Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trockenpartie einer Maschine zur Herstellung einer Materialbahn, insbesondere Papier- oder Kartonbahn, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a dryer section of a machine for production a material web, in particular paper or cardboard web, according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Trockenpartien der hier angesprochenen Art sind bekannt. Die Materialbahn wird gemeinsam mit einem Transportband über eine Anzahl von Trockenzylindern geführt. Bei der Abnahme der Materialbahn von einem Zylinder zur Überführung auf einen weiteren Zylinder ist eine Zugspannung an der Bahn erforderlich, die diese dehnt und die Papierqualität negativ beeinflusst. Außerdem wird aufgrund der Zugspannung die Gefahr eines Bahnabrisses auch in nachfolgenden Bereichen der Trockenpartie, beispielsweise beim Glätten und Wickeln, erhöht.Dryer sections of the type mentioned here are known. The web of material is used together with a conveyor belt over a number of Drying cylinders led. When removing the material web from one Cylinder for transfer to another cylinder is a tensile stress required on the web that stretches it and the paper quality negatively influenced. In addition, due to the tension, the danger a web break also in subsequent areas of the dryer section, for example, when smoothing and winding, increased.

In der EP-A-0 227 442 ist eine Trockenpartie beschrieben, bei der die Materialbahn auf der Außenseite des betreffenden Trockensiebes um einen jeweiligen unteren Zylinder geführt ist, der entweder mit einer Hülle versehen oder um den ein zusätzliches inneres Band geführt ist. Dabei kann die Hülle bzw. das Band aus einem Gewebe bestehen und eine gerippte Außenfläche aufweisen. Ein direkter Kontakt der Materialbahn mit dem jeweiligen unteren Zylinder wird hier bereits durch das betreffende Trockensieb verhindert. Die zusätzlich zum jeweiligen Trockensieb bzw. Transportband vorgesehene Hülle oder Band dient dazu, zwischen dem Transportband und dem Zylinder zusätzliche Freiräume zu schaffen, durch die ein Überdruck und damit ein Abheben der außen auf dem Transportband oder Trockensieb liegenden Matrialbahn verhindert wird. EP-A-0 227 442 describes a dryer section in which the Material web on the outside of the dryer fabric in question a respective lower cylinder is guided, either with an envelope provided or around which an additional inner band is guided. there can the sleeve or the band consist of a fabric and a have a ribbed outer surface. Direct contact of the material web with the respective lower cylinder is already here through that Preventing dryer fabric. In addition to the respective dryer fabric or Conveyor belt provided envelope or belt is used between the Conveyor belt and the cylinder to create additional clearance through which an overpressure and thus a lifting of the outside on the Conveyor belt or dryer fabric lying material web is prevented.

In der US-A-1 702 907 ist eine Papiertrocknungsmaschine beschrieben, in der die Papierbahn zusammen mit einem Trägerband um einen Trockenzylinder geführt ist, das den Zylinder unmittelbar berührt, d.h. zwischen diesem und der Papierbahn liegt. Das Trägerband kann insbesondere porös sein.A paper drying machine is described in US-A-1 702 907, in which the paper web together with a carrier tape around a drying cylinder which directly touches the cylinder, i.e. between this and the paper web. The carrier tape can in particular be porous.

