COATING APPARATUS AND COATING METHOD

摘要

A coating apparatus in which a cleaning liquid containing a coating fluid mixed therewith (i.e., a liquid mixture) can be reclaimed so as to enable reutilization while conducting a priming/cleaning treatment. The apparatus comprises: a priming-roller cleaning means which may include a nozzle capable of ejecting a cleaning liquid; a recovery means which may include a vessel such as tanks (13a and 13b) for recovering the cleaning liquid mixed with a coating fluid; a reclamation means comprising a separating means which includes heaters (21a and 21b) and a cooling tower (24) and separates a reclaimed cleaning liquid from the liquid mixture; and a supply means which supplies the reclaimed cleaning liquid to the priming-roller cleaning means.
