Abstract
A machine is provided for producing a continuous material web. In particular, a paper web or a cardboard web can be produced by the machine. The machine has a number of rolls, around which the material web is guided by the use of at least one belt. The belt has at least two zones. The zones have different properties with at least one of the zones being designed to transmit a drive force to the rolls of the machine.
Claims24
A machine for producing a continuous material web, comprising:
- at least one belt;
- a number of rolls, around which the material web is guided with the at least one belt;
- wherein the belt comprises at least two zones, which have different properties;
- wherein at least one of the zones is structured and arranged to transmit drive forces to the rolls;
- wherein the at least one zone to transmit drive forces has a higher tensile strength than the other at least one zone;
- wherein the at least one zone to transmit drive forces is located outside of a region in which the material web contacts the belt;
- and
- wherein the belt comprises a fabric in which, in the zone to transmit drive forces contains, substantially more threads/fibers extending in a run direction of the belt than in a transverse direction of the belt.
5 more elements
A belt for a material web producing machine that includes a number of rolls, comprising:
- at least two zones arranged across a width of the belt;
- the at least two zones being structured to have different properties;
- at least one of the two zones being adapted to transmit drive forces to the rolls, wherein the at least one zone to transmit drive forces has a higher tensile strength than the other at least one zone;
- the at least two zones being arranged so that the at least one zone to transmit drive forces is located outside of a region adapted to contact the material web;
- wherein the belt is a fabric belt which, in the zone to transmit drive forces, contains substantially more threads/fibers extending in a run direction of the belt than in a transverse direction of the belt.
