Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus to produce a layer of material, such as paper, carton or cardboard. A number of cylinders and rollers carry the continuous layer of material along a meandering path. A stationary cleaning tool acts upon the surface of at least one of the rollers and/or cylinders. The cylinder or roller whose surface the cleaning tool is affecting is mounted so that it is allowed to move in an oscillating fashion relative to the stationary cleaning tool in the direction of the axis of rotation of the cylinder or roller.
Claims5
An apparatus for the manufacture of a continuous layer of material, comprising:
- at least one roller carrying the continuous layer of material, each said roller having an axis of rotation and an outer surface, one of said rollers comprising a guide roller including a first end, a second end, and at least one bearing allowing axial movements in opposite directions along said axis of rotation;
- at least one stationary cleaning tool associated with said outer surface of said one roller;
- and
- a driving mechanism attached to said first end of said one guide roller and applying a force thereto, thereby moving said one guide roller in said opposite directions along said axis of rotation in an oscillating manner a distance sufficient to effect cleaning of said one guide roller with said at least one cleaning tool.
Apparatus for the manufacture of a continuous layer of material, comprising:
- at least one roller carrying the continuous layer of material, each said roller having an axis of rotation and an outer surface, one of said rollers comprising a roller including a first end, a second end, and at least one bearing allowing axial movements in opposite directions along said axis of rotation a distance between approximately 20 mm and 35 mm;
- a driving mechanism attached to said first end of said one roller and applying a force thereto, thereby moving said one roller in said opposite directions along said axis of rotation in an oscillating manner;
- and
- at least one stationary cleaning tool associated with said outer surface of said one roller.
