Abstract:
A device is arranged to seal inserts between a pair of plastics material sheets. The device includes a double belt press forming a heat sealing press and made up of a pair of press belts one located above the other. Each of the press belts includes an inlet roller, an outlet roller and a belt trained over the inlet and outlet rollers. Supply or guide rollers direct the plastics material sheets onto the belts at the inlet rollers. The inlet rollers are heated and the guide rollers are selectively positionable relative to the inlet rollers so that the contact of the plastics material sheets with the belts at the inlet rollers can be selectively varied for providing the desired heating action. The inserts are sealed between the sheets as they pass between the press belts. At the outlet roller ends of the press belts the sealed inserts are separated from the plastics material sheets. The temperature of the heated inlet rollers is maintained within .+-.1.degree. centigrade by circulating thermal oil through them. The guide rollers are supported from the inlet rollers by arms so that they can be pivoted about the axes of the inlet rollers.
Abstract:
Heatable or coolable portions of a double band press or a single or multiplaten press have channels for a fluid heat carrier. In these channels, heat is exchanged by convection between the walls of the channels and the heat carrier fluid. Surface enlarging inserts of a material with good heat conducting properties are inserted into the channels in order to improve heat exchange. These surface enlarging inserts have a surface which is fastened to the walls of the channels in order to improve heat exchange. Several elements projecting into the flow of the heat carrier fluid emanate from this surface of the surface enlarging insert. The surface enlarging insert is composed of several identical or different individual parts which are fabricated separately and subsequently inserted into the channels in such a way that they have area contact with the wall of the channels.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to an apparatus for continuous fabrication of laminates comprising several layers of at least partially resin impregnated material webs which are extruded together. The material webs are taken off supply coils in the take off units and are subsequently stacked upon each other. The stacked material webs are then extruded into a laminate web in a double band press with application of area pressure and possibly heat. The laminate web is subsequently further processed in a grinding and cooling arrangement located downstream of the double band press, which consists of a grinding station and cooling station combined into one single device. Downstream of the grinding and cooling arrangement is a reel up arrangement for winding the laminate web upon supply coils or a transverse cutting station for subdivision of the laminate web into plates or panels.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic switchgear having a housing and a movable magnet part guided in the housing along a direction of motion. A contact bridge carrier is coupled to the movable magnet part and has openings. The housing has projections of different heights which extend through the openings in the contact bridge carrier and into sequential engagement with the movable part, to provide for switching-off with substantially reduced bouncing.
Abstract:
The production of wood material particles into board or panels, such as chipboard, fiberboard, OSB panels, MDF panels and the like, involves coating the particles with a binder free of any hardener. The coated particles are deposited on a support surface in the form of a mat and then are compressed. While the particles are being compressed in a press, an acid or basic hardener in a gaseous phase or in a binary phase with a gaseous carrier agent, is introduced across and into the surface of the mat or directly into the interior mat. The compression of the mat can be performed either in a continuous double band press or a discontinuous single or multi-platen press. In a double band press, two press bands are arranged in opposed relation and the hardener is introduced into the mat in a wedge-shaped inlet zone between the press bands. The hardener flows through openings in the press band onto the surface of the mat. Conduits are located in pressure plates associated with the press and bores extend from the conduits to the pressure plate surfaces in contact with the mat.
Abstract:
A double band press for the continuous production of endless material webs has redirecting drums rotatably supported in bearing brackets on a rigid press stand. An upper and a lower heatable endless press band is respectively directed over two reversing drums. The material web is guided between two external surfaces of the press bands which are opposite each other in a reaction zone, and is pressed or extruded by application of area pressure. Heat is transferred to the material web in the reaction zone by the press bands during application of area pressure. A direct or alternating current is sent through the press bands for heating therein. The current flowing in the press band producing heat because of the electrical resistance of the press band material.
Abstract:
A process for continuous fabrication of thermoplastic webs from at least one extruded thermoplastic web heated to processing temperature. This thermoplastic web is cooled under the application of area pressure down to a temperature at which smoothing of the surface is terminated. A calibrating and smoothing mechanism in the device for performing the process according to the invention consists of a double-band press which includes an apparatus for conducting heat away from the thermoplastic web in the reaction zone in which the area pressure is applied.

Apparatus for forming particle board and having plural opposed continuous belts and means to introduce a hardener in fluid form in the nip between the belts. The production of wood material particles into board or panels, such as chipboard, fiber board, OSB panels, MDF panels and the like, involves coating the particles with a binder free of any hardener.

In a double band press, two press bands are arranged in opposed relation and the hardener is introduced into the mat in a wedge-shaped inlet zone between the press bands. The hardener flows through openings in the press band onto the surface of the mat. Conduits are located in pressure plates associated with the press and bores extend from the conduits to the pressure plate surfaces in contact with the mat.
Abstract:
In a method for the continuous pressing of sheet material in a reaction zone between two endless, heated press belts of a double band press at increased process temperatures, the capability for operating at process temperatures which are higher than critical, permissible operating temperatures of the double band press is achieved by heating the press belts in such a way that they have the highest temperature at their outsides facing the sheet material with heat flow through the press belt being effected from the hot outer side to the opposite inner side of the press belt. The heat flow direction in the reaction zone which otherwise leads from a pressure plate to the press belt outer side is thus reversed and, in apparatus for performing the method, heating members are arranged in the vicinity of the press belt on the outer side thereof shortly before the reaction zone.
Abstract:
Copper-lined laminates are formed by galvanically depositing a copper layer on a portion of at least one of two endless press bands arranged to define a reaction zone between two generally parallel sides thereof. After depositing of the copper layer, the press bands are moved through the reaction zone and resin impregnated plastic webs are also moved between the press bands in the reaction zone to form a laminated structure which is then stripped from the press bands to form the copper-lined laminates.
