    Abstract: A device (4) for applying a viscous liquid, in particular an MFC dispersion, onto a moving substrate (52) comprises an inlet (72, 73a-73f) for the viscous liquid, a casting chamber (61a, 61b), a lower portion of which being open to the substrate (52), and a metering portion (69, 661), for limiting a thickness of a wet film that is formed on the substrate downstream of the device. The device further comprises a shear section (42) arranged inside the casting chamber (61a, 61b). The shear section (42) comprises a fluidization rod (68), arranged in the casting chamber (61a, 61b), for providing shearing of the viscous liquid inside the casting chamber (61a, 61b).

    Abstract: The present document discloses a method of determining thickness of a wet film, in particular of microfibrillated cellulose. The method comprises conveying said film (20) in a wet state on a conveyor (10) having a conveyor width, the wet film having a film width which is less than the conveyor width, providing a laser projection (1511) across a film edge, acquiring a series of images, each depicting an area of the conveyor, wherein the laser projection, a portion of the film and a portion of an exposed conveyor surface are visible, and using at least some of said images to determine at least one of a film thickness and a film thickness distribution across the film width. The document also discloses a method of forming a film, in particular a microfibrillated cellulose film, and a device for producing such film.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a film comprising nanocellulose, which method comprises: providing a suspension comprising 50-100 weight-% of nanocellulose based on total dry weight; forming a fibrous web of said suspension on a non-porous support; providing a press fabric comprising a web-side first surface and an opposite second surface, wherein said press fabric comprises a woven first fabric layer arranged in the press fabric as a layer providing said web-side first surface such that said press fabric has a woven surface structure at said web-side first surface; applying said web-side surface of said press fabric into direct contact with said web; wet-pressing said web by conducting said web, arranged between said press fabric and said non-porous support, through a pressing equipment, and drying the dewatered web so as to form said film. The invention further relates to a film produced from said method.
