摘要:
A substrate for an endless belt in a papermaking machine comprising a plurality of preformed layers coated or impregnated with a polymeric or rubber material. Each preformed layer may be a textile material. At least one layer contains a matrix of preformed reinforcing components. The individual layers are first coated with a polymer resin or rubber material and then combined/stacked and cured/bonded to form the substrate of the belt.
摘要:
A belt for use in a long nip press having an arcuate pressure shoe. The belt has at least one layer having a polymer resin coating on at least one surface thereof. The resin coating has a plurality of grooves arranged therein and wherein a number of the grooves has a length less than a length of the arcuate pressure shoe to reduce ingoing nip spray.
摘要:
A laminated substrate or base structure comprising separately formed layers with warp knitted or stitch bonded yarns joining the layers together wherein at least one of the layers is a reinforcing layer and at least one of the layers is for inhibiting resin flow through the substrate. A method for forming the substrate or base structure into a coated papermaker's process belt product is also described.
摘要:
A long nip press belt for a papermaking machine has a textile substrate impregnated and coated on at least one side with a polymeric resin material. The polymeric resin material is ground and buffed after being cured to provide the belt with a smooth surface and a uniform thickness. The textile substrate includes textile components (monofilaments, continuous fine filaments or staple fibers) having non-circular cross sections with a plurality of lobes. Such cross sections provide the textile components with a greater surface area than would be provided by components of equal denier having circular cross sections. As a consequence, the mechanical interlock and chemical bond or adhesion of the polymeric resin coating to the textile substrate are strengthened. In addition, the textile components having non-circular cross-sections with a plurality of lobes reduce the permeability of the textile substrate, so that polymeric resin material applied to one side may be prevented from flowing through to the other side.
摘要:
A press fabric for use on the press section of a paper machine has a multilayer structure, and is woven according to techniques normally applied in the weaving of forming fabrics. The press fabric is woven from at least one system of warp yarns and two or more layers of weft yarns, with the yarn sizes and weave patterns chosen with a view toward providing the resulting press fabric with a fine paper-contacting surface, and ample void volume. One of the two or more layers of weft yarns includes, or is entirely composed of, multicomponent yarns having a plurality of load-bearing members. The multicomponent yarns may be multifilament or multistrand yarns composed of fine filaments, or may be polyurethane-coated monofilament yarns, and provide the press fabrics with a compressible and resilient structure. The multifilament or multistrand yarns may also be polyurethane-coated.
摘要:
A family of paper industry process belts (“PIPB's”) having a range of properties for different applications in the paper industry. The PIPB can be a laminate comprising a grooved press belt and a porous membrane embedded therein and used as a substitute dewatering structure heretofore provided by press fabric(s).
摘要:
A resin-impregnated endless belt for a long nip press or calender of the shoe type, or for other papermaking and paper-processing applications, has a base support structure which includes coated elements, such as yarns, having a coating of a first polymeric resin material. The base support structure is in the form of an endless loop, at least one of the inner and outer surfaces of which is coated with a second polymeric resin material. The second polymeric resin material impregnates the structure of the base support structure, rendering it impermeable to oil and water. The first and second polymeric resin materials have an affinity for one another, so that the coating of second polymeric resin material on the base support structure as a whole establishes a chemical, as well as a mechanical, interlock with the coated yarns having the coating of first polymeric resin material.
