  • Patent number: 9937521
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a method for spraying a chemical solution that makes it possible to uniformly apply a chemical solution onto a moving body and that exhibits excellent spraying efficiency. [Solution] The present invention is directed to a method for spraying a chemical solution in which, in a dry part D of a paper-making machine, a chemical solution is continuously sprayed onto a moving body that guides wet paper X, while a nozzle device S is reciprocating in directions orthogonal to a moving direction of the moving body with the moving body in motion, wherein: the moving body is a cylindrical dryer roller D1 or an endless canvas K1; and a travel distance H that the nozzle device S moves during a single rotation of the moving body and a width W of a sprayed area that is formed on the moving body by the nozzle device S satisfy the relationship represented by the following expression: 0.5?H/W?20.
