Abstract:
A coater applies a coating medium onto a moving surface such as a fiber web. A coating element, such as a coater rod or coater blade, is configured for metering the coating medium to the moving surface. A profile bar assembly is connected to the mounting and movable toward and away from the coating element. The profile bar assembly includes a first profile bar attached to the mounting and a second profile bar removably attached to the first profile bar. Each of the first profile bar and the second profile bar carry a respective air load tube, with only one of the air load tubes engaging the coating element.
