Definitions

  • the present invention relates firstly to a new continuous surface coating process, using a coating composition, of a sheet element such as a sheet of paper, cardboard, or synthetic material. . It also relates to a device allowing the implementation of this method.
  • the surface coating of a sheet element is a common practice in order to improve the qualities of the element, in particular in the case of paper or cardboard.
  • the coating is carried out in a known manner by depositing a coating composition on the sheet element driven in displacement, then by a spreading and smoothing action of the composition in order to obtain a layer thickness also constant as possible.
  • the spreading and smoothing operation is particularly delicate and has been the subject of extensive technical studies with the aim of seeking the elimination of any malformation in the appearance of the layer produced.
  • the known coating method consists in continuously scrolling the sheet element in a determined direction, in particular from bottom to top, between at least two members located on either side.
  • One of these members consisting of a spreading blade, is applied by one end against a face to be coated with the sheet element.
  • the other end of the blade is moved away from the sheet element and directed relative to the first end in a direction opposite to that of the movement of the sheet element.
  • the other member serves as a holding piece for the sheet member and as a reaction piece for the first.
  • the coating composition is deposited in contact with the face to be coated upstream of the zone of application of said spreading blade against the sheet element.
  • a pressing force is exerted on the spreading blade in the direction of the face to be coated so as to spread the coating composition on the face to be coated.
  • the present invention provides a new improvement in these coating methods. Indeed, the Applicant has detected that the coating techniques known up to now have a certain number of unfavorable consequences, on the one hand, at the level of the sheet element and, on the other hand, at the level of the layer of material with which the sheet element is coated.
  • the object of the process according to the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above by reducing the contact time of the coating composition with the sheet element before the spreading and smoothing operation as much as possible.
  • the process can also be used for coating paper in a molten medium, that is to say for the application of hot-melt polymers, paraffins, waxes, hot-melt. It also makes it possible to carry out coatings using pulverulent products subsequently fixed on the support by passage through an oven, for example if it is a hot-melt powder. Coating could also be carried out using foam products.
  • the method of the invention makes it possible to apply the coating composition either on one or on both sides of the sheet element.
  • the method according to the invention is preferably implemented using a known coating device, in particular as described in the aforementioned patent FR-A-2,359,650, in which the element is circulated in sheet between two members, at least one of which is constituted by a smoothing blade subjected to a force urging it towards the second member which can be constituted either by a fixed reaction part, or by a roller on which the element in sheet, either by a second blade arranged in opposition to the first blade.
  • the flexible blade is applied against the sheet element using a flexible tube filled with a pressurized fluid, so as to be bent with a concavity turned towards the outside and tangent to the sheet over a large area.
  • a first variant of use proposed consists of scrolling the sheet element vertically and from top to bottom.
  • the flexible blade is then held at its upper part and applied at its lower part against the sheet element.
  • the angle formed by the sheet element and the blade then forms a natural reservoir inside which a feed nozzle pours the coating composition so as to maintain an amount of excess composition that the sheet passes through.
  • a second variant of use proposed by this document consists in scrolling the sheet element in a direction different from the previous one and, more particularly, from bottom to top. The position of the spreading blade is then modified accordingly.
  • the coating composition is brought and deposited on the sheet element using a nozzle system adjoining it.
  • the sheet element then plays the role of conveyor for the composition which is conveyed to the necking zone where it is smoothed.
  • the contact time between the sheet element and the composition previously smoothed is very long.
  • the composition is either in a state of stagnation or in a state of vortex movement in the vicinity of the sheet element. This is the reason why, according to these methods, the capillary migration is very high and the viscosity of the composition tends to increase considerably before smoothing.
  • the coating composition is channeled into a fluid vein, directed towards the end point of the insertion corner, by means of lateral routing walls.
  • the composition comes from pressurized means which impart to it a total mechanical energy such that the vein which it constitutes is conveyed by pressure effect towards said point in a translational movement continuously oriented along a trajectory progressively approaching that of scrolling of the sheet element.
  • the method according to the invention essentially consists in channeling the coating composition in the form of a fluid vein directed continuously towards the extreme corner of said introduction cone (mentioned above), this by means of two side routing walls located inside this introduction cone, and: following said means for making the composition available under pressure.
  • Another essential means of the process of the invention consists in imparting to the coating composition, by means of said means of provision under pressure, total mechanical energy such that the fluid vein which it constitutes is conveyed by effect pressure towards the extreme corner in a continuously oriented movement along a trajectory progressively approaching that of the scrolling of the sheet element.
