A coating device where the pressurized coating space formed between the doctor element and the material web and/or the counter roll carrying it is defined by a regulating plate on the inlet side relative to the material web. A guide device is so arranged in the coating space that coating mixture will circulate around it on all sides in one direction of rotation. The guide device generally leaves only relatively narrow flow channels open in the coating chamber so that harmful turbulent flows are extensively avoided which through pulsating air inclusions might lead to defects in the applied coating.

Device for coating traveling material webs

A coating material is transferred to the surface of a spreader-roll from a spreader-mechanism. The spreader-roll is partly wrapped by a strip of material. In the location where the said strip of material is lifted off the spreader-roll, a doctor-element, comprising a doctor-blade, is arranged to rest tangentially on the spreader-roll. The doctor-element thereby forms a rubbing distributing surface which faces the strip of material and ensures a smooth and uniform coating of the coating material on the strip of material. The strip of material is then carried away over a sharp tear-off edge on the doctor-element at an angle of less than 20.degree.. In this way a coating of any desired thickness may be applied to a strip of material, more particularly as a coating for a strip of paper.
