Definitions

  • the invention relates to a curtain applicator for coating a by a machine for producing and / or processing moving paper, cardboard or other fibrous web with at least one liquid to pasty application medium, comprising a above the fibrous web arranged machine-width curtain application head with a coating medium distribution chamber and an outlet opening for discharging the at least one application medium in the form of a single-layer or multi-layer curtain falling substantially downwards onto the fibrous web, and comprising at least one gutter located at least below the edge of the fibrous web for collecting application medium or over the edge of the fibrous web Sharing (MS) of it.
  • MS fibrous web Sharing
  • a generic curtain applicator (Curtain Coater) is for example from the DE-A1 10012344 for a single-level order or the DE-A1 103 59 117 known for multi-layer order.
  • the applicator heads have slit nozzles which point down towards the fibrous web to be coated and from which the curtain falls predominantly under the influence of gravity.
  • gutters or trays for collecting application medium which falls over the edge of the web are also catcher devices for the startup process and the termination of the coating process, as well as air boundary layer control devices available.
  • the coating width can be equal to or less than the width of the fibrous web, which is referred to as inboard driving.
  • each collecting channel is assigned a collecting plate, wherein the collecting plate is acted upon by a cooling fluid.
  • the cooling fluid is colder than the ambient temperature to maintain the surface temperature of the collection plate below the temperature of the environment.
  • the cooling medium should flow through the collecting plate.
  • this is preferably hollow and filled with the cooling fluid, for example water, oil, alcohol or special mixtures. Also conceivable are cooling channels incorporated in the collecting plate, through which the selected cooling fluid flows.
  • the cooling fluid for example water, oil, alcohol or special mixtures.
  • cooling channels incorporated in the collecting plate, through which the selected cooling fluid flows.
  • the drip pan can be cooled.
  • the collecting plate with its top to the fibrous web has a gap or distance of 0 to 20mm, preferably 3 to 5 mm. With its underside, however, the catch plate protrudes at least partially into the gutter. Although said gap or distance is desirable so that the high-speed fibrous web (which are speeds of greater than about 1500 m / min) can not affect the catch plate and thus is not damaged or even torn off. For slow running or even narrow webs, a distance of 0 mm, ie a direct contact to the fibrous web can be accepted.
  • the gutter can have any cross-section, which may for example be cone-shaped or extended like a trough.
  • the term gutter is not restrictive, but stands for any cross-sectional shapes. This gutter can be acted as the collecting plate with a cooling fluid.
  • the gutter can be arranged as a separate component.
  • a design in which the collecting plate is an integral part of the gutter assigned to it is simpler to interchangeably or expandable and removable.
  • the catch plate is not machine-width and is located only on at least one edge of the application zone, whereas the gutter can also be machine-wide.
  • the collecting plate downstream of the curtain applicator head or a line of impact of the curtain on the fibrous web at a distance between 40 and 100.mm downstream.
  • this distance should not be greater than 500 mm, because otherwise the splashes or particles of the application medium at unwanted sites but create and dry.
  • the collecting plate to the fibrous web at an angle between 5 ° and 90 °, but preferably 5 ° and 40 °. Due to the inclination, the medium parts to be collected can be better absorbed by the collecting surface.
  • the tuyere preferably has a slot-like outlet opening and thus produces a flat jet. This forms a relatively sharply limited Blasstrahls, which is directed to the edge of the fibrous web, which splashes and paint mist are discharged from the curtain edge in the direction of the gutter.
  • the tuyere is set against the fibrous web in such a way that its blowing jet also acts on the rear side of the collecting plate facing away from the curtain.
  • the collecting plate and the blowing nozzle are arranged under an existing start / stop channel. This prevents soiling of the tuyere and the cooled catcher plate when starting or interrupting the coating process.
  • This collector plate can be easily installed in existing coating machines.
  • the catcher is suitable for newly designed, but also existing curtain applicators.
  • the collecting plate can be assigned to both an edge side, as well as at both web edges, so leader and drive side.
  • the two-sided arrangement is preferred because the Abspritzungen the application medium or paint mist equally occur on both sides of today often with more than 1500m / min quickly through the manufacturing or finishing machine fibrous web and therefore should be collected there.
