Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and a device for the coating of running substrates (25) moving along a run direction through a treatment zone (6), in which the vapor of a coating material is generated in a chamber (5), this vapor passing through a treatment aperture towards the treatment zone (6) where the coating material condenses on the surface of the substrates (25). The vapor flow through the treatment aperture is controlled by adjusting the extent to which the treatment aperture is shut off by at least one shutter (13), between an open position, in which said vapor flows through the treatment aperture towards the treatment zone (6), and a closed position, in which the vapor is prevented from flowing towards the treatment zone (6) through the treatment aperture.
