Abstract:
A coating machine for the application of a coating medium onto a moving surface having a direction of travel, the moving surface being one of a fiber material web and an applicator roll, said coating machine comprising:a coater rod bed;a coater rod embedded in said coater rod bed;at least one load device configured for applying a force F.sub.1 to said coater rod bed, to thereby bring said coater rod into contact with the moving surface;a carrier including a rail, said rail supporting said coater rod bed; anda force generating device configured for generating a counter force F.sub.G and for applying said counter force F.sub.G to said coater rod bed in opposition to said force F.sub.1 generated by said at least one load device, said force F.sub.1 being given byF.sub.1 =F.sub.H +F.sub.G,wherein F.sub.H is a hydrodynamic force which is applied onto said coater rod by the coating medium.
