Definitions
- the present invention relates to a press belt employed for pressurizing a zonal material in various industries such as the paper industry, the magnetic recording medium manufacturing industry, the textile industry and the like and a shoe press employing the same.
- a press belt is employed for pressurizing a zonal material in various industries.
- the so-called shoe press is widely used in a dehydrating press in the paper industry.
- the shoe press is a device pressing a first surface of a zonal material (wet web) to be pressurized with a press roll or the like while pressurizing a second surface with a pressure shoe having a prescribed width in the running direction through a press belt thereby pressurizing (dehydrating) the zonal material (wet web).
- a roll press performing pressing with two rolls applies linear pressure to an object to be pressurized
- the shoe press provided with the pressure shoe having the prescribed width in the running direction can apply area pressure to the object to be pressurized.
- the press belt is endlessly formed by an elastic material such as thermosetting polyurethane.
- calendering employing a press belt such as a belting press or a shoe press similar to the above in place of or along with a roll press has recently been studied in order to improve the quality of a product such as paper or a magnetic recording medium.
- a similar press belt is studied for a transfer belt preventing web break before or after nip press, and stably transporting wet web.
- Fig. 9 is a schematic sectional view of an exemplary conventional shoe press 100 employed for dehydration pressing in a papermaking step.
- wet web 103 held between a top felt member 101 and a bottom felt member 102 is transported into the clearance between a press roll 104 and a belt 105, and dehydrated by pressure formed between the press roll 104 and the belt 105.
- Both ends of the belt 105 are fixed to discs 109 rotatably supported on both ends of an unrotating support 108 through bearings.
- the belt 105 rotates in a driven manner following rotation of the press roll 104 while sliding on a pressure shoe 106.
- the pressure shoe 106 set on the lower surface of the belt 105 applies pressure to a pressurizing region A-A', and this pressure is regulated in response to the pressure of oil injected into hydraulic cylinders 107 set on the lower portion of the pressure shoe 106 through the support 108.
- the aforementioned shoe press 100 has such a problem that the pressure is not uniformly applied to the overall wet web 103.
- the own weight of the large-sized support 108 of metal as well as depression of the press roll 104 deflect a portion close to a central pressurizing portion C as in a support 108a shown in Fig. 10, and the pressure on the central pressurizing portion C is reduced as compared with the pressure on end pressurizing portions A and A'.
- the belt 105 is extremely worn from the central pressurizing portion C toward the end pressurizing portions A and A', to induce breakage of the belt 105 on the end pressurizing portions A and A' and shorten the life of the belt 105.
- the belt 105 While the belt 105 is replaced with a new one when the same is used up, it is not easy to exchange the large-sized belt 105 having a width of 2 to 15 m and a peripheral length of 1 to 30 m but costs labor and time. While a drain is generally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the press belt 105 for dehydration pressing, the dehydration performance for the wet web 103 is rendered insufficient in the vicinity of the end pressurizing portions A and A' when the end pressurizing portions A and A' of the belt 105 are worn.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a press belt capable of uniformly applying pressure to a zonal material to be pressurized and a shoe press employing the same.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a press belt capable of improving durability of the press belt by preventing the press belt from nonuniform wearing for reducing the cost for a pressing step by reducing the frequency for exchanging the press belt and a shoe press employing the same.
- the press belt according to the present invention employed for pressurizing a zonal material, is endlessly formed by an elastic material with the thickness progressively reduced from a central pressurizing portion toward end pressurizing portions.
- the thickness is preferably progressively reduced from the aforementioned central pressurizing portion toward the aforementioned end pressurizing portions by at least one type of technique selected from a group of a crown curve technique, a linear technique, a stepped technique and a trapezoidal technique.
- the press belt according to the present invention preferably includes a cylindrical endless reinforcing base, a first elastic layer located on the outer peripheral surface of the reinforcing base and a second elastic layer located on the inner peripheral surface of the reinforcing base, and the thickness of the first elastic layer is preferably progressively reduced from the central pressurizing portion toward the end pressurizing portions.
- the press belt according to the present invention preferably includes a cylindrical endless reinforcing base, a first elastic layer located on the outer peripheral surface of the reinforcing base and a second elastic layer located on the inner peripheral surface of the reinforcing base, and the thickness of the second elastic layer is preferably progressively reduced from the central pressurizing portion toward the end pressurizing portions.
- the difference between the thickness of the aforementioned central pressurizing portion and the thickness of the aforementioned end pressurizing portions is preferably 2 to 30 % of the thickness of the aforementioned central pressurizing portion.
- the press belt according to the present invention is preferably a papermaking press belt.
- the press belt according to the present invention is preferably a shoe press belt.
