Definitions

  • the invention relates to a curtain applicator for coating a running paper, cardboard or other fibrous web, comprising a disposed above the fibrous web and at least the width of the fibrous web corresponding curtain applicator for dispensing at least one liquid to pasty application medium in the form of a on or multi-layer curtain, which falls substantially to gravity following the fibrous web, wherein for guiding the curtain across its fall away, ie between a spoiler edge of the applicator head and the surface of the fibrous web is provided at its two edges depending an edge guide element, wherein the edge guide element in the width direction the curtain is adjustable.
  • the invention also relates to a process for curtain coating.
  • a generic device and a method is for example from the DE 197 35 588 known.
  • a separate partial stream of coating color of the inner surface of an immediately adjacent to the outlet slit of the slot nozzle of the curtain guide element is supplied.
  • a separating element is still arranged, which separates the respective edge of the curtain and discharges to the outside.
  • An embodiment of a curtain commissioned work is among others from the EP-A1- 1 255 615 known and is referred to in professional circles as "Slide Die", ie Gleit Anlagendüse.
  • This so-called Sliding layer nozzle contains at least two application medium chambers, from which the medium passes in each case via a feed gap, which in turn merges into a slot-shaped discharge nozzle, onto a sliding surface of the sliding layer nozzle.
  • the application medium emerging from the discharge nozzles arranged in parallel one behind the other overlaps one another.
  • this multilayer separates and falls down as a multilayer curtain either initially on an intermediate guide plate or directly on the substrate to be coated or the surface of the moving fibrous web.
  • the coating width can be equal to or less than the width of the fibrous web, which is referred to as "inboard" -Fahrweise.
  • the curtain width is greater than the width of the fibrous web.
  • edge guide elements bring the curtain, which is about 200m long, close to the fibrous web.
  • the amount of liquid is thus enormously high and is about 10 to 15l / h
  • edge guide elements including the solutions shown in the cited documents
  • the structures of the edge guide elements are complicated. They are subject to high wear and can also be poorly cleaned.
  • the edge guide element has a cover plate and a bottom plate and consists of two superposed, separate chambers, each having a U-shaped cross section, wherein the first chamber is above the second chamber, the first chamber a fluid or Liquid inlet and the second chamber has a fluid or liquid drain and both chambers are closed at their respective edge of the curtain facing open side of the U-section with a continuous wall such that on the one between the cover plate and the upper edge of the wall in the first Chamber located overflow gap remains. It serves to produce a fluid or liquid film which contacts the respective curtain edge and thereby runs down a drainage surface of the wall.
  • the edge guide element according to the invention and thus also the curtain applicator are characterized by a simple construction. To guide the curtain only a small amount of fluid or liquid is needed. The unwanted color beads at the edges of the surface of the fibrous web are caused by the proper guidance of the curtain and without the curtain is constricted, avoided.
  • the edge guide element in particular its drainage surface contacting the relevant curtain edge, can be easily cleaned due to its simple construction.
  • the cleaning work but also the drainage behavior, if the drainage surface made of stainless steel or aluminum. It is advantageous if this surface is polished or has a roughness value Ra of 0.8 to 1.0.
  • the drainage surface may also be made of plastic, in particular Teflon, which shows a good flow behavior.
  • suction opening is arranged centrally in the drain wall and parallel to the fluid or liquid withdrawal faces.
  • fluid or liquid for the running fluid or liquid film preferably water is provided.
  • a water / coating mixture or, with regard to keeping the drainage surface clean, a mixture which contains surface-active substances, such as commercially available surfactants.
  • the suction opening for the discharged fluid or liquid is about 1 x 5mm in size.
  • This suction opening can be incorporated both vertically and horizontally in the drain wall. Conceivable, however, would be other opening geometries, for example, circular openings. Alternately, in the bottom plate, a lateral slot for a suction or in addition still a paragraph be incorporated.
  • the said overflow gap in the upper chamber is about 10 to 20 mm wide.
  • the bottom plate of the edge guide element is formed obliquely, so that the slope is adapted to the course of a likewise obliquely running fibrous web. It is conceivable that the bottom plate can be adjusted at a desired angle. This gives you the opportunity to use the edge guiding element, which is supposed to be very close to the fibrous web running underneath, both for horizontal, as well as obliquely in upwardly or downwardly running fibrous webs. Conceivable, of course, are also made on stock edge guide elements with differently shaped or slanted at different angles floor panels.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved by a method according to claim 11.
  • the method is used to coat a running paper, board or other fibrous web during its coating within a manufacturing or finishing process of the fibrous web with at least one liquid to pasty application medium, which in the form of a single or multilayer curtain, which is substantially gravity following freely falling from the top of the fibrous web is applied.
