Abstract
An improved conveyor edge product containing device for typical paper making machinery comprised of the main body (20) typically made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene conventionally machined with an elongated chamber (30) for fluid distribution to equally spaced nozzles (32) in the machine nozzle slot (34). The device generates a continuous overlapping fan spray pattern (66) creating a seal between the conveyor (52) and the device eliminating side discharge of paper pulp slurry (60).
Claims9
In papermaking machinery, a relatively rigid elongate deckle board acting as a conveyor edge product containing device comprising:
- an elongate rectangular main body having a top, a bottom, two elongate sides, and two short sides;
- a continuous rectangular nozzle slot defined in a cross section of three sides by the main body and open on the bottom and the two short sides, and positioned at an angle relative to one of the elongate sides;
- a central distribution chamber having a length almost the length of the main body and open at said one of the elongate sides;
- a seal plate covering said distribution chamber at said open elongate side;
- a plurality of angled holes connecting said distribution chamber to said angled slot;
- a plurality of spaced solid, flat, fan spray nozzles located in said nozzle slot in said angled holes structured and arranged so that the spray from each nozzle overlaps creating a continuous spray barrier confined in the nozzle slot except on the said two short sides which prevents side discharge of paper pulp slurry along an edge of a continuous conveyor used on the papermaking machine.
