vehicle content of the wet material as well as other factors. Film thickness deposited may vary from 40% to 80% of the actual gate clearance of the TQC Bird-type film applicator.

Material:
DAIDO 440C medical grade Martensitic stainless tool steel.
Sub Zero Vacuum hardened (+1756°C  to -70°C), hardness HRC 55 (through hardened*) & tempered.

*Through hardening versus Case-hardening or surface hardening.

Through-hardening means the metal uniformly is hardened throughout the piece. Case- or surface (face / frame) hardening only hardens the top layer of the metal. Once the top layer is degraded excessive wear and tear will occur on the product limiting its life time and affecting accuracy.
