Abstract: An apparatus for applying a treating mix onto the surface of a moving device in the coating of paper or board. The apparatus comprises a blade carrier (3), doctor means (4) attached to the blade carrier (3), a front wall (9) positioned a distance from the doctor means (4), a device (1) constituting the moving device, said device being arranged in conjunction with the front wall (9) and the doctor means such that it forms a chamber (6, 7) with the front wall (9) and the doctor means, and means (8) for supplying treating agent into an area of the application chamber (6, 7) which is at least essentially opposite to the moving surface. To prevent streaks, a screen plate (10) is fitted in the application chamber, at least partly dividing the application chamber (6, 7) such that with regard to the screen plate (10), the doctor means (4) is arranged on the opposite side thereof to the feed means for the treating agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus (10) for wrapping of an article. The apparatus comprises backing means (20) adapted to be moved against the first and second ends of the article and simultaneously to dispose a wrapper material against said ends. After said wrapper material is disposed against the first end the article is moved relative to the wrapping station and a web-like wrapper material roll (13) thereof such that wrapper material emerges simultaneously from the roll on the top of the article. First folding means (26) are arranged to fold the portions of the wrapper material extending over the width of the first end of the article against the sides. As the second end of the article reaches the backing means (20), said second end is correspondingly engaged with a second surface (21) of the backing means such that the wrapper material becomes disposed between said surface and said second end.
