Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a curtain-coating unit, according to the preamble of Claim 1 , for coating a material web, which is arranged to move, with a coating agent.
  • a curtain-coating unit is this kind, the coating agent is fed to the surface of the material web in a curtain-like flow.
  • the invention also relates to a curtain-coating method for coating a moving material web.
  • a curtain-coating unit includes an application beam arranged above the web, in which there is a narrow nozzle gap or a sloping feed plane fitted over the width of the web, from which the coating agent is fed to the surface of the web as a continuous curtain over the width of the web.
  • the web which moves at a speed many times greater than that of the downward-flowing coating-agent curtain, sweeps the coating-agent curtain into a thin film at the point of contact. Thus the final coating-agent layer is formed on the surface of the web.
  • the web can be feed simultaneously with several coating layers on top of each other, if the application beam is equipped with parallel nozzle gaps, from which the coating agent is fed to a sloping feed plane, so that the flows of coating agent fed from the different nozzle gaps come on top of each other before they flow onto the web.
  • the boundary-layer air removal means are situated, in the direction of travel of the web, before the point at which the coating-agent curtain falls onto the web.
  • the boundary-layer air removal means typically consist of a suction surface arranged against the web, through which the air layer on the surface of the material web is sucked off, as well as an air doctor arranged between the suction surface and the point of contact of the coating agent.
  • curtain coating offers several advantages over traditional blade coating methods. In curtain coating no rapidly wearing parts, such as doctor blades or rods, are used. In addition, curtain coating places less strain on the web, thus reducing the number of web breaks occurring at the coating station. In curtain coating, the penetration of the web by the coating agent is small, which permits good coating coverage. The small coating agent penetration also reduces wetting of the base web during the coating process and thus improves the strength of the web as coating proceeds. In addition, with the aid of curtain coating it is possible to achieve a situation, in which the feed of the coating agent directly determines the amount of coating, without a return or bypass circulations, which simplifies the construction of the coating station and facilitates its operation.
  • the amount of coating agent being fed from the application beam may vary greatly. Thus areas form on the web, in which there is a large amount of coating agent.
  • the dryers after coating may not then be able to dry the coating layer sufficiently, in which case wet coating agent will adhere to the structures following the coater. Therefore, when coating starts, the coating agent is prevented from reaching the surface of the web, by bringing a so-called starting trough, into which the coating agent being fed from the application beam can run, between the application beam and the web.
  • the coating agent is led from the application beam to the starting trough until the flow is as desired. After this, the starting trough is moved away from under the coating-agent curtain, so that the coating agent can reach the surface of the web.
  • the coating can be started by moving the application beam in the direction of travel of the web away form the application point to a location over a starting trough fixed in place and the coating-agent flow is regulated as desired, after which the application beam is moved back to the coating position.
  • the magnitude of this turning can vary if the properties of the coating agent and/or the amount being fed are changed. This may weaken the coating result, because the coating-agent curtain may strike the boundary-layer air remover, or the distance between the boundary-layer air remover and the point of contact of the curtain may grow too large.
  • the invention is intended to create an improved curtain-coating unit.
  • the invention is based on the application beam of the curtain-coating unit being able to be tilted, i.e. rotated around an axis transverse to the web, during coating. With the aid of the rotating movement, the location, in the direction of travel of the web, of the curtain of coating agent falling from the application beam can be altered during coating, for example, when coating commences.
  • the curtain-coating unit according to the invention is characterized by what is stated in the characterizing portion of Claim 1.
  • the curtain-coating method according to the invention is, in turn, characterized by what is stated in the characterizing portion of Claim 8.
  • the position of the coating curtain in the direction of travel of the web can be altered by rotating the application beam around an axis in the cross direction of the web. Due to this, the solution according to the invention requires few moving parts and its construction is simple and reliable.
  • the application beam in the starting situation of the coating, is rotated to a starting position, in which the coating agent flows from the application beam to a starting trough.
  • the application beam is rotated to the coating position, in which the coating-agent curtain can fall onto the web. Due to the rotating movement of the application beam, the movement between the ends of the beam is better synchronized.
  • the distance of the point of contact of the coating-agent curtain from the boundary-layer air remover can be measured and adjusted while the curtain coater is running.
  • the distance of the point of contact of the coating-agent curtain from the boundary-layer air remover can thus be kept as desired in the coating starting situation and during normal running when production conditions change, due to which the structures of the boundary-layer air remover remain cleaner and the operation of the boundary-layer air removal remains optimal.
  • adjustment of the distance between the point of contact of the coating-agent curtain with the web and the boundary-layer air remover allows the point of contact of the coating-agent curtain of coating agent to be kept as close as possible to the doctoring point, so that a new boundary-air layer will not have time to develop before the point of contact of the coating-agent curtain.
