At SCHLICK Test & Research Center the company‘s recognised experts use their knowledge to perfect the very latest in measurement technology.

The center’s modular and flexible test rigs are used to simulate complex spray and coating situations over an area of 500 m².

This results in test set-ups that correspond with real-world production conditions on the market.

The SCHLICK Test & Research Center –
Measuring and checking for the best spraying result

Test runs under real-world conditions
The high-tech lab is used by companies from all industries to find solutions to a wide range of issues under practical conditions. Tests and measurements are carried out with the customer’s own substances and samples. SCHLICK experts document the results, hold in-depth discussions on optimisation options and implement prototypes.

At its over 500 m2 premises, the STRC brings together the very latest measuring and testing equipment. The following facilities are available for the evaluation of sprays from one-, two- and multiple-substance nozzles and for the evaluation of customers’ materials:

Performance overview

The services offered by Schlick range from simple measurements with the appropriate records to detailed testing reports with discussion of the results and suggestions for improvements to processes. The results obtained can be immediately put to use in the development of prototype solutions. Schlick has a database of over 90,000 tested solutions to help it in this task.
