Definitions

  • the invention relates to a covering for the sheet-forming part of a paper machine with a double-layer or multi-layer fabric made of interwoven longitudinal threads and transverse threads and with additional transverse threads floating on the paper side.
  • the additional sheet threads floating on the paper side are said to improve sheet removal, reduce the risk of marking and increase permeability.
  • the additional transverse threads are woven in such a way that they are bent as little as possible. As a result, however, they protrude so far on the paper side that they interfere with sheet formation. When cleaning the fabric by high pressure water jets protruding threads are often destroyed.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a covering of the type mentioned for the sheet formation area of a paper machine, in which the risk of destruction of transverse threads is reduced when cleaning with high pressure water jets.
  • the additional floating cross threads are tied so deep that their entire cross-section at the tying point is lower than the normal cross threads involved in the formation of the paper side at its deepest point.
  • a prerequisite for the deep integration of the additional transverse threads is generally that the additional transverse thread is wrapped in a longitudinal thread in the sense that at least some of the longitudinal threads incorporating the additional transverse threads run under one or both of the adjacent transverse threads on the paper side.
  • the additional floating floating threads preferably consist of a particularly soft, stretchy material.
  • the covering can be flat or endlessly woven.
  • the threads consist of plastic monofilaments, a material with a higher modulus of elasticity being generally chosen for the longitudinal threads than for the transverse threads.
  • the threads can also consist of plastic multifilaments, in particular in the case of an endless weave.
  • the additional floating cross threads preferably have a smaller diameter than the normal cross threads.
  • Fig. 1 shows in cross section a double-layer, eight-shaft fabric.
  • a double-layer fabric is understood to be a fabric that contains two layers of transverse threads that are interwoven with a single system of longitudinal threads.
  • the top or paper side of the fabric is formed by interwoven longitudinal threads 1 and upper transverse threads 2.
  • a lower transverse thread 5 is assigned to each upper transverse thread 2, so that the transverse threads are arranged in pairs.
  • the longitudinal threads 1 are also interwoven with the lower transverse threads 5.
  • the lower transverse threads 5 have very long floats which project downwards and form the running side of the paper machine clothing. Since the lower transverse threads 5 are particularly strongly exposed to abrasion, they expediently have a larger diameter than the upper transverse threads 2 and are partially made of a particularly abrasion-resistant material, for example polyamide and polyester in alternation.
  • the longitudinal threads 1 bind both with the upper transverse threads 2 and with the lower transverse threads 5, they run partly on the paper side and partly on the running side of the fabric. Between the points at which the longitudinal threads 1 are interwoven with the upper and lower transverse threads 2 and 5, they also tie additional transverse threads 3.
  • the transverse threads 3 run, apart from the binding points with the longitudinal threads 1 on the paper side of the fabric. They form long floats.
  • FIG. 1 has an octagonal weave, each weave repeat containing eight longitudinal threads and sixteen normal transverse threads 2, 5 and eight additional transverse threads 3.
  • the floats of the additional transverse threads 3 extend over six longitudinal threads 1.
  • the additional transverse thread 3 which is deeply embedded in the fabric, is pressed out laterally from the middle of the stitch. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, this is prevented by the additional transverse thread 3 being looped around by two longitudinal threads 1 at each of its binding points. The float of the transverse threads 3 extends over five longitudinal threads 1 in each case.
  • the base fabric that is, the weave pattern of the longitudinal threads 1 and the upper and lower transverse threads 2, 5 has a seven-strand structure.
  • the additional transverse threads 3 are, however, only interwoven with every fourteenth longitudinal thread 1, ie they are only tied in every second repeat of the base fabric.
  • FIG. 4 corresponds to that of FIG. 3 with regard to the base fabric.
  • the additional transverse threads 3 have floats of alternating four and six longitudinal threads 1.
  • the non-uniform length of the floats of the additional transverse threads 3 improves the marking properties.
  • the non-uniform length of the floatations results from the fact that the additional transverse threads 3 alternately bind with different longitudinal threads 1, e.g. alternating with the first and the second longitudinal thread of a repeat.
  • Examples 1 and 2 below relate to an openly woven covering for the sheet-forming part of a paper machine, so that the longitudinal threads are formed by the warp and the transverse threads by the weft.