- the present invention also provides a shoe press comprising at least the aforementioned press belt, a pressure shoe applying pressure to the aforementioned press belt and pressure regulation means regulating the pressure of the pressure shoe.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a press belt 11, an example of the inventive press belt, according to a first embodiment.
- a reinforcing layer 12 impregnated with an elastic material into a cylindrical endless reinforcing base is set between a first elastic layer 13 and a second elastic layer 14 set on the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the aforementioned reinforcing base respectively, and the first elastic layer 13 and the second elastic layer 14 are integrated with the elastic material impregnated into the reinforcing base of the reinforcing layer 12.
- the press belt 11 is a large-sized belt having a width of 2 to 15 m, a peripheral length of 1 to 30 m and a thickness of 2 to 10 mm in general.
- the aforementioned press belt 11 is characterized in that only the thickness of the first elastic layer 13 is progressively reduced from a central pressurizing portion C 1 of the first elastic layer 13 toward end pressurizing portions A 1 and A 1 ' in a pressurizing region A 1 -A 1 '. This is because the inventor has found out that pressure applied to the end pressurizing portions A 1 and A 1 ' of the press belt 11 is higher than that applied to the central pressurizing portion C 1 and also found out that nonuniformity of pressure between the press belt 11 and a roll set on the press belt 11 can be relaxed by forming the press belt 11 in the aforementioned manner.
- the end pressurizing portions A 1 and A 1 ' are located on positions separated from an end D 1 or D 1 ' of the overall width of the press belt 11 by a length of 0.1 to 10.0 % of the overall width D 1 D 1 ' of the press belt 11.
- the central pressurizing portion C 1 is located at the center of the pressurizing region A 1 -A 1 '.
- the shape of the press belt 11 is not particularly restricted except the pressurizing region A 1 -A 1 '.
- the difference (hereinafter referred to as "thickness difference") between the thickness C 1 C 1 ' of the central pressurizing portion of the aforementioned press belt 11 and the thickness A 1 B 1 of the end pressurizing portions is preferably 2 to 30 %, more preferably 2 to 20 % and further preferably 4 to 10 % of the thickness C 1 C 1 ' of the central pressurizing portion. Uniformity of the pressure applied to a zonal material to be pressurized is further improved when the thickness difference is within this range.
- this thickness is preferably so progressively reduced as to crown a curve connecting the portions A 1 , C 1 and A 1 ' with each other.
- the applied pressure is locally changed on no portion, whereby the uniformity of the pressure applied to the zonal material to be pressurized is further improved.
- the aforementioned press belt 11 may be manufactured by a method of impregnating the reinforcing layer 12 consisting of an endless reinforcing base with an elastic material, hardening this elastic material thereby forming the first elastic layer 13 and the second elastic layer 14 and thereafter performing cutting, polishing or the like for progressively reducing the thickness of the first elastic layer 13 from the central pressurizing portion C 1 toward the end pressurizing portions A 1 and A 1 ' of the first elastic layer 13, for example.
- the reinforcing base impregnated with the elastic material can be prepared from woven fabric or nonwoven fabric, for example. While generally known woven fabric can be employed as the woven fabric, for example, multiple cloth such as warp triple cloth, warp quadruple cloth or the like is preferably employed, for example. In this case, the woven fabric includes such a large number of voids that the degree of impregnation with the elastic material can be improved for attaining a sufficient anchor effect between the elastic material and the reinforcing base, whereby delamination between the elastic material and the reinforcing base can be prevented.
- the nonwoven fabric can be formed by dry nonwoven fabric prepared by a method such as thermal bonding, chemical bonding or air layering, wet nonwoven fabric prepared by bonding fiber with a binder or the like or nonwoven fabric prepared by a method such as spun lacing, spun bonding, melt blowing, needle punching or stitch bonding.
- At least one type of natural fiber and/or at least one type of synthetic fiber can be employed as the material(s) for the aforementioned woven or nonwoven fabric.
- the natural fiber includes fiber such as cotton, hemp, silk or wool, for example.
- the synthetic fiber includes fiber such as rayon, polyester, acrylic, polypropylene, polyethylene, ultrahigh-molecular polyethylene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyurethane, polyamide, total aromatic polyamide, carbon, glass, metal or fluorine, for example.
- At least one type of rubber and/or at least one type of thermoplastic elastomer can be employed as the elastic material.
- the rubber includes butyl rubber, natural rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, chloroprene rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber, nitrile rubber, polynorbornene rubber, acrylic rubber, urethane rubber, silicone rubber or epichlorohydrin rubber, for example.
- the thermoplastic elastomer includes styrene-based, olefin-based, ester-based, polyamide-based, vinyl chloride-based or urethane-based thermoplastic elastomer, for example.
