20100101745 | SHOE PRESS BELT FOR MAKING PAPER - A belt (shoe press belt) for a paper making machine, which has good ability of squeezing water from moist paper and which, during use, has reduced damage (cracks and wear) on the outer peripheral surface of the belt. The shoe press belt for making paper carries felt for receiving water squeezed from moist paper. A water discharge groove extended on the surface on the felt side is formed as an intermittent groove, and the width and depth of the water discharge groove are continuously varied in the direction of travel (MD direction) of the groove. The shape of the intermittent groove can be asymmetrical or symmetrical at the left and right with respect to the width, or can be formed to have a narrow width at the center of the groove, or can be formed so that the groove is deep at the center. Because the water discharge groove is intermittent, water discharge ability, the quality of paper, and the smoothness of the surface of moist paper are enhanced at the same time. | 04-29-2010 |
20100101746 | PAPER-MAKING SHOE-PRESS BELT - Provided is a paper-making machine belt (or a paper-making shoe-press belt), which is excellent in a wet-web water-squeezing property, which is stable in a paper quality (e.g., wet-web smoothness or marking property), and which has little damage (e.g., cracking or wear) of the outer circumference of the belt being used. The paper-making shoe-press belt carries a felt for accepting the squeezed water from the wet-web and has draining grooves extended in the felt-side surface. The paper-making shoe-press belt is characterized in that the draining grooves extended in the felt-side surface have at least two kinds of different groove shapes in the transverse direction (or the CMD direction) of the paper-making machine. The groove shape enables the grooves of two continuous and discontinuous kinds to share the functions thereby to satisfy the improvements in the drainage and in the paper quality and the wet-web surface smoothness at the same time. | 04-29-2010 |
