  • Patent number: 6378226
    Abstract: Each screen drum design has, in front of the rotating screen drum which transports the web, a stationary screen cover whose purpose is retention of the dry air coming from the fan, uniform throughput of the air through the screen cover, and a uniform drying process over the width of the web. The screen cover has a perforation whose permeability is adapted to the degree of drying. At the beginning of the drying process, when the web is not yet very permeably, the screen cover is to be perforated provided a smaller free air throughput surface and, as the degree of dryness increases, a larger free air throughput surface by making the holes larger in diameter or provided a larger number of holes per unit surface.

  • Patent number: 6257028
    Abstract: The treatment device includes a container for a treatment fluid, in which a drum around which the web loops rotates eccentrically. The drum is made up of axis-parallel, hollow, sealed rods and possesses a drum shaft structured as a hollow shaft, which together produce a buoyancy which makes up a significant part of the weight of the drum and the drum shaft. The drum is suspended at one end via stretchably elastic drive belts, and at the other end on tension springs, which catch the remaining weight. The drum shaft is eccentrically mounted on an eccentric shaft. The eccentric shaft is provided with equalization weights. All of the measures act together to allow low-vibration operation, towards the outside, of the treatment device.

  • Patent number: 5609046
    Abstract: A device for continuous treatment of sheet material or the the like includes a permeable drum for wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper or other permeably materials of a certain width having a normal perforated sheet metal drum jacket, upon which sheet metal strips extending longitudinally over the length of the drum are welded at a spacing from one another. The sheet metal strips improve the uniform ventilation of the material lying externally on the a screen mesh covering on the edges of the sheet metal strips and in addition increase the resistance of the drum to bulging.

  • Patent number: 5575080
    Abstract: A permeable sheet-metal drum for the wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper or other permeable material of a certain width comprises a normal perforated sheet-metal drum body, on which, along the length of the drum body, projecting sheet-metal strips are attached at a distance from one another. The attachment is achieved by means of bolts or rivets which are inserted into a transverse flange of each metal strip which is perforated like the perforations of the drum and extends perpendicular to each of the sheet-metal strips. The sheet-metal strips increase the drum's resistance to denting and improve the uniform ventilation of the textile or like material lying externally on the edges of the sheet-metal strips on a screen mesh covering.

  • Patent number: 5570594
    Abstract: A permeable drum for wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper or such permeable materials of a certain width comprises narrow sheet metal strips or narrow webs. The sheet metal strips extend in an axially parallel direction. Connector members between the sheet metal strips are aligned in the peripheral direction. The connector members, also serving as spacers, are of a one-piece design and connect to adjacent sheet metal strips. Secure connection of the spacers to the sheet metal strips is effected by screws. Radially inward beneath the inner edges of the strips is a sheet metal jacket, provided with apertures, having its axis arranged in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the permeable drum. This additional sheet metal jacket causes a certain dynamic pressure of the air flowing through the permeable drum, so that the treatment result is rendered more uniform. Furthermore, the precision of rotation of the permeable drum construction is increased.

  • Patent number: 5301521
    Abstract: An apparatus for continuous fabric decatizing, comprising a cylindrical drum, the outer lateral surface of which is covered with a sleeve of textile material about which the fabric is fed, the cylindrical drum and the sleeve being at least partially covered and embraced externally by an endless under-piece of textile material arranged so that at least one portion of the under-piece maintains the fabric in contact with the sleeve, the rotary drum being perforated and supported on a fixed coaxial inner cylinder having a diameter less than the drum and being maintained spaced therefrom by radial wall extensions which are positioned within the portion of the lateral surface of the drum in which the fabric is maintained in contact with the sleeve, and are connected together to define a chamber containing an atmosphere of steam under pressure fed from the outside of the fixed cylinder, and a subsequent forced suction treatment chamber.

  • Patent number: 5052197
    Abstract: A highly permeable drum for the wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper or other permeable materials of a certain width consists solely of narrow sheet metal strips and narrow webs, the extension in width of which is oriented in the radial direction. The sheet metal strips extend axially parallel, and the spacers extend perpendicularly thereto. In accordance with further development of this known structure, the connecting-locking elements to be arranged between the sheet metal strips consist of elements extending from a space between two sheet metal strips into the neighboring space. The result is a simple, readily mountable, and more lightweight construction of the drum shell.

  • Patent number: 4970879
    Abstract: A highly permeable drum for the wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper or other permeable materials of a certain width has an outer shell comprising narrow sheet metal strips and narrow webs, the extension in width of which is oriented in the radial direction. The sheet metal strips extend axially parallel. According to the further development of this basic structure, the sheet metal strips each consist of at least two strips of half thickness arranged proximate to each other. The juxtaposed sheet metal strips are arranged radially offset with respect to one another so that, at an outer periphery, only half of the total thickness of a sheet metal strip is provided, which arrangement substantially increases the air permeability of the drum.

  • Patent number: 4912945
    Abstract: The permeable drum for the wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper, or other permeable materials of a certain width consists solely of narrow sheet metal strips or narrow webs. The sheet metal strips extend axially parallel, their extension in width being oriented in the radial direction. The webs are oriented in the peripheral direction and form parts of the connecting elements between the sheet metal strips, these connecting elements carrying the screen-type cover. The connecting elements, also serving as spacers, are formed of one piece and connect two neighboring sheet metal strips. Connection of the spacers with the sheet metal strips is achieved by headless screws. The proximate ends of the two screws succeeding each other in the peripheral direction are threaded into a nut which latter, in turn, can be encompassed by a fitting connecting element.
