Abstract

An inline coating system has an introduction chamber comprising an introduction gate, a first buffer chamber which connects to the introduction chamber and which can be separated from the introduction chamber by means of a first sluice gate and other components. The first buffer chamber has a gap sluice device with at least one slit diaphragm, and when the first insertion gate is opened or closed, a pressure gradient within the first buffer chamber is adjusted between the pressure in the region of the second insertion gate and the pressure in the region of the first insertion gate.
