~O 94/09208 2 1 ~ ~ 7 7 0 PCI/US93/08537 (1) PATENT APPLICATION
TITLE: A METHQD OF MANUFACTURING A COVER FOR A PRESS ROlL

Background of the Invention Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cover for a press roll. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cover for a press roll which includes spirally winding reinforcing material around the press roll.

Information Disclosure Statement In the papermaking art, a formed web is guided through a press section for removing water from the web.

Steel press rolls have been covered with rubber or synthetic material in order to enhance the water removing capability of the press.

Often, it has been the practice to add filler particles to the rubber compounds prior to application of the rubber compound to the steel roll shell in order to change the hardness of the resultant cover.

Additionally, fillers have been added to urethane in order to increase the hardness of the cover.

However, more recently, it has been found advantageous to impregnate reinforcing material with a urethane material and to spirally wind the same onto a roll shell. However, such spiral winding of the WO 94/09208 . ', PCI /US93/0853-~
21~77~ (2) reinforcing material does not readily permit the addition thereto of the aforementioned filler particles.

The present invention overcomes the problem of adding filler to the spirally wound reinforcing material by applying the filler to an epoxy matrix prior to the application of the mixture to the reinforcing material.

Therefore, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a cover for a press roll that overcomes the aforementioned inadequacies of the prior art arrangements and which makes a considerable contribution to the art of manufacturing a cover for a press roll.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art by a consideration of the detailed description contained hereinafter, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings .

Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cover for a press roll. The method includes the steps of feeding an epoxy matrix into a container and agitating the matrix. Filler material is added to the matrix while the matrix is being agitated, and the matrix and filler are then conveyed to an application zone. Reinforcing material is unwound from a roll such that the material extends past the application zone. The agitated matrix and filler are applied to the unwound material during passage of the material past the application zone. The reinforcing material, together with the matrix and filler, are then spirally wound around the press roll such that the press roll is covered with the reinforcing material impregnated with the matrix and filler. The arrangement is such that the surface characteristics 94/09208 ~ 1 41 6 7 7 ~ PCI`/US93/08537 (3) of the resultant cover are dependent on the amount and type of filler material added to the matrix.

In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the epoxy matrix is a polymeric thermo-plastic matrix.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the matrix is a polymeric thermo-set matrix.

The filler material is composed of either mineral particles, synthetic particles or refractory particles.

The particles in one embodiment of the invention have a diameter less than one (1 ) millimeter, and in another embodiment of the present invention, the particles have a diameter of at least one (1 ) millimeter.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the filler material includes PTFE powder, together with glass fibers. In yet another embodirrlent of the present invention, the filler material includes PTFE
powder, together with ceramic fibers.

Additionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the filler material includes PTFE powder, together with quartz fibers and feldspar particles.

The reinforcing material is either a woven material, a knitted material, a braided material or a non-woven material.

The step of spirally winding the reinforcing material is carried out during the cross-linking of the matrix.

Many variations and modifications of the combination of method steps according to the present invention will be readily apparent to those - skilled in the art by a consideration of the detailed description contained hereinafter.

Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a schematic view representing the step of feeding the epoxy matrix into a container and agitating the same;
.
Figure 2 is a similar view to that shown in Figure 1, but shows filler niaterial being added to the matrix while the matrix is being agitated;

Figure 3 is a,similar view to that shown in Figure 2, but shows the agitated matrix and filler being conveyed to an application zone and being applied' to reinforcing material being unwound from a roll of 'reinforcing material; and Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a press roll being spirally wound with the reinforcing material and matrix and filler according to the present invention.

l)etailed Description of the'Drawings ,, Figure 1 is a schematic view illustrating a method of manufacturing a cover for a press roll shell according to the present invention. Figure 1 , AMENDED SHEEr ~VO 94/09208 2 1 4 S 7 7 0 PCI/US93/08~37 (5) shows an epoxy matrix 10 disposed within a container 12. The epoxy matrix 10 is being agitated by an agitator 14.

Figure 2 is a similar view to that shown in Figure 1, but shows filler material 16 being added to the matrix 10 while the matrix 10 is being agitated within the container 12.

Figure 3 is a similar view to that shown in Figure 2, but shows the agitated matrix 10 and filler 16 being conveyed and pumped via pump P to an application zone, generally designated 18.

A roll 20 of reinforcing material 22 is unwound, as indicated by the arrow 26, such that the reinforcing material 22 extends past the application zone 18.

The agilaled matrix and filler 10 and 16 are applied, as indicated by the arrow 26, ~o the unwound material 22 during passage of the unwound material 22 past the application zone 18.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a press roll 28 and shows the roll 28 being spirally wound with the reinforcing material 22, the matrix 10 and filler 16 having been previously applied to the reinforcing material 22. The arrangement is such that the press roll 28 is covered with the reinforcing material 22, which is impregnated with the matrix 10 and filler 16. The surface characteristics of the resultant cover are consequently dependent on the amount and type of filler material 16 added to the matrix.

In specific embodiments of the present invention, the matrix 10 is either a polymeric thermo-plastic matrix or a polymeric thermo-set matrix.

W O 94/09208 PC~r/US93/0853 2 ~ ~ ~ 7 7 0 (6) The filler materiai 16 is either composed of mineral particles, synthetic particles or refractory particlës.
