METHOD AND ASSEMBLY FOR COATING A MOVING WEB

摘要

¢57! A method and an assembly for coating a board or paper web (5) with the help of an air knife (4) as the doctoring means comprising a first backing roll (1) which backs the web during the application of the coating mix to the web (5) and a second backing roll (3) around which the web (5) passes after the coat application and which backs the web during the smoothing of the coat with the help of the air knife (4). The invention is based on applying the coating mix to the web (5) with a correct thickness of the coat by means of a slot-orifice applicator apparatus (2). In the applicator apparatus (2) the coating mix flow is directed in a reverse direction to the travel of the web (5) and only a desired portion of the flow is allowed to adhere to the web (5), whereby the critical doctoring process in the region of the air knife (4) can be easily optimized under varying process conditions.
