Abstract: A rod-bed assembly has a holder (30) and an insert (20) removably and insertably supported in a groove (31) of the holder (30), the rod-bed assembly being for a rod (10) rotatably supported in a recess (21) on a front side of the insert (20). Longitudinal bending of the holder (30) in a cross-direction is under 0.5%, advantageously under 0.35%, of the longitudinal distance between two profiling loading points of the holder (30).

Abstract: A cradle for a film, coating, or sealing rod has a profile (10) that includes a base part (11), a rod groove (16), and a body part (14) between them. The rod groove (16) is arranged to receive the rod (12) between lips (20, 20?) edging the rod groove (16). The circumference lying against the rod (12) is formed at least partly of a slider piece (22), which is an insert-molded part of the profile (10), and which is of a material other than the material of the base part (11) and the body part (14).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus comprising a holder (2) for a doctor blade and a blade (1) to be fitted in the holder for use in a paper or board machine. The holder (2) and/or the blade (1) comprises a composite material of whose surface or on a part of whose surface a ceramic coating (6) has been made.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coating method and device for coating a size-press roll, paper or board or a corresponding moving base. The coating device comprises a revolving coating bar which rests against the moving base and extends across the machine width. The coating bar is supported in a cradle substantially over its entire length and is a large-diameter grooved bar fitted against the moving base. The coating bar spreads and smoothes a coating agent onto the moving base. The coating agent is introduced into the coating device in advance of the coating bar in the running direction of the moving base.

Abstract: A coating bar for a bar coater, wherein the coating bar is supported substantially over its entire length revolving in a cradle fixed to the frame of the coater. The coating bar is profiled and surface-treated by boronizing so that a layer of iron boride is applied to the profiled surface of the coating bar.

Abstract: Process for the manufacture of a coating bar for a bar coater, wherein the coating bar is supported substantially over its entire length revolving in a cradle fixed to the frame of the coater. The coating bar is profiled and surface-treated by boronizing.