Die US-A-4 639 291 befasst sich mit der Vergleichmäßigung des Temperaturquerprofils eines Trockenzylinders in bestimmten begrenzten axialen Bereichen wie insbesondere in den Walzenendbereichen, in denen es zu einer Überhitzung kommen kann. In den betreffenden axial begrenzten Bereichen wird nun auf den Zylinder ein jeweiliges Gewebeband aufgebracht, um an den betreffenden Stellen Freiräume zu schaffen, die infolge der sich dort ansammelnden Luft für eine entsprechende Wärmeisolierung sorgen und dadurch der lokalen Temperaturerhöhung entgegen wirken. Die betreffenden Gewebebänder sind hier also nur in begrenzten axialen Bereichen, d.h. insbesondere im Bereich der beiden Zylinderenden, vorgesehen.US-A-4 639 291 is concerned with equalizing the temperature cross profile a drying cylinder in certain limited axial Areas such as especially in the roller end areas where there is too overheating. In the relevant axially limited Areas, a respective fabric tape is now applied to the cylinder, in order to create free space in the relevant areas, which as a result the air accumulating there for appropriate thermal insulation and thus counteract the local temperature increase. The fabric tapes in question are therefore only limited in axial Areas, i.e. in particular in the area of the two cylinder ends.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Trockenpartie der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der die oben genannten Nachteile beseitigt sind.The invention has for its object an improved dryer section to create the type mentioned, in which the above Disadvantages are eliminated.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird eine Trockenpartie mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vorgeschlagen. Diese Trockenpartie zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein jeweiliger Trockenzylinder und/oder eine jeweilige Bahnleitwalze, um den bzw. die die Materialbahn mittels des jeweiligen Transportbandes so geführt ist, dass dieses Transportband nicht zwischen der Materialbahn und dem Trockenzylinder bzw. der Bahnleitwalze liegt, jeweils von an der jeweiligen Zylinder- bzw. Walzenumfangsfläche anliegenden Fäden oder von einem an der jeweiligen Zylinder- bzw. Walzenumfangsfläche anliegenden Sieb umgeben ist, durch die bzw. das ein direkter Kontakt der Materialbahn mit der jeweiligen Zylinder- bzw. Walzenumfangsfläche verhindert wird.To solve this problem, a dryer section with the in claim 1 features proposed. This dryer section stands out characterized in that a respective drying cylinder and / or a respective Web guide roller around which the material web or web by means of the respective Conveyor belt is guided so that this conveyor belt is not between the material web and the drying cylinder or the web guide roller, in each case on the respective cylinder or roller circumferential surface Threads or from one on the respective cylinder or roller circumferential surface adjacent sieve is surrounded by which a direct Contact of the material web with the respective cylinder or roller circumferential surface is prevented.

Die Fäden beziehungsweise das Sieb erleichtern die Bahnabnahme von dem Trockenzylinder beziehungsweise der Bahnleitwalze, so dass die Zugspannungen an der Materialbahn wesentlich reduziert werden können und die genannten Nachteile damit praktisch ganz entfallen.The threads or the sieve facilitate the web acceptance of the drying cylinder or the web guide roller, so that the Tensile stresses on the material web can be significantly reduced and practically eliminate the disadvantages mentioned.

Bevorzugt wird eine Ausführungsform der Trockenpartie, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass das dem Trockenzylinder oder der Bahnleitwalze zugeordnete Sieb eine geschlossene Schleife ausbildet, innerhalb derer der Trockenzylinder beziehungsweise die Bahnleitwalze angeordnet ist. Ein derartiger Aufbau ist relativ einfach zu realisieren. Auch ist es möglich, bestehende Trockenpartien mit einer derartigen Schleife nachzurüsten.An embodiment of the dryer section, which is characterized by this, is preferred distinguishes that that assigned to the drying cylinder or the web guide roller Sieve forms a closed loop within which the Drying cylinder or the web guide roller is arranged. On such a structure is relatively easy to implement. It is also possible retrofit existing dryer sections with such a loop.

Besonders bevorzugt wird eine Ausführungsform der Trockenpartie, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass die Fäden aus Kunststoff oder Metall oder aus mit - zumindest auf der der Materialbahn zugewandten Oberflächen - Kunststoff versehene Metallfäden bestehen. Es ist auf diese Weise möglich, die Wärmeleitung vom Trockenzylinder zu Materialbahn zu erhöhen und/oder die Bahnführung zu verbessern.An embodiment of the dryer section is particularly preferred is characterized in that the threads made of plastic or metal or from with - at least on the surfaces facing the material web - Plastic-provided metal threads exist. It is possible in this way to increase the heat conduction from the drying cylinder to the material web and / or to improve the web guidance.

Die im folgenden beschriebene Trockenpartie ist allgemein zur Herstellung einer Materialbahn verwendbar. Besonders geeignet ist sie für Papier- und Kartonherstellungsmaschinen, so daß hier rein beispielhaft von einer Papierherstellungsmaschine ausgegangen werden soll.The drying section described below is generally usable for the production of a material web. It is particularly suitable for paper and Carton making machines, so that here is purely exemplary assumed a paper making machine shall be.

