SQUEEZING APPARATUS FOR DEHYDRATING FIBROUS MATERIALS Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: textile industry. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has a pair of squeezing rolls, each having rod and shell fixed on central annular rod bead. Shells have annular beads disposed on shell inner cantilevered portions so that annular beads of one roll are axially offset relative to annular beads of other roll. Annular beads are provided with replaceable rings of different thickness, which allow flexure (flattening) of rolls to be controlled. By positioning replaceable rings, nonuniform squeezing along fabric width and length may be provided. EFFECT: increased efficiency by providing nonuniform squeezing and enhanced reliability in operation. 4 cl, 8 dwg
