Abstract:
A device (4) for applying a viscous liquid, in particular an MFC dispersion, onto a moving substrate (52) comprises an inlet (72, 73a-73f) for the viscous liquid, a casting chamber (61a, 61b), a lower portion of which being open to the substrate (52), and a metering portion (69, 661), for limiting a thickness of a wet film that is formed on the substrate downstream of the device. The device further comprises a shear section (42) arranged inside the casting chamber (61a, 61b). The shear section (42) comprises a fluidization rod (68), arranged in the casting chamber (61a, 61b), for providing shearing of the viscous liquid inside the casting chamber (61a, 61b).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a dispenser device for and a method of applying a structural adhesive to an application surface on a wind turbine blade structure, wherein the dispenser device comprises a housing forming a reservoir configured to hold a surplus of structural adhesive during dispensing. The reservoir is connected to an inlet for supplying the structural adhesive and an outlet for dispensing the structural adhesive. The outlet may be a side opening arranged in an exchangeable housing part. The dispenser device may also comprise an adjustable mechanism connected to a plate member configured to be moved relative to the side opening. The operation of the adjustable mechanism is controlled via a control unit or a control element. The exchangeable housing part or adjustable mechanism enables the cross-sectional profile, the width and/or the height of the dispensed structural adhesive to be changed before or during dispensing.
Abstract:
There is provided an applicator that applies a coating liquid onto the upper surface of a web, and an application method which are capable of sufficiently enhancing the evenness of a coating surface. The applicator includes: a bar which rotates while coming into contact with the upper surface of the continuously travelling web via the coating liquid; and a barrier plate which is provided on an upstream side of the bar in a travelling direction of the web and allows the coating liquid to flow in a direction toward the web between the barrier plate and the bar, in which, when a distance between the barrier plate and an end edge portion of the bar, which is closest to the barrier plate, is referred to as A and a distance between the barrier plate and the web is referred to as B, A is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, B is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, and B≤A is satisfied.
Abstract:
A dimensionally stable universal floor covering includes a tufted textile having stitches and a reinforcement layer operatively connected to the stitches to provide dimensional stability for the entire floor covering. The reinforcement layer is made of fibers that are initially contained within a composition of adhesive and fibers. Mixing of the adhesive/fibers composition and/or injection of compressed air, assists in preparing the adhesive and fiber composition to be in the preferred condition and position prior to the forming of the reinforcement layer. Multiple sources of pressure, including vacuum, are applied in a controlled manner for moving the adhesive and fiber composition to form a reinforcement layer of fibers that is operatively connected to the stitches and/or to form a layer of fibers and adhesive that is contained within the stitches. The universal floor covering is selectively cut and transported in a roll for installation, and it can be conveniently recycled if necessary.
Abstract:
A dimensionally stable floor covering, comprising a tufted textile substrate and a reinforcement layer wherein vacuum is used to move adhesive into stitch portions of the yarns and into the back side of the primary backing substrate to provide increased dimensional stability for the entire floor covering. Mixing of reinforcement fibers and adhesive takes place before in situ filtration of the adhesive and fibers. Further, compressed air is injected into the adhesive/fiber composition to provide spaces between the fibers before application of pressure to the composition. The vacuum, mixing, and injection of compressed air assist in preparing the adhesive and fiber composition to be in the preferred condition and position before the application of pressure to the composition.

Abstract:
A method for spreading a resin paste onto a carrier film includes feeding resin paste into a doctor blade unit having a doctor blade, using a feed device that includes a discharge opening through which the resin paste is fed from the feed device into the doctor blade unit, moving a carrier film on a base surface through a doctor blade gap that is formed between the doctor blade and the base surface, and spreading the resin paste onto the carrier film using the doctor blade. The discharge opening is positioned to be immersed into the resin paste that is in the doctor blade unit during operation of a doctor blade apparatus configured to perform the method. A resin mat installation for producing resin mats, particularly of SMC, includes at least one doctor blade apparatus as described above.
Abstract:
A coating apparatus includes a first water repellent portion that is formed on a liquid supply surface provided in a liquid supply platform to once retain a liquid to be transferred to a coating object, and a hydrophilic portion that is formed around the first water repellent portion. Further, a coating method includes supplying a liquid to a top surface of a liquid supply platform, which is a liquid supply surface formed with a water repellent portion and a hydrophilic portion disposed around the water repellent portion, and transferring by pressing a coating object of the liquid against the liquid that is retained by the liquid supply surface.
Abstract:
A device for depositing at least one especially thin layer onto at least one substrate includes a process chamber housed in a reactor housing and includes a movable susceptor which carries the at least one substrate. A plurality of gas feed lines run into said process chamber and feed different process gases which comprise layer-forming components. Said process gases can be fed to the process chamber in subsequent process steps, thereby depositing the layer-forming components onto the substrate. In order to increase throughput, the process chamber is provided with a plurality of separate deposition chambers into which different gas feed lines run, thereby feeding individual gas compositions. The substrate can be fed to said chambers one after the other by moving the susceptor and depositing different layers or layer components.
Abstract:
An apparatus for depositing a thin film basically consists of a base, two lateral boards and two sealing members to form a closed chamber therein. Each lateral board is provided with a substrate on an inner side thereof. Each substrate has a side in contact with a chemical solution in the chamber to deposit a thin film on the side of the substrate through a chemical reaction.
