APPLICATOR MECHANISM

摘要

A method and an applicator mechanism for coating and finishing a running web are provided. The mechanism includes a rough dosing device for receiving and coating a running web. The rough dosing device includes a first opposed roll for contacting and supporting the running web and an applicator roll for applying a coating to the web. A finish dosing device is located downstream from the rough dosing device and finishes the coating applied to the running web. The finish dosing device includes a second opposed roll which contacts and supports the running web along with a scraping element which scrapes the running web to finish it. The rough and finish dosing devices are arranged so that the running web follows a path through the mechanism, the path being adapted to inhibit centrifugal forces from being placed on the running web which cause irregular deformation of the coating applied to the web before it is finished.
