In coating doctor apparatus in which an air doctor is used to remove coating from a freshly coated web trained about a backing roll, internal baffles are eliminated and the contours of the coating return chamber are designed using flow control principles so that strong vortices and attendant misting are avoided in the coating return chamber, while at the same time subambient pressures generated along the curved surfaces of the chamber cause strong entrainment of air through the spaces between the edges of the coating chamber and the backing roll and air doctor and prevent coating material from escaping from the coating system.