  • the fact of injecting the composition in the immediate vicinity of the coating area has the additional advantage of maintaining, within the composition, a state of shear which keeps it fluid until it passes under the blade, thus ensuring a more efficient and homogeneous smoothing and consequently a significantly improved coating quality.
  • this arrangement limits the contact time between the composition and the sheet element previously to its smoothing. This reduces the migration of the liquid phase from the composition to the sheet element and the subsequent tearing of the latter.
  • An important aspect of the invention further lies in the fact that the sheet element is moved in displacement over at least part of its trajectory substantially vertically from bottom to top and that the coating composition is injected also in a direction oriented from bottom to top.
  • This particular arrangement makes it possible to ensure good regularity of the deposition of the coating composition over the entire width of the sheet element while ensuring efficient evacuation of any excess of said composition, without risking the formation of a reserve. as would be the case if one proceeded to an injection from top to bottom with a scrolling of the sheet element in the same direction.
  • the composition is applied, in a manner known per se, by an injector, the outlet orifice of the latter being placed, according to the invention, at or in the immediate vicinity of the area of contact (or smoothing) between the sheet element and the smoothing blade.
  • the outlet of the injector arranged naturally upstream of this zone with respect to the direction of travel of the sheet element, or located at a distance from the outer edge of the blade, as short as possible according to the mechanical requirements imposed by the scrolling of the sheet element and the structure of the injector and oriented towards the top of the angle formed by the blade and the sheet.
  • the invention also relates to a coating device intended to implement the above method.
  • At least one of the members is constituted by a spreading blade. This is applied by one end against a face to be coated with the sheet element. The other end of the blade is moved apart and directed with respect to the first in a direction opposite to that of travel of the sheet element. Finally, the spreading blade is provided with a possible pressure member, associated with the free end of the blade to exert on it a thrust substantially perpendicular to the sheet member, while the rest of the blade has a curvature with convexity turned towards the sheet element.
  • the blade will be constituted by a flexible and thin blade which is elastically deformable and whose free end in contact with the sheet element will be associated with a pressure member ensuring the flatness of the end of the blade in contact with the sheet member and its parallelism with said sheet member.
  • the pressure member may consist of a tube containing a pressurized fluid.
  • the pressure member consists of an elastic counter blade, which may be less flexible than the smoothing blade, located outside the smoothing blade, relative to the element in sheet form, the free end of which rests on the smoothing blade at the point of contact between said smoothing blade and the sheet element.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective and in section a device for coating a sheet 1 intended for coating a single face of the sheet.
  • Said sheet 1 is driven in displacement in the direction of the arrow by a conventional driving device which has not been shown.
  • the sheet is partially wound on a rotating roller 2.
  • the coating or coating device is generally indicated at 3 and comprises a fixed and hollow box 4, placed under the roller 2, being spaced from it from a distance "e" and the axis 4a of which extends substantially parallel to the axis of the roller and over the entire length of the latter.
  • the internal chamber 5 of the box closed at its ends, is supplied with a coating composition under pressure by a pumping group shown diagrammatically at 6 and connected to a reservoir containing the composition.
  • a slot 7 is made along the length of the box in the vicinity of the roller 2.
  • a flexible blade 8 On one of the edges of the slot is fixed the stationary end of a flexible blade 8, the free end of which is elastically biased in abutment against the sheet 1, downstream of its fixed end in the direction of travel of the sheet, by virtue of the bending of said blade whose convexity is turned towards the roller 2.
  • the arrangement is such that the free end 9 of the blade tangent the curvature of the roller.
  • a pneumatic tube 10 mounted on the body 4 by means of a support 10a (holding the tube over its entire length) exerts pressure over the entire length of the end 9 of the blade.
  • the tube is connected to a source of pressurized air for example, which makes it possible to regulate the pressure exerted on the blade.
  • the fixed end of the blade is spaced from the sheet member and the blade forms with the latter a corner 11. Furthermore, the edges of the slot 7 formed in the box are inclined, from the inside to the outside, in the direction of travel of the sheet element so that they guide, in the direction of the arrow 12, the composition leaving under pressure from the chamber 5 towards the corner 11 formed between the blade and the sheet element. It can be seen that the arrow 12 is oriented substantially 'along the bisector of the angle formed between the blade and the sheet element. It will be noted that the possible excess of coating composition may be evacuated from the corner 1 1 by trickling along arrow 3 on the part of the body located upstream of the slot 7, the fraction of composition thus eliminated being recovered for example in a bin 13 located under the body. The distance "e" between the top of the box and the sheet will be sufficient to allow passage of the excess part of the coating composition while avoiding contact between the latter and the sheet.
