  • the invention also deals with a corresponding method.
  • the invention also deals with an installation for producing surface covering elements, such as tiles and sheets, comprising such a device, and with a method for producing surface covering elements.
  • the layer of substrate may be a thermoplastic layer, based on PVC, or a material only serving as carrier and intended or not intended to remain in the surface covering element.
  • Spread coating is efficient in order to rapidly lay a paste over an existing layer of substrate. It can be used successively to obtain several superimposed layers.
  • One of the most used tool to apply a layer of paste is the knife over roll process.
  • a coating defect may occur.
  • the defect appears as droplets of paste which are constantly released on the substrate while coating. This is detrimental to the uniformity and quality of the layer of paste.

  • the device 10 may have other rolls (not represented) analogous to the roll 29.
  • the chassis 27 is either for the whole installation 10 or just for the device 10.

  • the knife 31 comprises a first surface 35 ( Figure 3 ) facing the roll 29 in the working position, and defining a gap 37 with the roll through which the layer of substrate 20 is intended to circulate and to drive the paste 15 by friction from upstream the knife for forming the layer 33 downstream of the knife.
  • upstream and downstream are defined by the rotation of the roll 29, creating a flow of the paste 15.

  • the first surface 35 is for example flat.
  • the first surface 35 is approximately parallel to a peripheral surface 43 of the roll 29, and to a surface 45 of the layer of substrate 20 that is not in contact with the roll 29.
