Abstract:
The invention relates to an extended nip roll (5) capable of forming a press nip (N) with a counter roll (7) which press nip (N) has an extension in a machine direction when the extended nip roll (5) cooperates with the counter roll (7). The extended nip roll (5) comprises a flexible jacket; an elastic press body (13) arranged inside the flexible jacket. The top side (14) of the press body (13) is beveled in such a way that, in the machine direction, a working surface (15) of the top side has a downstream end (16) which, in the machine direction, is followed by an exit side surface (17) that diverges from the interior surface (11) of the flexible jacket (10). The press body (13) further has at least a first and a second internal pressure chamber (18, 19). The pressure chambers (18, 19) can be pressurized such that the press body (13) expands. The first internal pressure (18) chamber has an extension in the machine direction that does not extend beyond the working surface (15) and the second internal pressure chamber (19) is located downstream of the first internal pressure chamber (18) and has an extension in the machine direction beyond the downstream end (16) of the working surface (15). The working surface (15) and the exit side surface (17) are made of a material that has a higher shore A hardness than the material in the rest of the press body (13). The invention also relates to an extended nip press and a paper machine in which the extended nip roll is used. The invention further relates to a method of operating the extended nip press.
Abstract:
In a press belt (2), stepped portions are formed between an outer peripheral surface of a central region (A) and outer peripheral surfaces of end-corresponding regions (B) located so as to corresponding to both ends in a lateral direction of a press roll (1) or a pressure shoe (3), so that the end-corresponding regions have a smaller thickness than the central region. The outer peripheral surfaces of the end-corresponding regions are finished so that a processing flaw depth becomes 10 μm or less.

The present invention relates to a loading device for a shoe press having a shoe press roll (1) and a mating roll (2) for forming a press nip, preferably in a dewatering device such as in a papermaking machine, through which press nip at least one paper web is guided for dewatering. The shoe press roll (1) has at least one press shoe (4) and at least one supporting device (5), and the press shoe (4) and the supporting device (5) are connected by a multiplicity of hydraulic devices, in order to load the press shoe (4). The invention is characterized in that the hydraulic device has at least one first guide element (7) for guiding a cylinder sleeve (8) substantially linearly, and the cylinder sleeve (8) engages at least in sections into at least one second guide element (9) which is connected to the press shoe (4) in a substantially stationary manner.
Abstract:
A support body for an apparatus having an extended nip formed between the support body and a counter-pressure member, having a working surface, being elastically deformable, and comprising a plurality of pressure chambers pressurized for controlled expanding in the direction of the working surface in order to load the nip. According to the invention the support body comprises a plurality of reinforcing profiles disposed in at least one chamber of the pressure chambers, the interiors of the profiles being in fluid communication with one another via holes, a wall of the profile facing said working surface including holes for communicating fluid between the interior of the profile and the chamber in which said profile is located, said profiles providing an inner support to walls defining said at least one chamber.
Abstract:
A press apparatus (10) is disclosed for removing water from a web (W). The apparatus includes a rotatable roll (12) which defines a peripheral surface (14). An elongate shoe (16) has a curved surface (18) which cooperates with the peripheral surface (14) of the roll (12) for defining therebetween a nip (N) for the passage therethrough of the web (W). The arrangement is such that when the web (W) extends through the nip (N), water is pressed from the web (W). A blanket (20) is disposed between the curved surface (18) of the shoe (16) and the web (W) for supporting the web (W) during the passage of the web through the nip (N), the blanket (20) enclosing the shoe (16). Moreover, the blanket (20) has a diameter within a range 500 mm to 875 mm.
Abstract:
A shoe press apparatus of a paper machine for pressing wet paper through a nip includes a counter roll, and a shoe module disposed adjacent to the counter roll. The shoe module includes a cylindrical blanket, and a press mechanism disposed inside the cylindrical blanket, extending in a width direction of the cylindrical blanket and individually pressing a plurality of pressed portions formed on the cylindrical blanket along a traveling direction of the wet paper, toward an outer-surface of the counter roll so that the wet paper is pressed in the nip between the cylindrical blanket and the counter roll so that a pressure can be applied efficiently in response to a density required for paper solely by the shoe press apparatus.
Abstract:
A support body for an apparatus having an extended nip defined between a contact surface of an elastically deformable support body and an opposed surface, the support body comprising a pressure chamber or several pressure chambers arranged to be pressurized for loading the nip via the contact surface. The support body can be provided with a holding device that forms a counter support for the pressure chamber or pressure chambers except at the side facing the contact surface. A method of forming the extended nip in the apparatus entails applying a pressure in at least one pressure chamber of the support body and expanding elastically deformable side portions of the support body. A further method of controlling the load in the extended nip entails designing the support body with several pressure chambers and setting the pressures in the pressure chambers in accordance with a predetermined pattern.