  • the base fabric is double-layered in an eight-part weave.
  • Warp run The warp wire 1 is passed over two weft pairs 2, 5, then between two weft pairs 2, 5, under one weft pair 2, 5 and finally between three weft pairs 2, 5, comes again on the paper side and repeats the repeat (see Fig. 6).
  • the floats of chain 1 on the paper side have an octagonal Atlas distribution (see Fig. 5).
  • the fabric was woven with a warp density of 38 wires / cm. After fixing, the warp count is compressed to 42 wires / cm by the cross shrinkage of the fabric.
  • the chain is made of monofilament polyester, ⁇ 0.30 mm.
  • the material is longitudinally stable, i.e. it has a high modulus of elasticity.
  • the weft wires of the top layer have a density of 14 wires / cm when weaving. After fixing the Ge weave 13.5 weft wires / cm. The shot diameter is 0.30 mm. This is material polyester monofilament type Trevira 900, a soft wire quality corresponding to an elongation of 23.4% at 27 cN / tex.
  • the weft wires 5 of the barrel side are woven so that they lie precisely under the weft wires 2 of the upper layer.
  • they are polyester monofilament, ⁇ 0.32 mm, of the same type as the weft of the upper layer and made of polyamide monofilament, also ⁇ 0.32 mm of type Pa 6.6.
  • weft wires 3 made of polyester monofilament, ⁇ 0.15 mm, of the same soft wire type Trevira 900 as the other weft wires are woven into the upper layer.
  • the course of the additional weft wire 3 corresponds to Figure 1, i.e. the additional weft runs over six warp wires 1 and under two warp wires 1.
  • the additional weft wire 3 lies in the plane of the lower weft wires 5.
  • the fixed fabric has an elongation of 0.6% under a load of 100 N / cm and an air permeability of 8000 m3 / m2 / h.
  • the warp floats and the floats of the normal weft wire 2 and the additional weft 3 lie in one plane.
  • the weft wires 5 are 15.5 / 100 mm deeper than the warp bend. This means that the fabric is a weft runner. Only when 15.5 / 100 mm thickness is used does the bottom part of the warp threads come into contact with the paper machine for the first time. This means that the warp threads start to wear at this point.
  • FIG. 1 shows, the tying point of the additional weft 3 is hidden so far inside the screen that the additional weft, even though it has been tied down deeply, is not touched by the abrasion.
  • This octagonal double-layer sieve is used for the production of cardboard. Because of the high retention capacity, the sieve is also advantageous for the production of packaging paper and similar heavyweight types of paper for the packaging sector.
  • the fabric has 14 shafts and the chain 1 runs over two weft pairs 2, 5 between one weft pair 2, 5, under one weft pair 2, 5 and between three weft pairs 2, 5.
  • the paper side has 7-strand satin distribution of the warp floats. With warp 1, 54 wires / cm are counted during weaving, after heat-setting it is 60 wires / cm.
  • the warp wires are made of polyester monofilament, ⁇ 0.17 mm, and are made of longitudinally stable wire quality with a high modulus of elasticity.
  • the weft wires 2 of the upper layer are made of polyester monofilament, ⁇ 0.17 mm, type Trevira 901, and have a medium modulus of elasticity (elongation 19% at a load of 27 cN / tex). 19 weft wires / cm are woven, in the finished sieve 17.5 cm normal weft wires are counted.
  • the sieve On the running side, the sieve has 19 weft wires 5, ⁇ 0.20 mm, half made of polyester, soft quality Type 900 (23.4% elongation at a load of 27 cN / tex), the other half made of polyamide Type 6.6 .
  • an additional weft with a 14-strand wire course according to FIG. 3 is woven.
  • the additional shot is also made of polyester, the soft type 900, and has a diameter of 0.12 mm.
  • the structure of the base fabric is actually 7 shafts, the additional weft wires are not bound by the chain after every 7 shafts repeat, but only after every 14th warp wire.
  • the warp wires, the weft wires and the additional weft wires are all in one plane.
  • the weft is 9/100 mm lower in relation to the chain, i.e. the sieve is a weft runner.
  • the screen according to example 2 has a finely structured surface structure, it is mainly used for marking-sensitive writing and printing papers.