Figur 1 zeigt in stark schematisierter Darstellung eine Walze einer Trockenpartie in Seitenansicht, wobei es sich um einen Trockenzylinder oder um eine Bahnleitwalze handeln kann. Beispielhaft wird davon ausgegangen, daß es sich hier um einen Trockenzylinder 1 handelt, auf dessen Umfangsfläche ein gestrichelt angedeutetes Sieb 3 aufgebracht ist. Das Sieb überspannt die gesamte Länge des Trockenzylinders. Es ist an den Stirnseiten 5 und 7 des Trokkenzylinders 1 auf geeignete Weise gehalten. Hier sind auf beiden Seiten Befestigungs- beziehungsweise Spannleisten 9 und 11 angedeutet. Es ist selbstverständlich möglich, das Sieb 3 auch im Bereich der Umfangsfläche 13 anzubringen.Figure 1 shows in a highly schematic representation a roller of a dryer section in side view, which is a drying cylinder or a Web guide roller can act. This will serve as an example assumed that this is a drying cylinder 1 acts on the peripheral surface of a dashed indicated sieve 3 is applied. The Sieve spans the entire length of the drying cylinder. It is on the end faces 5 and 7 of the drying cylinder 1 appropriately held. Here are fastening on both sides respectively Tension bars 9 and 11 indicated. It is of course possible, the screen 3 in the area to attach the peripheral surface 13.

Das Sieb 3 umspannt die gesamte Umfangsfläche 13 des Trockenzylinders 1, so daß bei einem Einbau des Trockenzylinders 1 in eine Trockenpartie die Papier- oder Materialbahn, die hier nicht dargestellt ist, die Umfangsfläche 13 nicht unmittelbar berührt. Das Sieb 3 liegt unmittelbar auf der gesamten Umfangsfläche des Trockenzylinders 1 auf.The sieve 3 spans the entire circumferential surface 13 of the drying cylinder 1, so that when installing the Drying cylinder 1 in a dryer section the paper or web of material, not shown here is not directly touching the peripheral surface 13. The sieve 3 lies directly on the whole Circumferential surface of the drying cylinder 1.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt einer Trockenpartie 10, die hier beispielhaft als zweireihige Trockenpartie ausgebildet ist. In Figur 2 ist der letzte Trockenzylinder 1a einer ersten Trockengruppe 15 und der erste Trockenzylinder 1b einer zweiten Trockengruppe 17 dargestellt. Die Materialbahn 19 wird von dem Trockenzylinder 1a auf den Trockenzylinder 1b überführt. Den beiden Trockenzylindern ist jeweils eine Heißlufthaube 21 beziehungsweise 23 zugeordnet, mit deren Hilfe die um die Trockenzylinder 1a und 1b herumgeführte Materialbahn 19 mit Heißluft beziehungsweise Heißdampf beaufschlagt werden kann.Figure 2 shows a section of a dryer section 10, which is an example here as a two-tier dryer section is trained. In Figure 2 is the last one Drying cylinder 1a of a first dryer group 15 and the first drying cylinder 1b a second Drying group 17 shown. The material web 19 is transferred from the drying cylinder 1a to the drying cylinder 1b transferred. The two drying cylinders is a hot air hood 21 and 23 assigned, with the help of the drying cylinder 1a and 1b material web 19 guided around charged with hot air or hot steam can be.

Durch eine gestrichelte Linie ist in Figur 2 angedeutet, daß beide Trockenzylinder 1a und 1b mit einem Sieb 3 umspannt sind, wie es anhand von Figur 1 erläutert wurde. Durch die Stirnansicht in Figur 2 wird deutlich, daß das Sieb 3 unmittelbar an den Trockenzylindern 1a und 1b anliegt und deren Umfangsfläche 13 vollständig umgibt, das heißt in einem Bereich berührt, der einem Kreisbogen von 360° entspricht.A dashed line indicates in FIG. 2 that that both drying cylinders 1a and 1b with one Sieve 3 are spanned, as it is based on Figure 1 was explained. Through the front view in Figure 2 it is clear that the sieve 3 directly to the Drying cylinders 1a and 1b abut and their peripheral surface 13 completely surrounds, that is in one Area touched by an arc of 360 ° equivalent.

