Definitions
- the subject of the invention method and device for levelling and establishing the thickness of a liquid agent layer spread on a web of moving coated or lacquered material.
- This solution applies in particular to levelling and establishing the thickness of layer of lacquer or impregnating agent spread on a pre-impregnated decorative paper or on film base.
- the method and device may also be used to coat other papers, foils and materials.
- the known methods implementing this goal consist of starting the movement of a web of material using a system of guide, stabilizing and supporting rollers, and then spreading the liquid agent over the moving web using a module spreading the agent on the material, and at the end, collecting the surplus of liquid agent from the web of material moved in (drawn through) the device, using a blade squeegee placed most frequently in the cylinder wrapping space, or a non-blade squeegee - round rotary - located outside of the wrapping space of the pulling cylinder.
- the known devices for the implementation of this goal consist of: a module for spreading a liquid agent on a web of moving material, consisting of, among others, applying elements and rollers, a module for pulling the web with the spread layer of liquid material ensuring relative movement between the material and the module for spreading the liquid material using a system of rollers and a squeegee placed behind the module for spreading the agent in direction of the movement of the material, ensuring a resistance of the flow and removing the excess of the agent from the material in such a manner as to ensure a layer with appropriate area and thickness.
- the Meyer Bar method is commonly known.
- the module for spreading a liquid agent contains, among other things, a roller spreading a liquid agent on the material, called an application cylinder and a tub with a liquid agent.
- Squeegees are used for removing the excess of a liquid agent and controlling its amount and thickness of the coat, in the form of steel round rotary rods made of stainless steel, covered tightly with a nickel-chrome steel with various diameter.
- Wet layer thickness after scraping depends on the diameter of the wire used to wrap the roller, and amounts approximately 0.1 of the wire diameter.
- the thickness of the dry layer of the spread agent depends on the concentration of solids in the coating agents.
- the module pulling the web with a spread layer of a liquid agent in the Meyer Bar method consists of multiple drive rollers for guiding, pulling and supporting and distributing the web of material to subsequent modules of the device.
- the squeegee is mounted on a supporting cradle and placed in the space between the application cylinder of the module for spreading the liquid agent from the tub onto the material, and the pulling cylinder which is an element of the pulling module of the device located on the opposite side of the squeegee in relation to the application cylinder.
- the drawbacks of the Meyer Bar method include the limited evenness of spreading the agent, low speed of its application, sensitivity to the phenomenon aquaplaning with higher speeds and lack of elimination of defects of the base material.
- the second known method so-called squeegee chamber, consists of placing the lacquer on a material using an applying screen drum, to which a squeegee chamber is pressed, and to which the applied agent is fed under pressure.
- the applying screen drum with ink carriers placed on its surface and filled with the applied agent rotates backwards to the direction of movement of the material web.
- Material is placed against the screen cylinder by a press roller at a specific distance, but without pressure, and the applied agent is rubbed into the coated material.
- the module for the spreading of a liquid agent is collected of: Blade chamber, screen roller and press roller (positioning roller), and the module for pulling the web with the spread layer of liquid agent consists of at least a drive roller and guide rollers.
- squeegees are blade-shaped and are the edges of the pressure roller. After pressing the screen roller they form a hermetic dosing system.
- the disadvantages of this method include relatively difficult and complicated actions related to the changes, replacement and maintenance of the device, sensitivity to contamination and lack of sufficient elimination of defects of the base material.
- the device in this case does not have a cylinder applying a liquid agent from the tub, but an applicator module with a narrow orifice-slot extending in a cross-machine direction for facilitating high-speed laminar flow of coating mix into a gap region defined by confronting surfaces of the applicator device and the web.
- the applicator device has a member for directing the ejected coating mix in the gap region in a direction reverse to a travel direction of the web so that only a predetermined portion of the ejected coating mix is allowed to form an applied coat on the web.
