Abstract
The treatment device includes a container for a treatment fluid, in which a drum around which the web loops rotates eccentrically. The drum is made up of axis-parallel, hollow, sealed rods and possesses a drum shaft structured as a hollow shaft, which together produce a buoyancy which makes up a significant part of the weight of the drum and the drum shaft. The drum is suspended at one end via stretchably elastic drive belts, and at the other end on tension springs, which catch the remaining weight. The drum shaft is eccentrically mounted on an eccentric shaft. The eccentric shaft is provided with equalization weights. All of the measures act together to allow low-vibration operation, towards the outside, of the treatment device.