Aus Figur 2 ist ersichtlich, daß die Materialbahn 19 die Umfangsfläche 13 des Trockenzylinders 1a und die Umfangsfläche 13 des Trockenzylinders 1b nicht unmittelbar berührt, weil in beiden Fällen zwischen Materialbahn und Oberfläche die Siebe 3 vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise werden die zwischen Materialbahn und Oberfläche der Trockenzylinder wirkenden Adhäsionskräfte so weit reduziert, daß die Abnahme der Materialbahn 19 vom Trockenzylinder 1a und vom Trockenzylinder 1b problemlos erfolgen kann. Insbesondere ist es möglich, die zur Bahnabnahme erforderlichen, in Transportrichtung der Bahn wirkenden Zugkräfte zu reduzieren.From Figure 2 it can be seen that the material web 19 the peripheral surface 13 of the drying cylinder 1a and the peripheral surface 13 of the drying cylinder 1b is not touched immediately because in both cases between Material web and surface provided the sieves 3 are. That way the between Material web and surface of the drying cylinder acting adhesive forces reduced so far that the removal of the material web 19 from the drying cylinder 1a and from the drying cylinder 1b without any problems can. In particular, it is possible to use the Web acceptance required in the direction of transport to reduce the tensile forces acting on the web.

Figur 3 zeigt schließlich einen Ausschnitt einer Trockenpartie 100, die eine erste Bahnleitwalze 25a sowie eine -in Transportrichtung der Materialbahn 19 gesehen- nachfolgende Bahnleitwalze 25b. Außerdem umfaßt die Trockenpartie 100 zwei den Bahnleitwalzen nachgeordnete und unmittelbar aufeinanderfolgende Trockenzylinder 1' und 1''. Die Materialbahn 19 wird mäanderförmig zunächst um die beiden Bahnleitwalzen 25a und 25b und dann über die Trokkenzylinder 1' und 1'' geführt. Selbstverständlich ist es ohne weiteres möglich, auch abwechselnd Bahnleitwalzen und Trockenzylinder vorzusehen.Figure 3 finally shows a section of a Dryer section 100, the first web guide roller 25a as well as a direction of transport of the material web 19 seen - following web guide roller 25b. Moreover the dryer section 100 comprises two of the web guide rolls subordinate and immediately successive Drying cylinder 1 'and 1' '. The web of material 19 first becomes meandering around the two Web guide rolls 25a and 25b and then over the drying cylinders 1 'and 1' 'led. Of course it is easily possible, alternately To provide web guide rollers and drying cylinders.

Den Bahnleitwalzen 25a und 25b ist jeweils ein Sieb 3a und 3b zugeordnet, das die Umfangsfläche 13a der Bahnleitwalze 25a zwar über die Länge der Bahnleitwalze nicht jedoch über einen Kreisbogenbereich von 360° berührt. Der Berührungsbereich entspricht hier einem Kreisbogen von ca. 260°. Das Sieb 3a bildet eine geschlossene Schleife aus, innerhalb derer die Bahnleitwalze 25a angeordnet ist. Zusätzlich ist hier jedoch noch eine Umlenkwalze 27a vorgesehen, die ebenfalls innerhalb der geschlossenen Schleife angeordnet ist. Die Umlenkwalze 27a ist hier in einem Abstand unterhalb der Bahnleitwalze 25a angeordnet. Es ist möglich, den Abstand einstellbar auszubilden und somit die Umlenkwalze als Spannvorrichtung für das Sieb 3a zu verwenden. Möglich ist es auch, die Umlenkwalze 27a mit einem eigenen Antrieb zu versehen, wobei dann gegebenenfalls auf einen Antrieb der Bahnleitwalze 25a verzichtet werden kann.The web guide rollers 25a and 25b are each a screen 3a and 3b associated that the peripheral surface 13a of the Web guide roller 25a over the length of the web guide roller but not over an arc area of Touched 360 °. The contact area corresponds here a circular arc of approx. 260 °. The sieve 3a forms a closed loop within which the Web guide roller 25a is arranged. In addition is here, however, a deflection roller 27a is provided, which are also within the closed loop is arranged. The deflection roller 27a is here in one Distance arranged below the web guide roller 25a. It is possible to set the distance form and thus the deflection roller as a tensioning device to use for the sieve 3a. Is possible it also, the deflection roller 27a with its own drive to be provided, where appropriate on a drive of the web guide roller 25a can be dispensed with can.

