Definitions

  • the invention relates to a covering which is suitable for a machine for producing and / or finishing a material web, in particular a fibrous web, such as paper, board or tissue web, and which comprises at least one polymer film comprising an upper side and an underside.
  • a material web in particular a fibrous web, such as paper, board or tissue web, and which comprises at least one polymer film comprising an upper side and an underside.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing such a fabric.
  • the object is achieved by a covering with the features of patent claim 1 and by a method having the features of claim 15.
  • the fabric according to the invention is characterized in that the sections of the at least one polymer film which are arranged on one another in a planar manner are connected to one another by a welded connection, at least on the walls delimiting the perforations.
  • the portions at the walls bounding the perforations are welded together. Since a polymer film for use in a machine producing and / or processing a fibrous web has in the range of 100 to 4000 perforations per cm 2 or more, depending on the shape and / or size of the perforations, and at least some of these perforations according to the invention provide a welded joint between the polymer film sections arranged one above the other, this significantly improves the connection. In some cases, even completely dispensing with an additional laminar laminate connection of the film sections. It is therefore conceivable in this context that per cm 2 between 100 and 4000 welded joints are created.
  • the open area created by the perforations may range from 10% to 50%, preferably from 20% to 40%, more preferably from 25% to 35%.

  • the method according to the invention not only improves the connection between the polymer film sections, as described above, but also significantly simplifies the production of such clothing and therefore more cost-effectively, since the perforations in the at least one polymer film and the connection of the two polymer film sections take place in one process step.
  • a welded connection is produced on the walls delimiting the perforations when the energy for generating the perforation is applied.

Preferably, the number of perforations per cm 2 in the overlapping area and outside the overlapping area is substantially the same or even the same. By substantially equal in this context, a deviation of not more than 20%, preferably not more than 10%, should be understood.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une tenture qui est appropriée à une machine de fabrication et/ou de finition d'une bande de matière, en particulier une bande de matière fibreuse, par exemple une bande de papier, de carton ou de tissu, comprenant un ou plusieurs films de polymère pourvus d'un côté supérieur et d'un côté inférieur. Dans une région de recouvrement, le côté inférieur d'une première portion de l'un des films de polymère et le côté supérieur d'une seconde portion du même film de polymère ou d'un autre film de polymère sont disposés à plat l'un sur l'autre et sont reliés au moins par endroits l'un à l'autre. Des perforations délimitées par des parois sont formées dans la zone de recouvrement, lesquelles perforations traversent les deux portions disposées l'une sur l'autre du côté supérieur de la première portion au côté inférieur de la seconde portion. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que les portions sont reliées entre elles, par une liaison soudée, au moins au niveau des parois qui délimitent les perforations. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé pour fabrication d'une telle tenture.
