Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for satinizing a foil, in particular a metal foil, according to the preamble of the patent claim.
  • a device for satinizing a foil in particular a metal foil, according to the preamble of the patent claim.
  • Such a device is known from US-A-4047417. It is not used for satinizing films for packaging purposes, but for pre-processing flat material for subsequent deep drawing. The design and dimensioning of the unevenness of the roller surfaces do not allow the two cooperating satinizing rollers to be driven by means of a gear without any particular mutual synchronization.
  • the aim of the present invention is to simplify the device considerably by a special design, dimensioning and treatment of the roller surface, in that a special synchronization gear can be omitted, and also to achieve optimal satin quality and long service life of the rollers.
  • This goal is achieved by the measures according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the quality of the satinization of the film is much better than the satinization achieved with the above-mentioned and other known devices.
  • the service life of the rollers is long, so that operation is simplified and less downtime of the device has to be accepted.
  • the replacement of rollers is simplified by the elimination of a synchronization gear.
  • the device has two calendering rollers 1 and 2, which are identical in all respects. In particular, they have the same diameter and exactly the same type of corrugation or toothing.
  • This corrugation or serration can be seen from the figures.
  • Rows of pyramid-shaped teeth 3 having the same pitch in the axial direction and circumferential direction are provided.
  • the pitch of the corrugation or serration is, for example, about 0.4 mm, i.e. the mutual distance in the axial direction and circumferential direction of adjacent teeth is around 0.4 mm.
  • the height of the teeth is 0.25 to 0.3 mm. As shown in FIG.
  • the two rollers 1 and 2 are dimensioned and mounted in such a way that the corrugation or toothing interlocks somewhat, namely by 0.15 to 0.2 mm.
  • very good satinizing of foils in particular aluminum foils, is achieved. Due to the mutual engagement, the calendering rollers 1 and 2 remain in synchronism without a special synchronization gear. The production of satinizing rollers 1 and 2 must be done very carefully.
  • the grooves between the teeth 3 can be machined or milled in the axial direction, while the grooves can be rotated in the circumferential direction. After processing, the rollers are hardened. The very precise machining is of particular importance, so that the dimensions and mutual distances of all rows of teeth are exactly the same. Every error is visible on the frosted film. Apart from these requirements, one is relatively free to choose the dimensions and shapes in order to achieve various desired satin finishes.

  1. Dispositif pour gaufrer une feuile, comprenant une paire de rouleaux de gaufrage, respectivement avec des élévations et des creux entre lesquels la feuille peut passer, caractérisé en ce que les deux rouleaux (1, 2) de la paire sont équipés avec des dents (3) durcies en forme de pyramides exactement semblables, ces dents ayant une hauteur de 0,25 à 0,30 mm et s'engageant l'une dans l'autre de 0,15 à 0,20 mm si la distance mutuelle entre les dents est d'environ 0,4 mm, afin de gaufrer les feuilles et de synchroniser la rotation des deux rouleaux (1, 2), un seul rouleau étant commandé, l'autre étant entraîné en synchronisme.
