Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for solidifying a fibrous web according to the preamble of claim 1.

    que les deux bandes (1, 2) sont guidées de manière parallèle dans une première section (AB1) dans la première zone d'exposition au fluide (D, W, A) et de manière non parallèle dans une deuxième section (AB2) adjacente, sachant que les deux bandes (1, 2) sont tendues de manière à s'écarter l'une de l'autre dans la deuxième section (AB2), selon un angle aigu (ß).
  7. Dispositif selon la revendication 6,

    caractérisé en ce
    que les deux bandes (1, 2) entourent conjointement un rouleau de renvoi (U) et s'étendent de manière parallèle l'une par rapport à l'autre en maintenant la bande de matériau comprimée, en direction d'un autre rouleau de renvoi commun (U1-P, U2-P).
  8. Dispositif selon la revendication 6 ou 7,
    caractérisé en ce
    que le guidage non parallèle des deux bandes (1, 2) peut être ajusté dans la deuxième section (AB2).
  9. Dispositif selon la revendication 8,
    caractérisé en ce
    qu'un rouleau de renvoi (U1-J) d'une des bandes (1, 2) peut être ajusté de sorte que l'angle (ß) des directions, selon lesquelles les bandes (1, 2) s'écartent l'une de l'autre, peut être modifié.
  10. Dispositif selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes 6 à 9,
    caractérisé en ce
    que la première exposition au fluide se fait au moyen de plusieurs poutres à tuyères (D1, D2) disposées les unes derrière les autres à peu de distance à l'intérieur de l'installation par rapport au trajet global de la bande de matériau, lesquelles poutres à tuyères sont disposées dans une première et/ou une deuxième section (AB1, AB2).
  11. Dispositif selon l'une quelconque des revendications 6 à 10,
    caractérisé en ce
    qu'une première poutre à tuyères (D1) est disposée dans la première section (AB1), et en ce qu'une deuxième poutre à tuyères (D2) est disposée dans la deuxième section (AB2).
