Abstract

The invention relates to a press for a machine for producing a fibrous material web, including at least one press nip formed between a press roller and a counter press roller of the press for guiding through the fibrous material web in a dehydrating manner, and two band shaped covers, which are each guided by multiple guide rollers in continuous circulation, so as to run together through the press nip, so that the fibrous material web is guided through sandwiched between said covers, and then separated again at a separation point, in order to continue guiding the fibrous material web on the one cover and separate it from the other cover. One guide roller of the guide rollers arranged at the separation point is a suctioned guide roller of the one cover, to hold the fibrous material web on the one cover at the separation position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A press for a machine to produce a fibrous web, comprising:
at least one press nip formed between a press roll and a counter press roll of the press for guiding the fibrous web in a dewatering manner;
a plurality of guide rolls guiding a first ribbon like fabric and a second ribbon like fabric in a continuous circulation such that the first ribbon like fabric and the second ribbon like fabric are brought together through the at least one press nip with the fibrous web arranged between the first ribbon like fabric and the second ribbon like fabric through the at least one press nip;
a separation point, located downstream in the continuous circulation from the at least one press nip, for guiding the fibrous web on the first ribbon like fabric and separating it from the second ribbon like fabric;
a first guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls being arranged at the separation point is a vacuum equipped guide roll of the first ribbon like fabric, holding the fibrous web on the first ribbon like fabric at the separation point, and the first guide roll does not include a rotary drive and a transmission; and
a second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls of the first ribbon like fabric, located directly following the vacuum equipped guide roll in the continuous circulation of the first ribbon like fabric, is equipped with a first rotary drive.

2. The press according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotary drive of the second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls is designed for basis weights of the fibrous web of 25 g/m 2 to 500 g/m 2 .

3. The press according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotary drive of the second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls contributes 15 to 25% of a total rotary drive power of the at least one press nip.

4. The press according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotary drive of the second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls is torque controlled, and a second rotary drive of the at least one press nip is speed controlled.

5. The press according to claim 1 , wherein the second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls with the first ribbon like fabric has a first angle of wrap of 60 to 90 degrees.

6. The press according to claim 1 , wherein the second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls is pivotably mounted whereby pivoting the second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls, a trajectory of the continuous circulation of the first ribbon like fabric is altered.

7. The press according to claim 1 , wherein a shell surface of the second guide roll of the plurality of guide rolls is covered with a pressure absorbing material with a coefficient of friction of 0.2 to 0.25.

8. The press according to claim 1 , wherein the vacuum equipped guide roll with the first ribbon like fabric has a second angle of wrap of 15 to 40 degrees.

9. The press according to claim 1 , wherein the vacuum equipped guide roll has at least two zones, wherein at least one of the at least two zones is a high vacuum zone having a vacuum of 35 to 50 kPa.

10. The press according to claim 1 , wherein a transfer section from the vacuum equipped guide roll to a receiving suction roll located downstream in a travel path of the fibrous web for the transfer of the fibrous web from the first ribbon like fabric to a downstream fabric is 600 to 1000 mm.
