  • Patent number: 8012055
    Abstract: The invention relates to a press belt (1) made from an elastomer material and forming a closed loop, the belt having an inner surface (2) and an outer surface (3) and three layers of reinforcement yarns (7?, 5?, 6?) arranged inside the elastomer material. In the invention, an outermost yarn layer (7) is formed by longitudinal and transversely adjacent reinforcement yarns (7?) of the press belt (1), which absorb energy and are restored from deformation with delay in connection with deformation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 2005
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2011

  • Patent number: 6605188
    Abstract: Transfer belt for a paper machine, comprising a base structure (2) and a fiber batt layer (3) attached to the base structure and facing the fiber web. At least the fiber batt layer side of the belt is provided with a polymer matrix (4) impregnating the fiber batt layer (3). According to the idea of the invention, the transfer belt fiber batt layer comprises at least two fibers with different surface properties, the transfer belt surface facing the fiber web being thus provided with hydrophilic and, correspondingly, hydrophobic areas. The fibers in the fiber batt layer may differ from one another with regard to their polarity, hydrophilicity, electric charge, surface energy, friction properties, degree of fineness or porosity.
