SPRAYING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE APPLICATION OF COATING FLUIDS ONTO CELLULOSIC MXTURES

摘要

A spraying system (100) may be used for applying a coating fluid onto a cellulosic mixture. The spraying system may include a conveyor (120) and spraying apparatus (200). The conveyor (120) may include a cellulosic mixture contacting surface and may be moveable in a conveying direction (122). The spraying apparatus (200) may be operable to deliver coating fluid towards the cellulosic mixture contacting surface. The spraying apparatus (200) may include at least one primary spray nozzle (240) and at least one secondary spray nozzle (250). Each of the at least one primary spray nozzles may be oriented such that it can deliver the coating fluid in a first spray generally opposite the conveying direction (122). Each of the at least one secondary spray nozzles may be oriented such that it can deliver the coating fluid in a second spray generally concurrent with the conveying direction (122).
