Abstract

The invention relates to a method for treating a textile material web (W) for reducing the gas permeability of the material web (W), in which method the material web (W), comprising one planar first side (W1) and an opposite planar second side (W2), is transported in a forward direction (V) and guided through at least one treatment gap (33, 53) formed by a treatment roller (31, 51) and a counter tool (32, 52). According to the invention, water is applied to at least one of the two planar sides (W1, W2) of the material web (W) before passage through the treatment gap (33, 53), and the material web (W) is then pressure-treated in the treatment gap (33, 53) and temperature-treated on at least one of the two planar sides (W1, W2).

The invention relates to a two-drum winder for winding material to be wound, said material being fed in a divided manner, onto multiple winding cores, comprising two axially parallel support rollers (1, 2), which form a bearing (3) for each roll (4) formed by a winding core and the material to be wound and one supporting roller (2) of which is arranged in an adjustable manner with respect to the other supporting roller (1) by means of a movement, and comprising guiding devices (15) for laterally fixing the multiple winding cores, each guiding device being connected to a machine element (21) in order to carry out a movement which is guided in a forced manner, wherein the element transmits a movement variable of the adjustment of the at least one adjustable supporting roller (2), as an adjustment mechanism, to the guiding device (15). The two-drum winder also comprise a loading roller (15) which is guided on the guiding devices (15) and which presses the roll (4) onto the bearing (3) formed by the supporting rollers (1, 2) with an adjustable force. The loading roller (2) can be loaded via a cross-beam (9) which is movably arranged on a horizontal guide (32) at each end. The horizontal guides (32) are arranged on slide plates (33) at both sides, said slide plates being mounted in guides (34) in a height-adjustable manner and being coupled so as to be synchronized.

Abstract

The invention relates to a calender (1) for smoothing a paper or cardboard web (2), comprising at least one nip (3) formed between a heatable roller (4) and a counter element (5), a device (6) for generating a predetermined pressure in the nip (3), and a web treatment device (7) having two contact surfaces (9, 10) forming a treatment gap (8) and being arranged upstream of the nip (3). One of said contact surfaces is a revolving contact surface (9) formed by a band (14) revolving around guide rollers (11, 12, 13). The other contact surface (10) is formed by the rotating outer wall of the heatable roller (4). The treatment gap (8) extends along a grade (15) of the enlacement of the heatable roller (4), wherein, in order to increase the thermal efficiency of the heat exchange, the rotating band (14) having an elastic surface presses the paper or cardboard web (12) against the heatable roller (4), and the guide rollers (11, 12, 13) control belt tension forces of the rotating band (14) in the treatment gap (8).
