Abstract
The invention concerns a support beam of a coating system for coating a web of paper or cardboard carried in or at the coating system by a roll, the support beam having a length about the same as the roll. Tie rods or thrust rods are distributed around the periphery of the support beam and are spaced at least 50 mm from the center of gravity line of the cross sectional surfaces of the beam. The cross sectional surfaces are disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support beam. Traction or thrust devices apply a tension or compression force to at least one of the tie rods or thrust rods.

In a coating system for coating a web of paper or cardboard and including a roll for carrying the web, a support beam having a length about the same as said roll and defining a longitudinal axis extending through the centroid of said support beam, said support beam comprising:
- a plurality of cross-sectional surfaces disposed generally orthogonal to said longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of rods connected to said cross sectional surfaces and distributed around the periphery of said support beam, said rods disposed a distance of at least 50 mm from said longitudinal axis;
- and
- at least one device for applying one of a tension and compression force to at least one of said rods.
In a coating system for coating a web of paper or cardboard and including a roll for carrying the web, a support beam having a length about the same as said roll and defining a longitudinal axis extending through the centroid of said support beam, said support beam comprising:
- a plurality of rods connected to said support beam and disposed at a distance of at least 50 mm from said longitudinal axis;
- and
- means for applying one of a tension and compression force to at least one of said rods.
