Abstract
A coating installation is provided for a paper mill to apply a coating to at least one surface of a continuous web of paper. To reduce catastrophic damage to the web of paper passing through the coating installation, a continuous support belt is provided for supporting the web entirely through and beyond the location at which the coating is applied to the web. The continuous support belt is formed from a smooth dimensionally stable material exhibiting appropriate stiffness and compressibility for a particular coating application.