  • the curtain is guided over its fall path between a tear-off edge and the surface of the fibrous web, in each case at its lateral edge, each with an edge guide element.
  • the width of the curtain can be adjusted by shifting the edge guide element in the transverse direction.
  • a curtain width is set which is smaller than the width of the fibrous web.
  • the curtain coating is operated in so-called "inboard" mode of operation, which allows for a better-than-previously-executed curtain and, at the same time, increases the quality of the order. whereby the printing properties of the paper or cardboard produced, for example, increase.
  • a fluid or a liquid is supplied to the edge guide element for guiding the curtain.
  • This supplied fluid is guided in the first chamber of the edge guide element upwards and passed through a narrow overflow gap. Thereafter, the fluid or the liquid flows down over a drain surface of the edge guide element and from there to the outside.
  • the economy of the method can be increased if the drained via a drain liquid or the fluid or liquid film, fed to a separator and then fed by a vacuum pump in the circuit to the fluid or liquid feed of the edge guide element.
  • the method can be made very effective if the amount of fluid film is controlled and / or regulated.
  • FIG. 1 is a curtain applicator 1 shown for coating a running paper, cardboard or other fibrous web 2 with a liquid to pasty application medium. It includes, in addition to some not shown here units, such as air boundary layer control devices, start-stop-Auffang wornen or tubs, measuring equipment, feed lines, etc. above the fibrous web 2 and spaced therefrom arranged and only slightly hinted curtain application head 3.
  • This gun 3 may be formed as a so-called Gleit harshdüse or slot nozzle and is machine width, so over the width of the fibrous web 2 reaching executed.
  • the application head 3 can be designed both for a multi-layer application and for a single-layer application with which a single-layer or multi-layer curtain 4 can be produced.
  • the curtain 4 drops from the tear-off edge 5 of the applicator head 3 substantially following the force of gravity down onto the fibrous web 2 and deposits on its surface as a coating layer AS.
  • the curtain applicator 1 has a lateral, columnar trained edge guide element 6 respectively on the leader side FS and Drive side TS on.
  • This edge guide element 6 serves to guide and also limit the size of the approximately 200 mm long single-layer or multi-layer curtain 4 between the tear-off edge 6 and the surface of the fibrous web 2 at its lateral edges 4a and 4b.
  • the edge guide element 6 is adjustable in the width direction of the curtain 4, as the horizontal double arrows show. In the examples shown, the two edge guide elements 6 are within the width of the fibrous web 2, which is referred to as "inboard" -Fahrweise.
  • FIG. 2 is the edge guide element 6 made FIG. 1 , seen from the side, shown in section. It can be seen that the edge guide element 6 has a cover plate 7 and a bottom plate 8.
  • the edge guide element 6 consists of two superimposed, separate chambers 9 and 10, wherein the first chamber 9 is located above the second chamber 10.
  • the first ie the upper chamber 9 has a fluid or liquid inlet 11 and the second, that is, the lower chamber 10 has a drain 12.
  • Both nozzles or pipes for inlet 11 and outlet 12 point outwards.
  • Both chambers 9 and 10 also have a wall 13 spanning them both. This wall 13 serves the actual guidance of the curtain and therefore contacted with their curtain side facing the respective curtain edge.
  • FIG. 4 It is shown that the chambers 9 and 10 each have a U-shaped cross-section. It can also be seen that the wall 13 has been inserted with its drainage surface 18 in the open side of the U-section facing the curtain edge 4a .4b.
  • overflow gap 15 and / or the suction opening 17 are adjustable in size.
  • the overflow gap is about 10 to 20mm wide. Equally wide is the drainage surface 19 and the wall 13.
  • the suction opening 17 is aligned dare and rectangular. It has a size of 1 x 5mm. In addition, this opening 17 is located directly above the bottom plate and is arranged centrally in the wall 13 parallel to the drain 12.
  • Both chambers 9 and 10 of the edge guide element 6 are otherwise separated from each other by a transverse wall 20.
  • water is preferably used as a fluid or liquid for the running fluid or liquid film 18, which is incidentally also controlled and regulated in its amount.
  • water is preferably used.
  • it is also a water / coating mixture or a mixture of water and surface-active substances, such as commercial surfactants used.
  • FIG. 5 a circuit diagram is shown. This illustrates that the liquid discharged via the outlet 12 of the edge guide element 6 or the fluid or liquid film 18 is sucked to the outside and is fed via a line 21 to a separator 22.
  • the solid-particle-containing liquid is discharged via a drain 23, while the "clean" liquid is sucked out of the separator 22 by means of a vacuum pump 24.
  • This liquid is available as a renewed liquid feed for the edge guide element 6.
  • a flow meter and control valve 25 the desired amount of fluid or liquid is fed via a line to the inlet 11 of the edge guide element.
