    • B05C5/0254Coating heads with slot-shaped outlet

Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coating device for applying thin wet films to a support, which is guided continuously over a support surface.
  • the distance between the lips and the substrate or carrier to be coated plays an important role in the case of the slot die coating.
  • lower wet film thicknesses or higher coating speeds require a smaller nozzle spacing, or complex process technologies must also be used, e.g. in the form of a negative pressure applied to the meniscus of the wet film.
  • a wide-slot nozzle wrapped in the carrier film is used to apply wet films of reduced thickness. Practical difficulties arise when metal strips are to be coated, since because of their strong resilient restoring force, these can only be carried out with difficulty over the curved slot die.
  • the base film moves at a predetermined linear speed and in a predetermined direction.
  • the applicator comprises a head provided with a bore parallel to the axis of the head for receiving the liquid, a slot connecting the bore to a surface of the head, a trailing edge portion located adjacent to the slot on the upstream side of the slot, which has a chamfer the width of which is less than or equal to 50 microns but greater than the diameter of each grain of the material of the trailing edge portion, and a doctor edge portion disposed adjacent to the slot on the downstream side of the slot with respect to the running direction, the doctor edge portion being chamfered having a width of about 2 to 3 microns, which is provided on the upstream edge of the surface of the doctor edge section.
  • the object of the invention is to carry out wet film coatings with slot dies at high speeds of the support and with low wet film thicknesses, without causing defects in the wet film, in the support or by contacting the support with the The slot lip is damaged or the tape tears off.
  • a slot nozzle of the coating device is equipped with at least one elastic lip made of a flat strip which projects beyond a front edge of the outlet opening of the slot nozzle.
  • the essence of the invention is that conventionally rigid wide slot nozzles are additionally equipped with resilient lips made of elastic bands that spring away when the moving support or substrate approaches the lips and can be easily replaced when errors occur.
  • the resilient or elastic lips are placed on the rigidly arranged upper and lower lips of wide slot nozzles.
  • the geometry is variable. They can be made of plastics (polyester, polyimide, polyolefin, perfluorinated alkane, etc.), metals (steel, brass, nickel, aluminum, copper, etc.) or rubber (fluorine-containing elastomers, such as Kalrez (R) or Zalak (R) from Dupont de Nemours).
  • films or semi-finished products of different thicknesses can be used, for example polyester films with a thickness of 50 to 400 ⁇ m.
  • the foils can be cut from sheet-like flat materials at right angles or at other angles, so that different geometries of the lips to the substrate can be set.
  • the elastic lip 3 is then clamped between the inclined outside of the upper lip 6 and the terminal block 8, but without the terminal block 8 having to be screwed to the upper lip 6.
  • the clamping screw 14 and the locking pin 20 then each pass through corresponding holes in the elastic lip 3, the clamping screw 14, however, being arranged outside the clamping strip 8. It goes without saying and requires no further explanation that a clamping screw 14 and a locking pin 20 are provided near the narrow sides of the elastic lip 3, so that it is stretched over its length without folds by the clamping screws and the locking pins.
  • a further clamping screw 14 is provided instead of the locking pin 20 of the embodiment according to FIG. 1, which then, like the first one Clamping screw 14 which passes through the clamping strip 8 and is countersunk in it.
  • the clamping strip 8 extends beyond the elastic lip, the further clamping screw 14 not passing through the elastic lip 3 but being arranged outside of it.
  • both embodiments can also be equipped with a corresponding lower elastic lip, which has the same configuration as the upper elastic lip 3 and in the same manner and way is attached.
  • the upper and the lower elastic lip are then each arranged symmetrically to the nozzle slot on the outer sides of the upper and lower lip of the coating device 1.
  • the nozzle slot is to be understood as the gap between the upper lip 6 and the lower lip 7.
  • the fastening and index holes are punched to size in the resilient band from which the elastic lips 3 and 4 are made.
  • the holes are used for the exact fixation of the lips and secure the desired position accurately.
  • the lips are fastened after they have been slid onto the dowel pins and then put on a terminal strip using the clamping screws, another suitable clamping device or magnetic.
  • the alignment of the elastic lips 3, 4 with respect to the front edge of the rigid upper and / or lower lip of the nozzle can be achieved or changed in that the clamping strips, which are provided with a stop for the elastic lip, are adjusted in different positions by means of adjusting screws can be, as will be explained with reference to FIG. 3.
  • Each of the terminal strips 8 and 9 in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 is equipped with a stop 21 or 22 for the elastic lip 3 or 4.
  • the upper lip 6 and the lower lip 7 of the slot nozzle 2 and the coating device 1 are designed so that set screws 23, 24 run parallel to the outer sides of the coating device 1 and each abut against a narrow side of the relevant terminal block 8 or 9.
