The Lab Maker is a system to realize a belt of coated abrasives. It has been developed to recreate the same environment of a real production line (Maker). Made of all the necessary units to perform a complete coated abrasive production process, the Lab Maker includes: Make Coater, HV Electro Strewing System, Gravity Grain Strewing, Size Coater.

The system is compact and can easily fit inside a lab. An oven to cure the product obtained from the lab maker is necessary.