  • This is advantageous, particularly in coaters running at high speed, in which a new air layer can form on the surface of the web in a distance of as little as 20 mm.
  • the distance adjustment permits control of the air flows prevailing in the vicinity of the point of contact of the coating-agent curtain, so that they disturb application as little as possible.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross-section of one curtain coater according to the invention, in the starting position.
  • Figure 2 shows the curtain-coating unit of Figure 1, in the coating position.
  • the curtain-coating unit 1 there are elements for guiding the continuous material web 6 to be coated and for conveying it forward in the coater 1.
  • a hitch roll 5 and a second hitch roll 5' which support the web 6 as it travels, act as the elements.
  • the hitch rolls 5, 5' are mounted at their ends in bearings running in bearing shells, which are in turn attached to the frame elements 3 of the coating unit 1.
  • An application beam 2 is fitted above the hitch roll 5, to feed the coating mixture to the web 6 as a freely falling curtain 10.
  • the application beam 2 there is a nozzle or other feed component extending over the entire width of the web 6, from which the coating agent is fed to the web 6 over the entire width of the web, or extending essentially over the entire width of the web, as a freely falling curtain 10.
  • the other feed component can be, for example, a sloping feed plane, from which the coating mixture falls in a curtain-like flow to the surface of the web.
  • the application beam 2 is equipped with a sloping plane 13 and three parallel feed gaps 14.
  • Each feed gap 14 extends over the entire width of the web 6.
  • Coating agent is fed from the feed gaps 14 to the sloping feed plane 13, from which the coating agent flows on over the lip and falls in a curtain-like flow onto the web 6 at the point of contact 9.
  • the coating-agent flows fed from the different feed gaps 14 are on top of each other on the feed plane 13, so that the coating agent fed from the feed gap located closest to the Hp 11 is the lowest and the coating agent fed from the feed gap farthest from the lip 11 is on top.
  • the application beam 2 is attached rigidly to the frame elements 3 of the curtain coater, for example, with the aid of bearers in the frame element.
  • the frame element 3 is, in turn, attached rotatably to the frame 4 of the coater by hinges, with the aid of which the frame element 3 can rotate around an axis 12 at the hinge point running in the cross direction of the web.
  • Operating devices 7 are arranged between the frame element 3 and the frame 4, with the aid of which the frame element 3 can be rotated around the axis 12. For example, hydraulic cylinders, the first end of which is hinged to the frame element 3 and the second end to the frame 4, are used as the operating devices 7.
  • the rotational movement of the frame element 3 is limited to the desired amount by means of stops, against which the operating devices 7 press the frame element 3 at the extreme positions of the rotational movement.
  • the rotational movement is preferably limited in such a way that the frame element 3 and the application beam 2 can rotate around the axis 12 by at most 45° counterclockwise, preferably by at most 15°.
  • the frame element 3 and the application beam 2 can be rotated around the axis 12 by about 15°.
  • the angle of rotation can be preferably typically also 10°.
  • the curtain-coating unit 1 also includes a trough-like starting trough 8, to which the coating agent fed from the application beam 2 is fed when coating starts (Fig. 1).
  • the starting trough 8 is attached to the frame element 3. From the starting trough 8, the coating agent flows on to the coating mixture circulation.
  • the starting trough 8 is located between the application beam 2 and the web 6, at a point at which the coating-agent curtain falls from the application beam 2 when coating starts, so that the coating agent cannot reach the surface of the web 6.
  • the starting trough 8 extends at least over the width from which the coating agent is fed from the application beam 2 to the web, so that in the starting situation all of the coating mixture coming from the application beam 2 falls into the starting trough 8.
  • the starting trough 8 is located above the hitch roll 5. When the frame element 2 is rotated around the axis 12, the starting trough 8 also rotates.
  • the curtain-coating unit 1 also includes boundary-layer air removal means 15, which are used to remove the boundary-layer air on the surface of the web 6 before the point of contact 9 of the coating-agent curtain 10 with the web.

  • the width d of the gap is preferably 30 - 80 mm.
  • the direction of travel of the web 6 is shown in the drawings by an arrow. It is also possible to remove the boundary-layer air without contact.
  • the curtain-coating unit 1 also includes guard plate 16, which is fitted between the application beam 2 and the boundary-layer air removal means 15. A closed air space is formed between the guard plate 16 and the coating-agent curtain 10, into which stabilization air can be blown during coating, if necessary. The behaviour of the curtain 10 in the area of the point of contact 9 is controlled with the aid of the stabilization air.
