Affecting Quality Before the Metering Size Press, 2002 Metered Size Press Forum
The metering size press installations involve unique process considerations that are dependent on the equipment
installed and the grades produced. The following discussion reviews the impact of the various components before
the metering size press and how their use and design play a critical role in the delivery of consistent quality coating
to the metering size press. When this auxiliary equipment is poorly designed, poorly used, or poorly maintained the
quality delivered to the metering size press may be compromised. This discussion focuses on the detrimental effects
when air, water or debris is introduced into the size or coating supply.