Die Bahnleitwalze 25b wird ebenfalls von dem zugehörigen Sieb 3b nicht im Bereich der kompletten Umfangsfläche 13b berührt. Auch hier beträgt der Umschlingungswinkel, in dem das Sieb 3b die Umfangsfläche 13b der Bahnleitwalze 25b berührt, ca. 260°. Das Sieb 3b bildet wiederum eine geschlossene Schleife aus, in der die Bahnleitwalze 25b und eine der Umlenkwalze 27a entsprechende Umlenkwalze 27b angeordnet sind, deren Abstand gegenüber der Bahnleitwalze wiederum einstellbar sein kann.The web guide roller 25b is also of the associated Sieve 3b not in the area of the entire circumferential surface 13b touched. Here too the wrap angle is in which the screen 3b the peripheral surface 13b touches the web guide roller 25b, about 260 °. The screen 3b in turn forms a closed one Loop in which the web guide roller 25b and a the deflection roller 27b corresponding to the deflection roller 27a are arranged, their distance from the web guide roller in turn can be adjustable.

Entsprechend ist hier dem Trockenzylinder 1' ein Sieb 3c zugeordnet, das eine geschlossene Schleife ausbildet, innerhalb derer außer dem Trockenzylinder 1' eine Umlenkwalze 27c angeordnet ist. Bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Trockenzylinder 1'' mit einem Sieb 3d umgeben, das die Umfangsfläche 13d des Trockenzylinders 1'' vollständig berührt, das heißt, über einen Umschlingungswinkel von 360°.Accordingly, the drying cylinder 1 'is here Screen 3c associated with a closed loop trains within which except the drying cylinder 1 'a deflection roller 27c is arranged. In which The embodiment shown here is the Surround drying cylinder 1 '' with a sieve 3d the peripheral surface 13d of the drying cylinder 1 '' completely touched, that is, over a wrap angle of 360 °.

Durch die Siebe 3a, 3b, 3c und 3d wird sichergestellt, daß die Materialbahn 19 die Oberflächen 13a, 13b, 13c und 13d der Bahnleitwalzen 25a und 25b sowie der Trockenzylinder 1' und 1'' nicht unmittelbar berührt, so daß die Adhäsionskräfte zwischen der Materialbahn und den Umfangsflächen reduziert sind, so daß die Zugspannung innerhalb der Materialbahn vermindert sein kann.Sieves 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d ensure that the material web 19 the surfaces 13a, 13b, 13c and 13d of the web guide rolls 25a and 25b and the drying cylinder 1 'and 1' 'not immediately touched so that the adhesive forces between the material web and the peripheral surfaces are reduced are so that the tension within the Material web can be reduced.

Die Bahnleitwalzen 25a und 25b sind im Berührungsbereich zwischen Materialbahn 19 und den zugehörigen Umfangsflächen 13a und 13b, hier beispielsweise von innen besaugt. Es sind hier beispielsweise feststehende Saugeinrichtungen im Innern der Bahnleitwalzen vorgesehen. Die Saugbereiche 29a und 29b sind hier lediglich angedeutet, da eine derartige Besaugung grundsätzlich bekannt ist. Die Bahnleitwalzen 25a und 25b können auch auf geeignete Weise von außen besaugt sein. Es ist schließlich auch möglich, daß die Besaugung der Bahnleitwalzen durch Eigenventilation mit Hilfe von Schabern erfolgt, die bekannt und daher hier nicht dargestellt sind.The web guide rollers 25a and 25b are in the contact area between material web 19 and the associated Circumferential surfaces 13a and 13b, here for example sucked from the inside. For example, here fixed suction devices inside the web guide rollers intended. The suction areas 29a and 29b are only hinted at here as such Suction is generally known. The web guide rolls 25a and 25b can also be suitably used be sucked from the outside. After all, it is too possible that the suction of the web guide rolls through Self-ventilation with the help of scrapers, which are known and are therefore not shown here.

