Coating device and method for producing web with coating film

A coating device for coating a web that is traveling with coating liquid, the coating device comprising:

• a coating bar extending in a web width direction;
• a partition disposed below an axial center of the coating bar in a vertical direction, the partition extending in the web width direction;
• and
• an upstream container and a downstream container disposed on an upstream side and a downstream side in a web conveyance direction, respectively, with the partition interposed between the upstream container and the downstream container, the upstream container and the downstream container including side plates disposed inward in the web width direction with respect to both ends of the partition on a web width direction side, the upstream container and the downstream container being configured to store the coating liquid,
• wherein the partition is a portion that separates the upstream container and the downstream container from each other, and has a flow path for discharging the coating liquid from a position within a range of a web width and outside the side plates in the web width direction.