  • FIG. 1 a curtain applicator 1 for coating a running paper, cardboard or other fibrous web 2 with a liquid to pasty application medium M shown. It includes, in addition to some other units not shown here, such as start / stop gutters, air boundary layer control equipment, Measuring devices, feed lines, etc. one above the fibrous web 2 and spaced therefrom arranged curtain application head. 3
  • This application head 3 is provided with a slot nozzle directed toward the substrate to be coated or the continuous fibrous web.
  • the device is marketed by the applicant's company as DF Coater (Direct Fountain Coater) and is also machine-wide.
  • the application head 3 has a topicsmediumsverteilhunt 4 with feed gap, which merges into a slot-shaped outlet opening 5 with a trailing edge 6 and from which the application medium M in the form of a falling curtain 7 on the running in the direction of arrow L fibrous web 2 passes.
  • the curtain 7 sets as a coating layer AS.
  • the curtain applicator unit 1 at least one located below the edge 2a of the fibrous web 2 collecting channel 8 for collecting on the edge 2a of the fibrous web 2 exiting or squirting application medium M or parts thereof.
  • the leaking or ejecting media parts of the fibrous web 2 and / or the fibrous web leading rollers 9 and 10 or other components not shown here pollute, one of the gutter 8 associated, also arranged below the fibrous web 2 collecting plate 11 is provided.
  • This collecting plate 11 is rectangular and hollow in the example. In the cavity, it is filled with a cooling fluid. Thus, a cooling of the same is achieved, which forms on the surface of the collecting plate 11 condensate. This has the consequence that the collected order medium or color splashes MS do not dry there, but slip down into the gutter located underneath 8. There they are collected and withdrawn.
  • the collecting plate 11 is preferably arranged at an angle ⁇ between 5 ° and 40 ° with respect to the fibrous web 2.
  • This cooled collecting plate 11 is assigned in the example a tuyere 12, which directs the excess application medium parts or casters or paint mist MS to the collecting plate 11.
  • the tuyere 12 is located above the edge 2a of the fibrous web 2 with an outflow direction on the region 2a of the fibrous web, up to said collecting plate 11.
  • the tuyere is pressurized with compressed air and emits a blowing jet 12b.
  • the blowing zone which widened with increasing distance, is shown in dashed lines.
  • the outlet opening of the blowing nozzle 12 is designed as a flat jet nozzle, so that the blowing jet 12b generates a flattened cross-section.
  • FIG. 1 It can be seen clearly that the collecting plate 11 is located above its associated collecting channel 8, wherein the collecting plate 11 with its top 11a to the fibrous web 2 has a distance a of about 5 mm and protrudes with its bottom 11 b in the gutter 8.
  • the collecting plate 11 is arranged at a distance b in the downstream direction L of the fibrous web 2 after the curtain 7.
  • the distance b extends from the extended line of the trailing edge 6 of the outlet opening 5 of the applicator head 3 to the front wall 11a of the erected collecting plate 11. This distance b is here about 70mm mm.
  • blowing nozzle 12 is set against the fibrous web 2 in such a way that its blowing jet 12b acts down to the rear side 11d of the collecting plate 11 facing away from the curtain 7.
  • the collecting plate 11 and the tuyere should be located under an existing start / stop channel 17.
  • FIG. 2 is intended to show a possible embodiment in which the tuyere 12 is attached via a holder 13 to the collecting plate 11 and thereby jointly and expandable or at their distance b is adjustable to the curtain, as indicated by the double arrow.
  • the holder has an incision or notch 13a for the fibrous web 2.
  • This embodiment is a simple retrofitted catcher 14, which is easily installed in existing production machines or coaters nightly.
  • the tuyere 12 has, moreover, in the FIG. 2 not visible slit-shaped outlet opening 12a, whereby one generates a sharply demarcated flat jet, which in turn generates a clean spatter-free edge 2a on the fibrous web 2.
  • FIG. 2 Indicated in FIG. 2 is with arrows and the supply of the cooling fluid 15 for the collecting plate 11 and the supply of the blowing air 16 in the tuyere 12th
  • FIG. 3 the lower part of the curtain applicator 1 is shown more clearly, wherein the web running direction is perpendicular to the image plane.
  • the collecting plate 11 which is arranged at a distance from the fibrous web, for the most part projects even beyond the lateral edge 2a of the web.
  • the blown with the nozzle 12 by Blasstrahl 12b medium generates a spatter-free edge, which is indicated in dashed lines.
  • the collected at the edge of the medium from the gutter 8 is withdrawn via a drain 18, as shown by arrows.
  • the collected medium can be disposed of or alternatively fed back to the media preparation.
