Abstract
Coating apparatus is provided for use in coating a sheet of goods which is carried on a counter-roller. The coating apparatus includes a coating zone which is formed along the sheet to be coated. At least one deflector is provided in the coating zone for deflecting the return flow of coating material deflected at the coating blade to a divergence angle of less than 90 degrees relative to the emerging flow of fresh coating material from the outlet port of the chamber containing the coating material. In general, angle of divergence between the two opposing flows of coating material is less than 60 degrees. In this manner, the amount of agitation and turbulence in the flow of material is minimized.
