The invention relates to a method and device for reducing the volume or pressure of a fluid which is driven through an opening ( ) by moving surfaces. According to said method, the opening ( ) is divided in at least two flow channels ( ) by means of one or more flexible separation members ( ). Each separation member ( ) is attached at its rear end relatively to the direction of displacement of said surfaces, and its front finishing end extends inside said opening ( ). The inventive method can be advantageously implemented during production and further transformation of strip-shaped materials (paper, cardboard strips, plastic material sheets) for bringing the strip which moves on an element (cylinder, roll, rigid guiding element, winding reel) into close contact with said element.

Known doctor rods ( ) used as dosing elements in coating devices have a cylindrical steel base body on whose cover surface a chromium or ceramic layer of hard material is applied. According to the invention, the cracks and craters in the layer of hard material are closed by a joint which is produced by means of an ion implantation process, by the hard material reacting with the ions applied in a plasma. The improved doctor rods have a longer service life than known doctor rods.
