Abstract
In order to obtain better heat transfer in a coolable roller with an inner supporting cylinder which consists of metal, and on which a tubular roller jacket is firmly disposed, the jacket consisting of plastic and having slots on its inner circumference, the inner cylinder is constructed so that it can be cooled from the inside and a pressure resistant heat conductor which is in heat conducting contact with the walls of the slots is disposed in the slots.
Claims5
A method for fabricating a coolable roller having an inner supporting cylinder which consists of metal on which a tubular roller jacket is firmly disposed, the roller jacket consisting of plastic and having slots on its inner circumference, the inner cylinder including means for cooling and a pressure resistant heat conductor which is in heat conducting contact with the walls of the slots being disposed in said slots comprising:
- (a) constructing the roller jacket separately from the inner cylinder, the roller jacket being constructed with slots;
- (b) heating the roller jacket and cooling the inner cylinder with the roller jacket disposed over the inner cylinder;
- (c) placing metal powder which is in a cooled condition into the slots;
- (d) densifying said metal powder;
- and
- (e) permitting the temperature of the jacket and inner cylinder to equalize.
In a coolable roller with an inner supporting cylinder which consists of metal and on which a tubular roller jacket which consists of plastic and has slots on its inner circumference is firmly disposed, the improvement comprising means to cool the inner cylinder from the inside and a densified metal powder, filling out the space formed by the slots and the surface of the inner cylinder, disposed in said slots, forming a pressure resistant heat conductor which is in heat conducting contact with the walls of the slots.
In a coolable roller with an inner supporting cylinder which consists of metal and on which a tubular roller jacket which consists of plastic and has slots on its inner circumference is firmly disposed, the improvement comprising means to cool the inner cylinder from the inside and a metal with a low melting point filling out the space formed by the slots and the surface of the inner cylinder, disposed in said slots, forming a pressure resistant heat conductor which is in heat conducting contact with the walls of the slots.
