Baker Applicator

The Baker applicator NK by NEURTEK provides uniform application and thickness control in coatings, optimizing reproducibility and precision in laboratories and production.

The Baker applicator is a cylindrical instrument designed to apply coating layers with constant thickness on flat surfaces. Made from high-quality stainless steel, it guarantees precision and reproducibility, making it the ideal tool for laboratories, quality control, and industrial processes.

It comes with a protective case that facilitates transport and storage, ensuring durability and safety of the instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What specific thicknesses can I apply with the Baker applicator?
The Baker applicator allows constant-thickness films in two ranges: 30–60–90–120 μm or 50–100–150–200 μm, depending on the selected model. This makes it ideal for laboratory or production thickness control tests.

Can it be used with automatic or motorized applicators?
Yes. Its cylindrical design allows manual use or mounting on motorized application equipment to achieve reproducibility and uniformity with each pass.

What advantages does it have over other applicator types, such as square or spiral?
The Baker applicator uses a cylinder for continuous and uniform application, especially suited for large flat surfaces, whereas other applicators (square or spiral) are better for applying multiple thicknesses in a single pass or very thin spiral layers.

What is the useful application width, and can it be customized?
Standard models have 50 mm or 80 mm of useful width, but NEURTEK offers custom manufacturing on request for specific laboratory or production needs.
