Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'application de revêtements sur des surfaces de substrats sous forme de papier, de carton ou de feuilles plastiques, de préférence pour la finition de produits d'impression. Le dispositif comporte une unité de revêtement destinée à appliquer du matériau de revêtement sous forme fluide sur la surface du substrat, et un système de lissage de la pellicule encore fluide, appliquée sur la surface du substrat au moyen de l'unité de revêtement, ledit système comportant un dispositif de production d'un flux gazeux dirigé sur la surface du substrat revêtu de la pellicule, lissant la pellicule par suppression au moins partielle de structures indésirables de la surface de pellicule, telles que des cavités, des saillies et des cratères, avant durcissage du matériau de revêtement.
