International Classification:

B05C 11/04

US Classification:

42742815, 42742814, 118123

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for coloring slats utilizes a roller, such as an Anilox roller, and enclosed doctor blade subassembly for metering an amount of colorant transferred to the object, and a felt-wiper subassembly for removing colorant from a roller, such as a discharge roller. The doctor blade subassembly includes a pair of side plates located at opposing ends of a doctor blade to enclose a portion of the roller and prevent colorant from building up on a side of the roller while the colorant is being applied to the roller and as excess colorant is being scraped off by the doctor blade. The felt-wiper subassembly includes a wiper blade and a felt insert that combine effectively to remove colorant that is deposited on a roller, such as a discharge roller, that contacts the object once the colorant has been transferred to the object.
