Above circumferential surfaces of the odd-numbered cylinders of these cylinders, the first face-side coating unit, the second face-side coating unit, and the face-side drying unit are arranged. Below circumferential surfaces of the even-numbered cylinders, the first back-side coating unit, the second back-side coating unit, and the back-side drying unit are arranged. Above the circumferential surfaces of the odd-numbered cylinders, a first face-side drying device and a second face-side drying device, each of which has one dryer, are disposed downstream of the first face-side coating unit and the second face-side coating unit, respectively. Below the circumferential surfaces of the even-numbered cylinders, a first back-side drying device and a second back-side drying device, each of which has one dryer, are disposed downstream of the first back-side coating unit and the second back-side coating unit, respectively.Other References
