Abstract:
A coating apparatus can be used to concurrently coat both sides of a substrate while assuring a VOC free atmosphere outside the equipment. The coating apparatus can be used in-line, where flat materials and substrates that are typically carried along a conveyer may enter the coating apparatus, usually without requiring the substrate to be moved into any other configuration. The coating apparatus may be configured to permit the user to perform any number of treatment steps while providing isolation between the steps. The substrate can be partially suspended by the coating apparatus to permit both sides to be treated at the same time. A vacuum system, including redundant perimeter negative pressure venting ducts, can create a vacuum perimeter wall around the moving, treated material to ensure a VOC free atmosphere outside the coating apparatus.

Claim (Index 5):
The coating apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising vacuum tubing attached to pull suction at the at least one upper assembly vacuum opening and the at least one lower assembly vacuum opening, the at least one vacuum opening removing vapor from the treatment zone.
