For the application of a coating material onto a running material web, particularly a paper or cardboard web, a cylinder guides the web of material while a dosing element extends over the work width and has a surface which together with the cylinder forms an application gap converging in the travel direction of the web. In order to be able to apply various coating materials at high web speeds evenly and without disturbances, even at low application weights, the dosing element is supported swingably about an axis parallel to the cylinder, the radius of its surface guiding the coating material increases continuously in the travel direction of the web up to the dosing line and the surface ends at the dosing line with an edge whose radius is less than 8 mm.

Method and apparatus for coating a material web, especially a paper web

A device for coating a web of material, especially a web of paper or cardboard, that travels around a backing roll, with a coating roll that scoops liquid coating from a chamber and demarcates in conjunction with the backing roll a coating nip, and with a flow-control system including a final flow controller and an initial flow controller upstream thereof in the direction that the web travels in and demarcating in conjunction with the backing roll an initial flow-control nip. The device has a non-resiliently supported initial flow controller that extends into the vicinity of the coating nip and demarcates it in the form of a chamber at the outlet end, whereby the initial flow-control nip remains open to the backing roll and to an outflow channel to the coating roll.

Device for coating a web of material traveling around a backing roll

A method and device for coating a web (2) of material, especially a web of paper or cardboard, traveling over a backing roll (1) wherein coating is applied to the web is excess and reduced by a flow-control component (3), especially a doctor, to the desired thickness and wherein the flow-control component is secured to a beam (5) that extends over the operating width. The coating-thickness deviation from a straight line is determined over the operating width and employed as a parameter for controlling the heat emitted by a heater (16), especially heating strips, positioned on the side of the doctor beam facing away from the backing roller.

Method and device for coating webs of material, especially webs of paper

A known device for continuously coating a web (1) of material traveling around a backing roller (2), especially a web of paper or cardboard, with a resilient doctor blade (3) that is secured at the foot to a pivoting doctor beam (4) and with an element (10) for supporting the doctor blade above where it is secured to the side that faces away from the backing roller, whereby the attachment (8) of the foot of the doctor blade can be set independently of the supporting element to adjust the pressure of the doctor blade against the backing roller. The device has means (13-22) for pivoting the doctor beam to compensate for the change in the angle of the point of the doctor blade that results when the foot of the doctor blade is set.

Device for coating a web of material

A device for coating a web of material traveling around a backing roller, with a flexible doctor having a foot secured in a clamping beam and a point supported by a supporting strip and with pressure-adjusting mechanisms positioned above the width of the doctor and acting independently of each other on individual points on the doctor. The pressure-adjusting mechanisms below the supporting strip act on the doctor. In another embodiment, the pressure-adjusting mechanisms consist of several adjacent chambers that extend over the operating width and can be independently pressurized, each with an elastic wall that faces the doctor.

Device for coating a web of material traveling around a backing roller

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for continuously applying a uniform coating to a material web (5), in particular a paper or cardboard web, travelling over a back roller (6), to which the coating material is applied at low pressure by means of a coating roller (2) and with guidance by a guide plate (8) into the coating gap (7) formed by the back roller and the coating roller, whereupon the coating material is metered by a metering member (15) and in the region of a layer close to the material web is partly drained in order to form a barrier layer and final metering takes place in a final metering device (23) by means of a final metering member (24) with low contact pressure. Due to a three-stage method of this type and the apparatus suitable therefore, even at comparatively high material web speeds, constant good coating qualities can even be achieved with extremely low coating weights.

Apparatus for continuously applying a uniform coating to a material web

A device for coating webs of material traveling over a backing roll to a controlled thickness, in which the coating material can be applied to the web with a slotted nozzle that extends over the total width of the web and in which the nozzle has an initial-flow regulation gap downstream of which a flow-regulation lip and an excess-removal lip demarcate a flow-regulation chamber. To allow more uniform and higher-quality application of the coating medium and, in particular, to ensure heavier coating weights and improved web printability with simple means, a barrier that demarcates the flow-regulation chamber from the traveling web of material is positioned to the vicinity of the excess-removal lip. The barrier can consist of a knife-like sheet-metal spring, of a roll, of a strip, or of a jet directed opposite to the direction in which the web is traveling. The barrier prevents an isolating layer of air from penetrating into the flow-regulation chamber.

Device for coating webs of material traveling over a backing roll to a

A device for coating continuous webs with regulable coating strength by means of a doctor rod that rests against the coated side of the web, that is mounted in a doctor bed, and that can be elastically forced with regulable pressure against the web being coated. The doctor rod is a doctor batten that moves with little friction along at least one overflow-side slide face of a rigid doctor bed. The face of the doctor batten toward the web that is being coated is rectangular and demarcates in conjunction with the web a narrowing coating-material application gap with a geometry that depends on the degree of contact pressure. The upper edge of the face constitutes a straight and sharp stripping edge. The face and stripping edge of the doctor batten are flexible. Its face is highly resistant to wear. The contact pressure is exerted by an inflatable means of exerting pressure positioned between the batten and the bed.

Device for coating continuous webs

A device for coating a continuous web that travels over a back-up roll. The force of application can be adjusted. The coating material is applied to the web with a slotted applicator pipe. The pipe extends over the width of the web and has a preliminary coating-material flow-regulating gap. The width of the gap can be adjusted. A coating-material flow-regulating lip and a return lip adjoin the gap in such a way as to constitute a coating-material flow-regulating chamber extending over the width of the web. The flow-regulating lip is a doctor bed and has a doctor batten that moves with little friction along at least one overflow-side slide face. The face of the doctor batten toward the web that is being coated is rectangular and demarcates in conjunction with the web a narrowing wedge-shaped gap with a geometry that depends on the degree of contact pressure. The overflow edge of the face is a straight and sharp stripping edge. The face and stripping edge of the doctor batten are flexible. Its face is highly resistant to wear. The doctor batten is forced against the web by an inflatable means of exerting contact pressure between the batten and the bed.

Device for coating a continuous web

A device for unilaterally clamping an elastic doctor blade into a cutting beam. The tension of the blade is varied in relation to a web of material that is to be coated and that runs over a mating roll. The doctor blade rests against the web of material along a doctor line parallel to the cutting beam. The blade is rigidly supported in its midsection along a line of support that is in fixed position with respect to the web of material parallel to the doctor line. The lower edge of the doctor blade can be displaced with respect to the plane of the doctor line and the line of support. The doctor blade is positioned in a longitudinal recess in the cutting beam. The doctor blade is clamped into the longitudinal recess against an elastic resistance in the cutting beam by means of an elastic pressure-medium hose. The lower edge of the doctor blade is guided toward the line of support when displaced out of the plane of the doctor line and the line of support. The geometric relations in the vicinity of the doctor line accordingly remain as unvaried as possible even when the tension on the doctor blade is varied.
