Abstract:
Assembly for blade coating of a travelling web, comprising a blade (6) and a blade holder (7, 10) for said blade. Said assembly is provided with a foil (9) extending along the full length of the blade (6) and attached to the blade along a line or section extending along the blade at position between a free edge of the blade and an opposite edge thereof attached in said blade holder, said foil having a width so as to cover the blade holder on a side thereof facing said web.
Abstract:
A backing lath (6, 14) used for coating a web of paper or paperboard in doctor blade and rod coaters and film-transfer coaters, the backing lath featuring a fiber-reinforced composite material body. When necessary, the backing lath can be surfaced with a wear-resistant coating. The invention also concerns a doctor element assembly, wherein the backing lath has a fiber-reinforced composite material body.
Abstract:
A doctor blade device for machines for the coating of fibrous webs, in particular of paper or cardboard, and for keeping rotating rollers clean has a leaf-shaped doctor blade element (1) which is held by a holding means (2) and which, for a change, can be drawn out laterally on the holding means (2). The doctor blade element (1) is provided at least on one side with a grip part (8).
Abstract:
In the paper coating operation a wet or dry edge from coating composition is formed on the, seen in the direction of movement of the paper web, downstream side of the doctor, the so-called stalagmite formation. This stalagmite formation leads to various problems in the papermaking process and especially occurs at high speeds of the paper web and/or a high solids content of the coating composition, which two operating conditions are exactly required to obtain a maximum paper yield and a high paper quality. According to the invention the stalagmite formation is effectively prevented by supplying a fluid inhibiting the stalagmite formation to an area bounded, on the one hand, by the paper web and, on the other hand, by the above side of the doctor blade.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for producing paperboard, the method comprising the steps of applying a coating mix layer having a thickness greater than that of the final coat thickness to the surface of the web being coated using a coating mix formulation in which the solids content is at least 55%, passing the web with the coat applied thereto to a doctor blade located downstream in the travel direction of the web at a distance from the applicator apparatus such that the dwell time from the application step of the coating mix to the doctoring step is at least 130 ms, and smoothing the coat layer to its final thickness by means of a doctor blade. By this method a smooth surface can be obtained even on high coat weights.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for applying a fluid or pasty medium to a continuous material web, particularly one made of paper or cardboard, having at least one application unit (1) for the fluid or pasty medium, comprising a roll (2) assigned to the application unit (1) for receiving the fluid or pasty medium in the case of an indirect application or for supplying the web in the event of a direct application, further comprising an application blade (6), and a cleaning blade (7) arranged against the direction of rotation (P) of the roll (2) at a distance from the application blade (6), the cleaning blade (7) limiting by means of the application blade (6) an application chamber (5) for the fluid or pasty medium and having a blade element (12) extending across the width of the web and arranged within a blade base (13). The blade element (12) is movably arranged in a direction running essentially parallel to its longitudinal extension.
Abstract:
An apparatus for blade coating of a travelling web, preferably a paper web, comprising means for supporting and feeding of the web and a doctor blade extending across the web and engaging the web along a first long-side thereof for evening out a coating composition applied to the web and a blade holder carrying the blade along a second long-side, characterized by pressure means arranged to bring, by applying pressure from an outer side of the blade and adjacent to the first long-side, the first long-side of the blade to engagement on the web without imparting substantial bending to the blade as seen in its cross section, said blade being movably clamped in the blade holder; a process for evening the coating of such a traveling web using such an apparatus.
Abstract:
In an applicator a thick coating of a liquid is applied to a flexible web that is then moved through a doctor assembly where excess liquid is scraped from the web. The doctor assembly has a generally stationary support at the station and a holder beam extending longitudinally substantially parallel to the web and transverse to a web travel direction. The beam is movable on the support transversely of itself and of the travel direction forward toward and backward away from the web and has a front face directed toward the web and an opposite back face turned away from the web. The support has front and back faces generally parallel to and respectively confronting the front and back faces of the holder beam. A doctor rod held in the holder beam is juxtaposable thereby with the web to scrape the excess liquid from the web. Front inflatable hoses are provided between the front faces of the holder beam and support and back inflatable hoses between the back faces of the holder beam and support. These hoses can be selectively inflated and deflated so that when the front hose is inflated at greater pressure than the back hose the holder beam moves backward in the support and when the back hose is inflated at greater pressure than the front hose the holder beam moves forward in the support.
Abstract:
An arrangement for dosing with a blade, in coating machines or similar, onto a running web of paper or cardboard carried by a roll in or with the arrangement. The blade is forced by means of a hold-down or several hold-down sections on the roll respectively the web. A transmitter transmits light, notably laser light. The blade features in the area between the contact line of the hold-down on it, and its contact line on the roll respectively the web, on its side away from the roll, at least one light-reflecting layer for reflection of the light ray directed by the transmitter at the layer. A receiver registers the position or angle of the ray reflected upon it by the light-reflecting layer of the blade. A controller is provided for controlling, dependent on the position signal of the receiver for the reflected light ray, the angular position of the blade, notably in its area between the contact line of the hold-down or the hold-down section and the roll.