- This accurate premetering of the coating mix by the applicator device permits an operator to readily optimize the subsequent process of doctoring the applied coating with an air knife. This method requires very complicated equipment and high precision of the process as well as the use of multiple control and regulation devices ensuring the maintaining of extremely high operating parameters.
- the goal of the invention is the creation of a method and device enabling the maximum elimination of defects and unevenness of the created coat, related to the teleportation of defects and contamination of the rolls guiding the web and rolls cooperating with the squeegee, ensuring the self-cleaning of the squeegee, elimination of negative effects of aquaplaning and the use of this phenomenon as a method of ensuring even thickness of the applied coat.
- a method of levelling and establishing the thickness of a liquid agent coat placed on a covered or lacquered material, moving inside a machine, in which the excess of the applied liquid agent is collected using a squeegee placed behind the applicator module in the direction of movement of the web, in accordance with the invention, is characterised by the fact that excess lacquer is collected with at least one blade located in the space between the applicator element of the module for applying the liquid agent on the web, and any roller of the module for pulling the ribbon, outside of the wrapping space of this cylinder, whereas the blade is knife-shaped. Thickness of the layer placed on the material web is adjusted by the pressure of the working area of the knife blade on the material web. Thickness of the layer placed on the material web is also adjusted by the angle of the knife against the material web surface. Thickness of the layer placed on a paper web is also adjusted by the working area of the knife blade.
- Device for levelling and establishing the thickness of a liquid agent coat placed on a covered or lacquered material consisting of a module applying the liquid agent to a web of material moving inside the device, a module pulling the web of material and a blade removing the surplus of the agent, in accordance with the invention, characterized in that it contains at least one blade, which has the form of a knife from the side of the coated web of material outside of the wrapping boundary of any roller of the pulling module, whereas the knife is connected with a device for adjusting the pressure of the working area of the knife blade on the web and the angle of placement of the knife against the web of material.
- the knife from the side of the liquid agent applicator module, is placed at a sharp angle between the surface of the web material and the knife axis, whereas this angle will be in the range of 5° to 80°. It is advantageous when the working area of the knife blade is within a range of 0.01 mm to 15 mm.
- fig. 1 presents the diagram of the device
- fig. 2 presents the placement of the blade against the material web, with a marked: coat of liquid agent and zone of increased hydrodynamic pressure, as well a schematic run of removing excess lacquer.
- Method and device in the example solution concerns the application of lacquer in a lacquering machine.
- Material in the form of a preimpregnated foil web 1_ is moved with a system of pulling, supporting and guiding rollers located both in the part which forms the module for pulling the web and the applicator module of the lacquering machine.
- a knife blade 4 is located between the application cylinder 2 of the lacquer application module and the pulling roller 3 of the module for pulling the web 1_ . It is located directly next to the pulling roller 3, however outside of the borders of the wrapping of this roller by the web.
- Application cylinder 2 is placed above the lacquer tub 5 with a lacquer 6 located directly under the web of material 1_.
- both the pulling and the applicator module are equipped with additional guiding and supporting rollers.
- Blade 4 mounted on the adjustment mechanism 7 enabling the change of its position along the web of material (up-down; front-rear; and angle of inclination).
- the web of material with a width of 2540 mm moves with a speed of 280 m/min through the following elements of the lacquering machine: unwinding machine, pulling in station, lacquering module, guiding and pulling rollers, dryer, pulling out station and rewinding machine.
- the method uses linear placement of the blade the moving, appropriately tensioned and coated material, which by creating a zone of an increased hydrodynamic pressure 8 and specific stable surface hydrodynamic overpressure of the liquid material (aquaplaning) applies the lacquer evenly over the entire surface.
- Adjustment of the squeegee placement angle to the surface of the paper in connection with appropriately selected parameters: speed of web movement, tension of material web and the amount of lacquer enable obtaining self-cleaning of the squeegee blade.
- Devices for controlling web tension and tool pressure are widely known and used as standard in the printing and paper industry.
