Abstract

On décrit une machine pour former une bande à couches multiples, permettant de former une couche supérieure et une couche inférieure. Elle comprend une toile inférieure en boucle (16) pour recevoir la couche de base et une toile supérieure en boucle (18) coopérant avec la toile inférieure en étant disposée au-dessus d'elle pour délimiter entre les deux une section de formage sensiblement horizontale (20) ayant une première (22) et une seconde (24) extrémités. Une barre rotative (26) délimite une surface courbe (28) pour guider la toile inférieure. Une caisse de tête secondaire (30) déverse la pâte vers et sur la couche de base. Un patin d'égouttage courbe (34) est disposé sous la toile inférieure (16) de sorte qu'une portion de l'eau de la couche supérieure est éjectée à travers la toile supérieure (18). Une fente à vide (38) recueille une portion de l'eau vers le haut et hors de la toile supérieure. Une caisse de tête inversée (40) est disposée en aval par rapport à la fente à vide (38) et une pluralité de lames d'égouttage (44-56) disposées entre une surface courbe (42) de la caisse à vide et de la toile supérieure (18) guident la toile supérieure au droit de celle-ci. Une pluralité de feuilles d'égouttage (58-61) sont disposées sur le côté opposé de la toile par rapport aux lames, de telle sorte que la consistance de la pâte formant la couche supérieure est augmentée durant son passage dans la zone de formage tout en maintenant la consistance de la couche supérieure uniforme dans une direction 'Z', si bien que l'écrasement de la bande résultante est empêché.
