Abstract
A coating station for an apparatus and method used to coat at least one side of a pontinuous strip of material includes a housing having a conduit that connects to a source of coating material, a fluid dispensing passageway and a wick that contacts the strip. The passageway has an intake port and a discharge port. A metering member is interposed in the passageway, and a drive rotates it about an axis between the intake and discharge ports. The metering member has a metering bore, and a reciprocating metering piston is disposed in the bore. The metering member may be a cylindrical shaft, and one or more metering bores extend diametrically through the shaft with each being provided with a piston to dispense predetermined amounts of coating material onto the strip.
