Latest Patents
Alfred Weiss holds a patent for a "Press felt for paper machine and method and device for producing said felt." This invention relates to a press felt used in the press section of a paper machine. The felt comprises a nonwoven layer on one of its surfaces, which is connected and fixed to the felt by a thermoplastic binding material. The invention involves smoothing the surface of the nonwoven layer by applying pressure from a smooth surface during the cooling process. This process occurs as the layer cools from a temperature above the melting point of the thermoplastic binding material to below it. The manufacturing process begins with an untreated press felt containing the nonwoven layer and thermoplastic binding agent, which is distributed in the form of thermoplastic adhesive fibers. The desired press felt is produced through a temperature and pressure treatment, allowing for simultaneous thermofixing.
