Abstract
A method and device for coating a web (2) of material, especially a web of paper or cardboard, traveling over a backing roll (1) wherein coating is applied to the web is excess and reduced by a flow-control component (3), especially a doctor, to the desired thickness and wherein the flow-control component is secured to a beam (5) that extends over the operating width. The coating-thickness deviation from a straight line is determined over the operating width and employed as a parameter for controlling the heat emitted by a heater (16), especially heating strips, positioned on the side of the doctor beam facing away from the backing roller.
Claims3
In an apparatus for coating a web of material such as paper or cardboard, including a backing roll with a flow-controlling flexible doctor with its base secured to a pivoting doctor beam, the beam having a side facing away from the backing roll, and means for causing the web to travel over the backing roll, the improvement which comprises thermostatically controlled electric heating strips disposed over the operating width of the side of the doctor beam that faces away from the backing roll, thereby to create a prescribed temperature difference in the doctor beam between the sides facing toward and away from the backing roll.