Die Trockenpartie 100 ist hier so ausgebildet, daß den Bahnleitwalzen 25a und 25b Heißlufthauben 21a und 21b zugeordnet sind. Entsprechend sind den Trockenzylindern 1' und 1'' Heißlufthauben 21c und 21d zugeordnet, die dazu dienen, die Materialbahn 19 mit Heißluft beziehungsweise Heißdampf zu beaufschlagen.The dryer section 100 is designed here such that the web guide rollers 25a and 25b hot air hoods 21a and 21b are assigned. The are accordingly Drying cylinders 1 'and 1' 'hot air hoods 21c and 21d assigned, which serve the material web 19 to apply hot air or steam.

Nach allem wird deutlich, daß die Überführung der Materialbahn 19 ohne unmittelbare Berührung der Umfangsflächen von Trockenzylindern und Bahnleitwalzen sowohl in einreihigen als auch in zweireihigen Trockenpartien möglich ist. Dieses Grundprinzip kann selbstverständlich auch in nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsstationen einer Papierherstellungsmaschine beibehalten werden, beispielsweise in Streicheinheiten, in denen eine oder beide Oberflächen der Materialbahn beschichtet werden. Es ist davon auszugehen, daß insbesondere in der Trockenpartie die Materialbahn 19 mit Hilfe von auch als Trockensieb oder -filz bezeichneten Transportbändern mäanderförmig um die Trockenzylinder und/oder Bahnleitwalzen herumgeführt wird. Aus Gründen der besseren Übersichtlichkeit sind derartige Transportbänder in den Figuren nicht dargestellt.After all, it becomes clear that the transfer of the Material web 19 without direct contact with the peripheral surfaces of drying cylinders and web guide rolls in both single-row and double-row Drying lots is possible. This basic principle can of course also in subsequent processing stations a paper making machine maintained, for example in streak units, in which one or both surfaces of the Material web are coated. It is assumed, that especially in the dryer section Material web 19 with the help of also as a dryer fabric or conveyor belts designated meandering around the drying cylinders and / or web guide rolls is led around. For the better Such conveyor belts are clear in the figures not shown.

Die anhand der Figuren erläuterten Siebe sind aus Fäden hergestellt, die aus Kunststoff oder Metall bestehen. Denkbar ist es auch Metallfäden zu verwenden, die zumindest auf ihrer der Materialbahn zugewandten Oberfläche mit Kunststoff versehen beziehungsweise beschichtet sind. Als Kunststoff wird vorzugsweise Polyamid oder Polyester verwendet.The sieves explained using the figures are from Threads made of plastic or metal consist. It is also conceivable to use metal threads the at least on their the material web facing surface with plastic or are coated. As plastic preferably polyamide or polyester used.

Denkbar ist es auch, daß innerhalb eines Siebes Fäden mit verschiedenen Querschnittsflächen kombiniert werden.It is also conceivable that threads are within a sieve combined with different cross-sectional areas become.

Die Fäden weisen einen rechteckigen, trapezförmigen oder ovalen Querschnitt auf. Es ist auch möglich, die Fäden flach, das heißt bandförmig, auszubilden. Durch die Wahl des Materials der Fäden und durch die Festlegung des Fädenquerschnitts können die Wärmeleitung zwischen den Trockenzylindern und der Materialbahn beeinflußt und die Bahnführung verbessert werden.The threads have a rectangular, trapezoidal shape or oval cross-section. It is also possible, to form the threads flat, that is to say in the form of a ribbon. By choosing the material of the threads and by the definition of the thread cross section can Heat conduction between the drying cylinders and the Material web influenced and the web guidance improved become.

