Coated web manufacturing machine

摘要

A manufacturing machine for manufacturing a wrapping paper web for cigarettes with a low ignition propensity has a coating device (3) at a coating position defined in a travel path (2) of web (W). The coating device (3) has a rotary screen (4) and a gravure roller (6) located on the opposite sides of the travel path (2) and functioning as back rollers for each other. The rotary screen (4) intermittently applies a liquid burning inhibitor onto one side of the web (W) to form a number of band layers (B) arranged at predetermined intervals in a travelling direction of the web (W), and the gravure roller (6) applies water onto the other side of the web (W) to form wet bands (A) arranged alternately with the band layers (B) in the traveling direction of the web (W).

主权项

1. A coated web manufacturing machine comprising:
a travel path adapted for traveling web, said travel path including a coating position defined in said travel path, a coating device located at the coating position of said travel path, said coating device including: a first applicator for applying a first coating liquid onto one side of the web, and a second applicator for applying a second coating liquid onto an opposite side of the web, the second coating liquid being different from the first coating liquid, and a dryer interposed in said travel path to be located downstream of said coating device, for drying the web, wherein each of the first and second applicators includes a plate cylinder for applying the first and second coating liquids onto the web, and wherein the first and second applicators alternately apply the first and second coating liquids onto the web at the coating position, such that first and second coating bands of the first and second coating liquids are arranged alternately on the opposite sides of the web, in a longitudinal direction of the web, said first coating liquid forming band layers on the one side of the web, the band layers extending in a direction intersecting the web across the full width of the web and the second coating liquid forming wet bands on the opposite side of the web, the wet bands extending in a direction intersecting the web across the full width of the web so that the band layers and the wet bands are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the web reducing formation of wrinkles in the web, said band layers and the wet bands substantially evenly wet the web, the second applicator further includes a furnisher roller which is in rolling contact with the plate cylinder of the second applicator and a liquid pool defined at an upper nip area between the plate cylinder and the furnisher roller, the liquid pool storing the second coating liquid so as to supply a circumferential surface of the plate cylinder with the second coating liquid, the first coating liquid is a liquid burning inhibitor, and the second coating liquid is water, the web is wrapping paper for cigarettes, wherein the plate cylinder of the first applicator includes a rotary screen, the plate cylinder of the second applicator is a gravure roller, and wherein the first applicator and the second applicator are on the opposite sides of the web, the rotary screen of the plate cylinder of the first applicator functions as a back roller for the gravure roller, and the gravure roller of the plate cylinder of the second applicator functions as a back roller for the rotary screen of the first applicator, wherein said coating device further includes: a drive source for rotating the rotary screen and the gravure roller in sync with each other to alternately form the band layers of the liquid burning inhibitor and the wet bands applied with the water in the longitudinal direction of the web, the drive source having a drive motor common to the rotary screen and the gravure roller, and a gear train for transmitting a drive force from the drive motor to the rotary screen and the gravure roller.
