Abstract
There is described an apparatus () for coating a cylinder (C), in particular a wiping cylinder of an intaglio printing press, with a plastic composition comprising, inter alia, heating means () for applying radiant heat to the cylinder throughout its length, the heating means being disposed in a movable hood part () adapted to be moved on top of the cylinder for applying heat thereto or away from the cylinder to allow mounting or dismounting of the cylinder (C) on or from the apparatus. In the closed state, the hood part forms an interior space enclosing the cylinder. The hood part includes a hood body () and a window panel () mounted on a front side of said hood body to allow a human operator to monitor deposition of the plastic composition onto the surface of the cylinder. The hood body and window panel are constructed in such a manner that, when the hood part is moved on top of the cylinder, the window panel lies above the position where the coating unit () cooperates with the cylinder during coating.
