Pressure Feed Coating Application System

View page
US Patent:
6656529, Dec 2, 2003
Filed:
Oct 2, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/678228
Inventors:
Eugene A. Pankake - Newburgh IN, 47630
International Classification:
B05D 312
US Classification:
427356, 118261, 118413, 427428
Abstract:
The present invention includes a device and a method of applying a coating to a web. The preferred device comprises a feed nozzle coupled to a stiffener coupled to a spring coupled to a position/force adjuster. The feed nozzle comprises a fluid reservoir, a feed pipe, a metering surface, end seals and a back seal. The stiffener spring, as the frame deflects and polymer covered rolls deform, permits the rotation of the feed nozzle so a proper geometry is maintained, permitting increased control and a wider film thickness control range for a specific nozzle shape. This device permits greater film thickness control, ability to process at much higher speeds than currently achievable, and a wider range of film thickness. This device permits coatings to be applied at much wider ranges of rheological characteristics. Coatings can be applied at higher percent solids with improved characteristics.

Appl. No.:
10/707278
Inventors:
Eugene A. Pankake - Newburgh IN, US
International Classification:
B05C 302

US Patent:
7559990, Jul 14, 2009
Filed:
Oct 13, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/711927
Inventors:
Eugene A Pankake - Newburgh IN, US
International Classification:
B05B 3/02
US Classification:
118413, 118602, 118261
Abstract:
Two embodiments of end seal design are described, each having preferably three seal lips, one of which differs in the center of its radius of curvature from the center of radius of curvature for the other two seal lips. The end seal is gently spring loaded. In this way the end seal provides a good seal and minimizes spray, spatter, and slinging, and can accommodate various plunge depths and can accommodate various angles of attack of a nozzle upon an application surface such as a web or applicator roll. The nozzle is able to have any of various user-determined angles of attack upon the application surface.

Roll Coating System

View page
US Patent:
57439648, Apr 28, 1998
Filed:
Jan 24, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/378305
Inventors:
Eugene A. Pankake - Newburgh IN
Assignee:
FATA Hunter, Inc. - Riverside CA
International Classification:
B05C 100
US Classification:
118712
Abstract:
A roll coating system for coating strip metal having a plurality of coating head rolls mounted on support sleds capable of linear translation along a single rail. Precision linear actuators are located between each support sled and between one of the sleds and a fourth sled. A splice traverse mechanism actuated by a piston/cylinder displaces the fourth sled. Each of the rolls can be independently displaced or the entire head can be displaced by the splice traverse mechanism. Force measurement sensors are located in the support sleds for an accurate measurement of nip pressures between the respective rolls. The elastic response of the support sleds may be varied to alter the natural resonant frequency of the coating system. The movement of a pan lift mechanism is coupled to the movement of the pickup roll so as to eliminate the chance for collision therebetween. The movement of a lift roll in a double coating environment, or the movement of a pass line roll in a U-wrap environment may be coupled with the movement of the roll coating head.