  • the terminal strips on the outer sides of the coating device 1 can be moved and positioned.
  • the two elastic lips 3 and 4 project equally over the outlet opening 5 of the slot nozzle 2 and over the front edges 17 and 18 of the upper lip 6 and the lower lip 7, respectively.
  • the elastic lips 3 and 4 have dimensionally accurate holes 10 and 11, and are pushed onto dowel pins 12, 13 on the outer sides of the coating device 1.
  • the terminal strips 8 and 9 there are precise holes for the holes 10 and 11 of the elastic lips, and as soon as the elastic Lips are pushed onto the dowel pins 12 and 13, the terminal strips 8 and 9 are also pushed onto the dowel pins and screwed to the dowel pins, which have internal threads, by means of clamping screws 14 and 15.
  • the clamping device can also be designed in such a way that the clamping strips 8 and 9 consist of a magnetic material and, by magnetic attraction to the outside of the upper and lower lip 6 and 7, the elastic lips 3 and 4 lying between the outside and the clamping strips hold tight.
  • Such magnetic terminal strips can be used not only in the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 3, but also in all embodiments according to FIGS. 4 to 11.
  • a stepped geometry is preferred, for example, in which the lip 3, which is viewed further in the direction of web travel, is 25 to 250 ⁇ m further back further downgraded from a film carrier 25 than the front lip 4 viewed in the direction of web travel. Due to the resulting lower friction pressure under the rear lip 3, higher coating speeds without negative pressure or lower wet film thicknesses with a comparable negative pressure are possible than if both lips are equidistant from the film carrier 25 , which is guided over an application roller 19 (see. Fig. 5).
  • this stepped configuration ensures that when the carrier 25 approaches the coating nozzle, the first lip 4 seen in the direction of web travel can elastically deflect towards the slot nozzle 2 and the second lip 3, which is further back, is not contacted at all.
  • Theoretical calculations and experimental results require a distance that is in the range of one to two times the wet film thickness for a speed-independent driving style - without auxiliary procedures. In order to apply wet film thicknesses of approximately 30 ⁇ m, distances of 30 to 60 ⁇ m, for example, are required.
  • the interchangeable lips can be adjusted with respect to their angle of inclination to the nozzle gap either by changing the inclination of the outer sides of the coating device 1 or by placing wedge-shaped spacers under the elastic lip. Angles from 20 to 70 ° have proven effective. However, an arrangement with a second lip 3 (inclination 0 °) parallel to the nozzle gap also shows very good coating results. In this case, the second lip 3 also serves as a second nozzle jaw. In this case, the nozzle gap width is determined by narrow web-shaped spacers (not shown) between the rigid front jaw and the elastic rear jaw (cf. FIG. 6).
  • the inclination of the lip edges to the application roller or the film carrier can be influenced.
  • the lips are cut at right angles from a flat film.
  • Suitable cutting devices can also be used to set cutting angles other than 90 ° in order to improve the geometry with regard to the optimum coatability.
  • a lip geometry which is particularly favorable for coating processes and has a tangential inclination of the two lips or one of the two lips with respect to the application roller can be achieved in a simple manner by fixing the lips to the coating nozzle and slowly moving the latter to the rotating application roller. If the application roller was previously wrapped with emery cloth or liquid abrasive particles in the form of lapping pastes can be used, an exact tangential lip geometry. Instead of equipping the application roller with emery cloth accordingly, a suitable substrate, such as, for example, a matt, rough foil, a roughened metal strip or a carrier coated with abrasive particles, can be used for the grinding.
  • the exact lip geometry can also be ground in using a suitable substrate.
  • the slot nozzle 2 is only equipped with a single elastic lip 4 on the outside of the lower lip 7 of the slot nozzle 2, while the outside of the upper lip 6 does not have a lip.
  • the reverse can also be the case, namely that the upper lip 6 has a resilient or elastic lip, while the lower lip 7 remains lipless.
  • the lip which is the smallest distance from the film carrier to be coated is preferred in each case.
  • the other lip is then rigid, as in conventional coating nozzles, and to a certain extent includes the elastic spring or wear lip, ie in other words, it has the same outline as the other rigid one Lip of the slot die including the elastic spring or wear lip attached to it.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show two embodiments in which the elastic lips 3 and 4 are ground radially or flat, corresponding to the curvature of the application roller or contact surface 19, as has already been explained above.
  • a gap 27 between the elastic lips 3 and 4 is narrower than the nozzle gap or the opening cross section of the slot nozzle 2 between the rigid upper and lower lip 6 and 7 of the slot nozzle 2.
  • the chamfer width of the lips can be varied by changing the film thickness, e.g. in the range of 50 to 400 ⁇ m, in which the film materials have spring action.
  • the spring effect can be significantly increased for particularly wide chamfers by superimposing two or more foils.