- Reinforcing filamentous bodies can be arranged in the first elastic layer 13 and the second elastic layer 14. In this case, the mechanical strength of the press belt 11 can be improved.
- the aforementioned at least one type of natural fiber and/or at least one type of synthetic fiber can be employed for the reinforcing filamentous bodies, for example.
- the reinforcing filamentous bodies are preferably prepared from at least one type of fiber selected from inorganic fiber such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, boron fiber, alumina fiber, potassium titanate fiber, silica fiber or zirconia fiber or organic fiber such as total aromatic polyamide fiber, total aromatic polyester fiber, ultrahigh-molecular polyethylene fiber, high-strength vinylon fiber or high-strength acrylic fiber.
- the strength of the press belt 11 according to the present invention can be further improved.
- the aforementioned reinforcing filamentous bodies can be used in the form of bundles of filaments, thread, roving or cords. Further, the reinforcing filamentous bodies can be arranged in unidirectional or multidirectional combination selected from the peripheral direction, the width direction and the oblique direction of the press belt 11.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view of a press belt 21, an example of the inventive press belt, according to a second embodiment.
- a reinforcing layer 22 is set between a first elastic layer 23 and a second elastic layer 24 set on the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical endless reinforcing base respectively, and the first elastic layer 23 and the second elastic layer 24 are integrated with an elastic material of the reinforcing layer 22 impregnated into the reinforcing base.
- the press belt 21 according to the second embodiment is characterized in that the thicknesses of both of the first elastic layer 23 and the second elastic layer 24 are progressively reduced from central pressurizing portions C 2 and C 2 ' toward end pressurizing portions A 2 and A 2 ' and B 2 and B 2 ' respectively.
- a curve connecting the portions B 2 , C 2 ' and B 2 ' in the second elastic layer 24 with each other is also preferably crowned as described above.
- the remaining points of the second embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic sectional view of a press belt 31, an example of the inventive press belt, according to a third embodiment.

- the press belt 31 according to the third embodiment is characterized in that the thickness of only the second elastic layer 34 is progressively reduced from a central pressurizing portion C 3 ' toward end pressurizing portions B 3 and B 3 ' respectively.
- a curve connecting the portions B 3 , C 3 ' and B 3 ' in the second elastic layer 34 with each other is preferably crowned as described above.

- the press belt can be preferably employed as a belt for a shoe press, in particular.
- the shoe press at least comprises the aforementioned press belt, a pressure shoe applying pressure to the press belt and pressure regulation means regulating the pressure of the pressure shoe.
- the pressure shoe can be prepared from a generally known metal plate or the like, for example.
- the pressure regulation means can be prepared from generally known hydraulic cylinders or the like, for example.
- Fig. 8 is a schematic sectional view of an exemplary shoe press 80 according to the present invention.
- both ends of a press belt 81 are fixed to discs 85 of metal rotatably supported on both ends of an unrotating support 84 through bearings, so that the shoe press belt 81 rotates in a driven manner following rotation of an unillustrated counter press roll while sliding on a pressure shoe 82.
- the pressure shoe 82 of a metal plate is set on hydraulic cylinders 83 serving as pressure regulation means, and these hydraulic cylinders 83 are set on a metal support 84.
- the pressure of the pressure shoe 82 is regulated in response to the pressure of oil supplied to the hydraulic cylinders 83 through the support 84.
- a zonal material such as wet web transported to the aforementioned shoe press 80 is subjected to pressurization such as dehydration, calendering or the like due to pressure formed between the press belt 81 forced up by the pressure shoe 82 and the depressed press roll (not shown).
- the shoe press 80 employs the press belt 81 whose thickness is progressively reduced from a central pressurizing portion toward end pressurizing portions. Also when a portion of the support 84 close to the central pressurizing portion is deflected downward due to the depression of the press roll (not shown) and the own weight of the support 84, therefore, the pressure applied to the zonal material (not shown) is uniform in the overall pressurizing region so that the quality of products to be pressurized can be improved.
- the thickness of the press belt according to the present invention is progressively reduced from the central pressurizing portion toward the end pressurizing portions, whereby the press belt can be prevented from extreme wear from the central pressurizing portion toward both end pressurizing portions, and durability of the press belt can be improved.
- the frequency for exchanging the press belt can be reduced due to the improvement of the durability of the press belt, whereby the cost for pressurization can be reduced.
- the thickness of the press belt is progressively reduced from the central pressurizing portion toward the end pressurizing portions, whereby the overall zonal material to be pressurized can be uniformly pressurized, and the quality of products to be pressed can be improved.
