Definitions
- the present invention relates to papermakers felts and more particularly to a
- Standard press felts generally have an essentially smooth surface so as not to mark the paper web supported on the felt during the pressing operation.
- Marking felts are used to produce paper which
- Press felts for use in the press section of a pulp dryer machine may also be provided with an embossed surface so as to
- WO 96/25555 relates to a method of making a papermakers forming fabric or a
- papermakers dryer fabric having a patterned resin surface with openings through which
- this felt is used as a pick-up felt in a Yankee cylinder dryer
- marking press felt marking press felt, press felt for dewatering pulp or as a deflection fabric or through air dryer (TAD) fabric for forming a tissue web.
- TAD air dryer
- the present invention seeks to provide a simple and relatively less costly
- a method of making a papermakers fabric comprising a batt of fibres, the fabric having an embossed surface, said method comprising the steps of directing ultrasonic energy
- the ultrasonic tool may, in use, melt not only some of the batt fibres, but also at least some of the base cloth yarns, at least in part.
- the imprinting may be achieved by way of an engraving wheel or roller. The imprinting step may take place
- the felt may be foraminous so as to make it suitable as a forming belt for tissue. This could be done by using the ultrasonic tool to make small perforations in the embossed area, or by laser cutting.
- a method of compacting a batt of fibres comprising the steps of directing ultrasonic energy onto the said batt so as to at least partially melt the fibres of the batt, said method further comprising compacting the said fibres of the batt while the fibres
- the compacting step takes place as ultrasonic energy is simultaneously directed onto the said batt.
- the method of the invention reduces the felt thickness and void volume of the batt as well as yielding a more smooth batt surface. This results in quicker felt start-up on the paper machine, particularly if the paper side of the felt is pre-compacted. Start ⁇
- the ultrasonic pre-compaction method of the invention takes place at the
- finishing stage of felt making ideally at the same time as heat-setting of the felt.
- the felt is not embossed during pre-compaction, with a smooth
- the compactor ideally has circumferential grooves to leave a corresponding embossed pattern in the pulp or paper side of the felt.
- Fig.l is a diagrammatic illustration of one apparatus for use in the process of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic illustration of a second apparatus for use in the process of the invention.
- an endless press felt 10 comprising a plurality of batts of
- the felt 10 is fed over a series of sonic horns 12 which bear against the papermakers felt.
- An anvil 13 is provided in register with the series of horns 12, but on the opposite side of the press felt. Neither the horns 12 nor the press felt is heated. Heat is generated with the
- the ultrasonic horn 12 melts the fibrous batt surface of the fabric 10. The fabric 10 subsequently
- press rollers 14,15 passes through the nip between press rollers 14,15.
- One of the press rollers 14 has an engraving surface. This acts to imprint a pattern in the fused fibrous material. This subsequently solidifies to form a 3D embossed pattern in the batt that resists
- Fig.2 shows an arrangement similar to that illustrated in fig.1 except in that the embossing step takes place at the same time as the ultrasonic welding step.
- the embossing step takes place at the same time as the ultrasonic welding step.
- embossing wheel acts as an anvil and there is no need to provide a static anvil as
- figs. 1 and 2 may be used to simply compact one or more batts of fibres by directing ultrasonic energy onto the batt so as to at least partially melt the fibres of the batt, the method further comprising
