BAMR is now an authorised distributor of BEVS testing instruments for paint, coatings, ink and resin. Labs and QC teams in South Africa can now buy these instruments locally and get them supported and serviced here.
Since 1946, BAMR has helped Southern African industry measure coatings and corrosion. BEVS adds intelligent testing instruments and lab systems to the range we offer.
Who is BEVS?
BEVS Industrial (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd was founded in 2003. It develops and makes intelligent testing instruments and laboratory automation systems. The company is headquartered in the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development District, China.
BEVS instruments support quality control and R&D in coatings, inks, resins, rubber, plastics, new energy and new materials. They are built to international test methods, including ISO, ASTM, DIN, BS and EN.
Over two decades, BEVS has built a strong record of innovation:
- 100+ instruments and automation systems developed
- 130+ national patents and 9 software copyrights
- 16 national and group standards it helped develop
- Recognised as a National High-Tech Enterprise, and as a Specialized and Innovative Enterprise in Guangdong Province
Why we chose BEVS
We chose BEVS because our customers kept asking for one thing: reliable, standards-compliant lab equipment at a practical price.
- Built to recognised standards. Every result needs to hold up to an ISO or ASTM specification. BEVS designs its instruments around those methods.
- More of the lab from one trusted supplier. BEVS covers a broad range of lab testing and automation, so customers can equip more of their lab through BAMR.
- Good value. BEVS gives smaller labs and growing manufacturers access to equipment that used to be out of reach.
What BEVS instruments can you get through BAMR?
BEVS instruments are available to order through BAMR in four key areas.
Weathering and corrosion chambers
Salt spray, UV and xenon chambers that simulate years of exposure in weeks. The BEVS Multifunction UV Weather Tester exposes coated and material specimens to UV light, rain, condensation and humidity.

Laboratory automation
Automated systems that run repeat tests with less operator time. The BEVS 3168H Automated Particle Analyzer automates the fineness of grind test with a camera and AI image analysis.

Sample preparation
Mixing, dispersing and spray application equipment for preparing batches and test panels, such as the BEVS 2506 Intelligent Mixer and the BEVS 1829 EXP Automatic Panel Sprayer.

Beyond coatings
Testing for rubber, plastics, new energy and new materials.

- Expert advice: not sure which instrument a standard calls for? We'll help you choose the right one before you buy.
