Aplitek XL

Large Format Automatic Film Applicator

Aplitek XL

Greater sample capacity: accepts formats up to 500 × 298 mm and application lengths up to 500 mm

Greater sample capacity: accepts formats up to 500 × 298 mm and application lengths up to 500 mm.

The preparation of uniform and repeatable films is essential to ensure the reliability of laboratory tests on coatings: hiding power, gloss, colour, adhesion, drying time or abrasion resistance.

The Aplitek XL Automatic Film Applicator has been designed for larger samples, eliminating the variability associated with manual application and ensuring homogeneous, high-quality layers with every test.

Like the Compact model, the XL combines precision, robustness and ease of use, but with a much larger application area, making it the ideal solution for R&D laboratories, quality control and industrial environments where large-format samples are required.

Application

  • Preparation of samples of paints, varnishes, adhesives, inks and special coatings in large formats.
  • Ideal for colour formulation, comparative studies and quality control tests.
  • Precise linear movement with configurable speeds from 40 to 200 mm/s (16 levels).
  • Compatible with multiple types of applicators, including spiral bars up to 300 mm (350 mm total with support).
  • Ergonomic design with wide screen and controls, resistant to demanding working environments.

Features

  • Greater sample capacity: accepts formats up to 500 × 298 mm and application lengths up to 500 mm.
  • Assured repeatability: eliminates operator-to-operator differences.
  • Robust, spill-resistant construction: anti-graffiti screen and paint collection tray.
  • Toughened glass base to ensure sample flatness.
  • Full compatibility with standard applicators and spiral bars (specific clamping accessory required).

FAQS

Because many properties of the coating, such as gloss, colour, adhesion, hardness, drying time or chemical resistance, depend directly on the applied thickness. Any variation can alter the results obtained.

The speed can influence the deposited thickness, levelling and uniformity of the film. Maintaining a constant speed helps to achieve more reproducible and comparable results.

Yes. By minimising application variations, inconsistent results and the need to repeat tests are reduced, improving laboratory efficiency and the reliability of the data obtained.
