A coating apparatus includes: a container configured to accumulate a coating liquid; a rotatable coating bar arranged at an opening part so that the coating bar has a clearance between the coating bar and a downstream side end of an upstream side cover and a clearance between the coating bar and an upstream side end of a downstream side cover and a rotation axis direction of the coating bar is directed in a longitudinal direction of the container; a plurality of rotatable supports intermittently arranged along the rotation axis direction of the coating bar; and an in-liquid cover extending in the longitudinal direction of the container.

There is disclosed a selective wetting apparatus comprising a roller rotatable about a roller axis and comprising a wettable roller surface; an applicator unit having a lip which extends parallel to the roller axis and is radially spaced apart from the roller surface by a gap, wherein the applicator unit is to convey liquid agent towards the roller so that the liquid agent forms a liquid bridge over the gap to wet a wetted axial portion of the roller surface; and a flow guide to direct a gas flow into a regulated axial portion of the gap to locally prevent formation of a liquid bridge, and thereby prevent wetting of a corresponding axial portion of the roller surface.

An apparatus for applying a strip of elastomeric material to a surface, the apparatus comprising: a nozzle having an inlet in fluid communication with a pumping means, said nozzle having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the lower surface has a curved shape for mating engagement with an outer surface of a rotatable roller, said lower surface having an opening positioned for engagement with the roller outer surface.

The end seal with self-sealing insert includes a flexible, or compressible body, and a stiffer insert to reduce wear caused by the rotating anilox roller. The end seal with self-sealing insert places the recesses within the body beneath an expanded insert. The insert, when under pressure, seals the holes of the body, preventing introduction and accumulation of solvents. The result is a degradation-resistant end seal. By having extensions, also referred to as posts or legs, protruding from the insert that pass into the body, the reliance on adhesives is avoided. The reduction of the use of adhesives is helpful because adhesives are sensitive to solvents used in ink and to cleaning solutions. In the preferred embodiment, circular posts extend downward from the insert, passing into circular holes in the body.

Provided is an ultra large-width coating device applied to a consecutive process. More particularly, the present invention relates to a coating device capable of maximizing productivity by consecutively manufacturing a large-width film without reducing physical properties of the manufactured film by overcoming a problem in that a coating width is limited during a coating process using the existing contact type coating roller, and a method for manufacturing an ultra large-width membrane using the same.

Systems and methods in which dot-like portions of a material (e.g., a viscous material such as a solder paste) are printed or otherwise transferred onto an intermediate substrate at a first printing unit, the intermediate substrate having the dot-like portions of material printed thereon is transferred to a second printing unit, and the dot-like portions of material are transferred from the intermediate substrate to a final substrate at the second printing unit. Optionally, the first printing unit includes a coating system that creates a uniform layer of the material on a donor substrate, and the material is transferred in the individual dot-like portions from the donor substrate onto the intermediate substrate at the first printing unit. Each of the first and second printing units may employ a variety of printing or other transfer technologies. The system may also include material curing and imaging units to aid in the overall process.

There is disclosed a method of printing onto the surface of a substrate, which method comprises i) coating a donor surface with a monolayer of particles, ii) treating the substrate surface to render at least selected regions tacky, and iii) contacting the substrate surface with the donor surface to cause particles to transfer from the donor surface only to the tacky regions of the substrate surface. After printing on a substrate, the donor surface returns to the coating station where the continuity of the monolayer is restored by recovering with fresh particles the regions of the donor surface exposed by the transfer of particles to the substrate.

A web adhesive application device, adhesive application method, and the cardboard sheet manufacturing device are provided with: an adhesive liquid tank for storing an adhesive liquid; an adhesive application roll is configured for transferring the adhesive liquid to an adhesive application region adjusted according to a paper width of a bottom liner board to be glued together with a single face cardboard sheet; a doctor roller for adjusting the adhesive liquid to a set film thickness; scraping members in pressured contact with the surface of the adhesive application roll on the upstream side of the nip section with the doctor roller; and damming members in contact with the surface of the adhesive application roll on the upstream side of the nip section with the doctor roller in the rotation direction and on the downstream side of the scraping member contact positions in the rotation direction.

The present invention provides an adhesive layer coating unit configured to continuously apply an adhesive layer having a first width in a longitudinal direction of a first separator. The adhesive layer coating unit comprises: a transfer roller configured to support a bottom surface of the first separator and transfer the first separator; a discharge roller configured to transfer the first separator, which has passed through the transfer roller, in conjunction with the transfer roller while supporting a top surface of the first separator, wherein a coating groove having the first width and a closed curve shape is formed in a circumferential surface of the discharge roller; and a coating member configured to inject an adhesive into a space between the discharge roller and the top surface of the first separator which has passed through the transfer roller.

As the adhesive flows in the coating groove of the discharge roller, the adhesive layer having the first width is continuously applied on the top surface of the first separator.

The principles and embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for applying a catalytic coating to the outwardly facing edges of the cell walls of a catalytic substrate to reduce the amount of soot that accumulates at the entrances of the substrate cells that can increase back pressure and reduce the flow of exhaust gases through the substrate.
