Abstract
A highly permeable drum for the wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper or other permeable materials of a certain width consists solely of narrow sheet metal strips and narrow webs, the extension in width of which is oriented in the radial direction. The sheet metal strips extend axially parallel, and the spacers extend perpendicularly thereto. In accordance with further development of this known structure, the connecting-locking elements to be arranged between the sheet metal strips consist of elements extending from a space between two sheet metal strips into the neighboring space. The result is a simple, readily mountable, and more lightweight construction of the drum shell.
Claims21
An apparatus for the flow-through treatment of textile material, nonwovens, or paper, with a gaseous or liquid treatment medium circulated therein, comprising a permeable drum as a conveying element subjected to throughflow from the outside toward the inside, said drum being under a suction draft and having end plates at its end faces, said drum being covered on its periphery with a screen type cover, sheet metal strips extending in an axial direction and being arranged between the end plates of the drum, an extension in width of these sheet metal strips running substantially in a radial direction, and connecting-locking elements which connect the sheet metal strips provided in a peripheral direction between the sheet metal strips, wherein said connecting-locking elements
- (a) are each of a unitary structure,
- (b) are each provided with a connection portion having a width corresponding to a desired spacing of immediately adjacent sheet metal strips,
- (c) are each connected with an adjacent sheet metal strip, and
- (d) are each provided at least on one side with a locking element portion which can be respectively inserted through a corresponding opening in an associated sheet metal strip;
- the locking element portion of a first connecting-locking element being fixedly adjusted at an adjacent second connecting-locking element.
Apparatus for the flow-through treatment of textile material, nonwovens, or paper, with a gaseous or liquid treatment medium circulated therein, comprising a permeable drum as a conveying element subjected to throughflow from the outside toward the inside, said drum being under a suction draft and having end plates at end faces, said drum being covered on its periphery with a screen-type cover, sheet metal strips extending in an axial direction and being arranged between the end plates of the drum, an extension in width of said sheet metal strips running substantially in a radial direction, and connecting-locking elements which connect the sheet metal strips being provided in a peripheral direction between the sheet metal strips, which elements
- (a) are each of one piece,
- (b) are each operatively associated with a removable spacer of a width corresponding to a desired spacing of the immediately adjacent sheet metal strips,
- (c) are each connected with adjacent sheet metal strips, and
- (d) are provided at least on one side with a locking element portion which can be respectively inserted through a corresponding opening in an associated sheet metal strip, wherein the locking element portion can be pushed through more than one of the subsequent, axially arranged sheet metal strips.
