Biuged BGD 218 Automatic Film Applicator (Vacuum Bed Series)

The Biuged BGD 218 Automatic Film Applicator is a professional‑grade coating film preparation system designed to deliver precise, repeatable drawdowns across a wide range of substrates. By automating the film‑application process, the BGD 218 eliminates inconsistencies caused by manual drawdown, ensuring superior reproducibility for laboratory testing, R&D, and quality‑control workflows. Its vacuum‑bed design provides exceptional substrate stability, making it ideal for high‑accuracy coating evaluations.

Key Features

• Wide‑Range Stepless Speed Regulation

Adjustable drawdown speeds from 5–500 mm/s allow users to optimize application conditions for coatings of different viscosities and performance requirements.

• High‑Precision Linear Guide System

Ensures smooth, stable, and consistent movement of the applicator tool, significantly improving film uniformity and repeatability.

• Vacuum Bed for Superior Substrate Stability

The BGD 218 uses a vacuum bed to hold test panels firmly in place, preventing slippage and ensuring perfectly even drawdowns—especially important for thin or flexible substrates.

• Flexible Applicator Holder

Designed to accommodate various applicator weights and styles, giving laboratories the freedom to work with multiple coating tools.

• Adjustable Applicator Pusher Height

Allows the system to adapt to different substrate thicknesses, improving versatility across diverse testing materials.

• Enhanced Reproducibility

By controlling shear rate and downward force—two critical factors in film formation—the BGD 218 significantly improves the consistency of paint and coating films.

Ideal Applications

• Paint and coating R&D

• Quality‑control film preparation

• Comparative testing of viscosity, opacity, gloss, and drying behavior

• Standardized drawdowns for laboratory analysis

• Coating performance evaluations requiring high repeatability
