  • a machine is from DE 195 36 007.9 (corresponding GB 2 305 675 A) known.
  • the basic problem of using made of metal mesh pressure tapes is that the Weft threads in operation - starting from the edges towards the middle from, i.e. in the direction of transport, bent, which means the bandwidth is reduced.
  • the invention has for its object the pressure band of the generic type To design the machine so that its service life increases significantly becomes.
  • a lower corrugating roller 2 and an upper one Corrugated roller 3 rotatably supported by means of shafts 4, 5. They point to each other parallel axes 6, 7. They are with them on their cylinder surfaces parallel to the axes 6, 7 extending corrugations 8, 9 provided in Comb the contact area 10 of the two corrugated rollers 2, 3 with one another.
  • One of the corrugating rollers 2, 3, usually the upper corrugating roller 3, is driven in the direction of rotation 12, while the other corrugating roller, So usually the lower corrugation roller 2, in the direction of rotation 11 of the other corrugating roller 3 is taken.
  • a glue application roller 14th In the direction of rotation 11 or 12, Downstream of the contact area 10 is a glue application device 13 arranged in the machine frame 1, the a glue application roller 14th has, which is adjustable against the corrugation 9 of the upper corrugating roller 3.
  • the application roller 14 is rotatable about an axis 15.
  • a pressure device 16 is located in the upper area of the upper corrugating roller provided that a deflecting roller 17, a tension roller 18 and a pressure belt 19 has.
  • the deflection roller 17 and the tension roller 18 are by means of shaft journals 20 and 21 in bearings 22 and 23 of the machine frame 1 are each freely rotatable about an axis 24 or 25, that is not powered. All axes 6, 7, 15, 24, 25 run parallel to one another. Designs for the tension roller 18 are generally known, for example from DE 44 20 726 A (corresponding to US Pat. No. 5,632,850).
  • On Tensioning the pressure belt 19 is carried out by moving the tensioning roller 18 parallel to the drain tangent 27 in the direction 28.

  • the diameter c of the strands 32 can be used to reduce wear possibly also less than 0.2 mm, namely in the area from 0.15 to 0.2 mm. It follows that the diameter d of each warp thread 30a to 30c is in the range of 0.6 mm.
  • the strands 32 each consist of steel wire. Because of the stranding, the individual Warp threads 30a to 30c on the one hand very tensile and on the other hand very flexible. For the ratio of the distance b of the pairs of warp threads 30a to 30c applies to the diameter d of the individual warp threads 30a, 30b, 30c 1.2 d ⁇ a ⁇ 0.3 d.
  • the weft threads 31 are made of a material that is softer than that Material of the warp threads 30a to 30c, so that the warp threads 30a to 30c forming slight notches 33 in the weft threads 31 as it were bury the latter so that the warp threads 30a to 30c slip in Direction of the weft threads 31 is additionally prevented.
  • a material for the weft threads 31 and the warp threads 30a to 30c come high-alloyed Chromium-nickel steels are considered by their alloy composition are identical, so that stress corrosion is eliminated.
  • the different strength is known in the manner of the type of Wire drawing and the treatments that take place here, which in the Practice are known.
  • the free ends 34 of the weft threads 31 have the shape of a spherical cap trained, i.e. rounded to the risk of injury excluded.
  • the weft threads 31 consist of rod-like wires whose diameter e is in the range of 1.0 mm.
  • the distance f between adjacent weft threads 31 is in the range of 1.0 to 1.5 mm and preferably in the range of 1.1 to 1.2 mm.
  • the pressure tape 19 is made from a finite metal-fabric tape, whose ends in the region of a weft thread 31 in the usual way according to the prior art, for example by a soldered connection, be connected to each other. Alternatively, at the ends of the warp threads Welded eyelets through which a rod is inserted.
  • a paper web 35 runs in, which is formed by the corrugations 8, 9 a corrugation 36 is provided.
  • the tips 37 of the respective corrugation 36 are provided with glue in the glue application device 13.
  • the remaining Areas of the corrugated paper web 35 are not glued.
  • a liner 38 is fed, which is also made of paper exists and has the same width as the paper web 35th
  • This liner 38 is inserted against the outside 39 of the pressure band 19 and in the pressing area 40 defined by the wrap angle g Pressure band 19 against the tips 37 of the corrugation 9 of the upper Corrugated roller 3 lying, corrugated paper web 35 pressed and with this connected.
  • the pressure band 19 presses with its outside 39 Laminating web 38 against the corrugated paper web 35.
  • the fully glued corrugated cardboard, laminated on one side with a liner 38 43 runs in the direction of the drain tangent 27 together with the Pressure belt 19 from the upper corrugating roller 3 and is with the pressure belt 19 partially guided around the tension roller 18. From there they are fed to a take-up device in the pull-off direction 44.
  • the heating of the paper webs 35, 38 does not have to take place via the corrugating roller 3. Alternatively or optionally, it can also be carried out within the Pressure belt 19 arranged between deflection roller 17 and tension roller 18, 1 indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1.
