The curtain coater comes in two types :(1) pressure head and(2) gravity feed. The pressure head is essentially a V-shaped reservoir made airtight by a removable cover and fitted across the bottom with an adjustable gap. A variable-speed, positive-displacement pump sends adhesive into the reservoir. Spread control is determined by the width of the knife gap, the pump speed, and the viscosity of the glue... The gravity feed system is the forerunner of the pressure head. The application method is quite similar, with one important difference : the curtain velocity cannot be controlled. The curtain falls as a waterfall, the weight controlled by mass and height. 1, record 4, English, - curtain%20coater

The traditional means of spreading glue is the roll spreader. A film of adhesive is metered onto the roll spreader, which consists of a grooved rubber roll. The thickness of the adhesive film is set by a doctor roll. The spread of the adhesive can be varied, within limits, by adjusting the clearance between the doctor roll and the spreader roll. 2, record 5, English, - doctor%20roll
