Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method and apparatus for reducing the rate of wear of a doctor blade in a paper coating machine.
  • a doctor blade is employed in a paper coating machine for removing surplus coating composition and smoothing and levelling the film of coating composition which has been applied to a surface of a moving web of paper.
  • doctor blade which is usually made of spring steel and is relatively thin so that it has a degree of flexibility which enables it to conform approximately to the coated surface of the paper web and to bend to open up a narrow slit between the upper surface of the paper web and the edge of the blade which determines the thickness of the film of coating composition which is allowed to remain on the surface of the web.
  • the edge of the blade is biased by suitable means against the upper surface of the web, which is supported on a roll which is generally provided with an outer surface of a resilient material such as rubber or other elastomeric material.
  • the magnitude of the biasing force which is applied determines the width of the slit which opens up, and hence the thickness, or weight per unit area, of the coating which remains on the surface of the paper web.
  • the length of the doctor blade is generally made to be greater than the length of the backing roll on which the moving paper web is supported. Typically, the ends of the doctor blade might overhang the ends of the backing roll by about 10mm on each side. Also, the width of the paper web is generally arranged to be less than the length of the backing roll. Again, typically, the edges of the paper web fall short of the ends of the backing roll by about 10mm. Furthermore, the width of the area of the web of paper which is actually coated with the wet coating composition is less than the width of the paper web. An uncoated margin usually of approximately 10mm in width generally exists at each of the edges of the paper web.
  • EP-A-460,771 describes a process and apparatus for eliminating or alleviating the problem of 'stalagmite' formation on the immediate downstream side of a doctor blade.
  • the solution is to supply a fluid which will inhibit the formation of stalagmites.
  • the fluid, steam, water or a steam/water mixture is supplied in an evenly distributed manner across substantially the width of the downstream side of the doctor blade. No special treatment at the ends of the doctor blade is suggested.
  • apparatus for cooling a selected region of a doctor blade of a paper coating machine comprises an atomiser head which is rigidly mountable in such a way as to direct a mist of coolant liquid droplets on to the selected region of the doctor blade, means for supplying a gas and a coolant liquid to the atomiser head under controlled conditions of flow rate and pressure to form the said mist and facing wall members mounted so as to enclose the atomiser head and define a region in which the blade is to be contacted by the mist of liquid droplets.
  • a stream of a gas is also directed on to the selected region of the doctor blade.
  • the gas is conveniently air from a compressed air supply which is passed through a suitable device which removes energy from a stream of the air and thus lowers the temperature thereof.
  • the atomiser head of each apparatus is, in use, desirably located relative to the doctor blade in such a manner that the coolant mist provided from the atomiser head of each apparatus is directed onto the blade in its selected regions on the underside surface of the blade, ie the surface facing the paper passing under the blade.
  • a device 1 for cooling a selected region of the doctor blade 2 of a paper coating machine is mounted on a top edge of a wall 3 of a pan 4 which contains a paper coating composition.
  • a web of paper (not shown) is supported and advanced in a clockwise direction by a backing roll 5, and coating composition is applied to one surface of the web of paper by means of an applicator device which is indicated diagrammatically at 6.
  • the device 1 is arranged to cool the underside of the blade 2, ie the surface of the blade 2 facing the roll 5 in the selected region of the blade 2.
  • the doctor blade 2 is mounted on supporting means 7 which can also apply a force which biases the blade against the backing roll and against the web of paper supported thereon.
  • the cooling device 1 comprises an enclosure 8 in the form of an open-topped box having two side walls 9 and 10, a front wall 11, a rear wall 12 and a base plate 13. Flexible rubber sealing strips 14 and 15 are sandwiched between the side walls 9 and 10 and side plates 16 and 17, the sealing strips 14, 15 each having a bevelled edge 18 which contacts the surface of the backing roll 5, and makes a waterproof seal therewith. On each side the assembly of side wall, sealing strip and side plate is held together by a nut and bolt assembly 19.
  • the rear wall 12 of the enclosure 8 is provided with two fixing holes 20, which enable the cooling device 1 to be secured to the supporting means 7 for the doctor blade 2.
  • Figure 4 shows the position of the cooling device relative to the blade 2 and roll 5 and paper thereon.
  • the blade 2 contacts paper 31 of a moving web running over the roll 5.
  • the ends of the roll 5 overlap the width of the paper 31.
  • the paper 31 has a region 33 which has been coated and has dry, uncoated edges 35, 37 at the sides of the region 33.
  • the blade 2 which is longer than the roll 5 becomes hot and wears especially where it contacts the dry paper edges 35, 37.
  • the cooling device and method embodying the invention substantially lubricates and reduces the temperature of the blade edge where it is in contact with rapidly moving dry paper, and the effective life of a blade is thus considerably prolonged so that a very advantageous reduction in the frequency of shut-downs of the paper coating machine is achieved without the use of excessive amounts of coolant liquid.