Schließlich ist es auch möglich, anstelle der Siebe, die gemäß Figur 1 quasi wie ein Strumpf um die Trockenzylinder oder Bahnleitwalzen herumgezogen sind oder gemäß Figur 3 eine geschlossene Schleife ausbilden, Fäden zu verwenden, die die Umfangsfläche der Trockenzylinder beziehungsweise Bahnleitwalzen umgeben und sicherstellen, daß die Materialbahn die Umfangsflächen von Trockenzylindern und Bahnleitwalzen nicht unmittelbar berührt.Finally, it is also possible to replace the Sieves, which are like a stocking according to FIG. 1 the drying cylinders or web guide rollers pulled around are or a closed according to Figure 3 Form loop to use threads that cover the peripheral surface the drying cylinder respectively Surround the web guide rollers and make sure that the Material web the peripheral surfaces of drying cylinders and web guide rollers are not directly touched.

Die Luftdurchlässigkeit der Siebe ist vorzugsweise sehr groß. Es werden daher grobmaschige Siebe bevorzugt, die eine Maschenweite von ca. 1 cm aufweisen. Die Reinigung der Siebe kann durch Blasluft erfolgen, die auch in die Bahnleitwalzen beziehungsweise in deren Saugelemente eingeleitet wird, so daß zeitweise ein Überdruck auf die Siebe wirkt.The air permeability of the screens is preferred very large. Coarse-mesh sieves are therefore preferred which have a mesh size of approx. 1 cm. The sieves can be cleaned by blowing air take place that also in the web guide rollers respectively is introduced into the suction elements, so that at times an overpressure acts on the sieves.

Aus dem Obengesagten wird deutlich, daß nicht alle Trockenzylinder und/oder Bahnleitwalzen von Fäden beziehungsweise Sieben der beschriebenen Art umgeben sein müssen. Es ist sehr wohl möglich, daß Trockenzylindern und Bahnleitwalzen, die von Fäden/Sieben umgeben sind, herkömmliche Trockenzylinder und Bahnleitwalzen ohne Fäden und/oder Siebe nachgeordnet sind. Es ist auf diese Weise möglich, den konstruktiven Aufwand auf die Bereiche der Trockenpartie zu begrenzen, in denen die Abnahme der Materialbahn von den Trockenzylindern und Bahnleitwalzen aufgrund der gegebenen Bahneigenschaften auch ohne den Einsatz von Fäden und Sieben möglich ist.From the above it is clear that not all Drying cylinders and / or web guide rolls of threads or seven of the type described have to be. It is very possible that Drying cylinders and web guide rolls made of threads / screens are surrounded by conventional drying cylinders and web guide rolls without threads and / or screens are subordinate. It is possible in this way the design effort on the areas of Limit dryer section, in which the decrease the material web from the drying cylinders and web guide rolls due to the given web properties also possible without the use of threads and sieves is.

Ein wesentlicher Gesichtspunkt ist im übrigen noch, daß zwei benachbarte Schleifen, wie sie insbesondere anhand von Figur 3 erläutert wurden, in unmittelbarer Nähe zueinander angeordnet sind, vorzugsweise in Berührung miteinander laufen. Dazu können die Bahnleitwalzen, Umlenkwalzen und/oder Trockenzylinder benachbarter Schleifen in direkter Berührung miteinander oder in einem sehr geringen Abstand zueinander angeordnet sein. Bevorzugt wird ein Abstand von weniger als 2 cm, vorzugsweise von weniger als 1 cm gewählt. Besonders bewährt hat sich ein Abstand von weniger als 0,5 cm.Another essential aspect is that two adjacent loops, like them in particular were explained with reference to Figure 3, in immediate Are arranged close to each other, preferably run in contact with each other. You can do this the web guide rollers, deflection rollers and / or drying cylinders adjacent loops in direct contact with each other or at a very short distance be arranged to each other. Is preferred a distance of less than 2 cm, preferably of chosen less than 1 cm. Has proven particularly successful a distance of less than 0.5 cm.

Durch eine derartige Anordnung der Schleifen beziehungsweise der zugehörigen Zylinder wird für eine optimale Übergabe der Materialbahn gesorgt und insbesondere werden freie Züge vermieden, die die Materialbahneigenschaften beeinflussen gegebenenfalls auch zu einem Bahnabriß führen können.By such an arrangement of the loops respectively the associated cylinder is for one optimal handover of the material web and in particular free trains are avoided, which affects the material web properties influence if necessary can also lead to a web break.
