Abstract
A fabric to have a latex coating of controlled thickness applied to its upper surface moves toward a drying oven. The lower surface of the moving fabric contacts a supporting bedplate. A latex coating is applied to the upper surface of the moving carpet across the width of the carpet. The moving carpet with the latex coating travels underneath a nip roll. A flexible nip blade is positioned underneath the nip roll so that the edge of the nip blade extends beyond the bottom dead center of the nip roll in the direction of the drying oven. Both the nip roll and the nip blade extend across the width of the moving carpet.
