Definitions
- the present invention relates to industrial fabrics, and in particular, but not exclusively, to industrial fabrics such as paper maker's forming fabric.
- forming fabric for use in paper making machines effects the web formation from the wet pulp and Therefore has a bearing on the quality of the paper produced.
- forming fabrics are manufactured from fabrics' produced by weaving single, cylindrical monofilament strands of polymer material or metal wires. The knuckles formed at the cross-over points of such woven fabrics however, impart a mark onto the paper surface, causing a reduction in smoothness. Also, such fabrics have been shown to demonstrate a poor sheet release.
- the fabric is formed using yams which have been formed by extruding, through a die, at least two individual filaments of polymer around a single axis, the swell of the material at the die fusing the filaments together.
- the single axis forms a central axis which can be either a filament or a void.
- US 4,705,601 (Chiu-Kai) describes a three layer forming fabric in which warp yarns having an ovate cross-section are incorporated into the lowermost, that is machine-side layer.
- Ovate warp yarns have a greater tensile strength than the cylindrical yams used in The uppermost, that is pulp side layer, which allows comparatively a fewer number of such ovate yarns than cylindrical yarns to be used. This gives rise to a lower density in the lowermost layer, which enables a greater water extraction because it is possible to apply a greater suction pressure to the lowermost layer.
- the ovate yarns however have the same vertical height as the cylindrical yarns, in order that the overall thickness of the fabric is not altered by using such yarns and in order that the surface of the uppermost layer is not changed.
- a monofilament yarn having a bi-nodal cross section.
- the binodal monofilament yarn may comprise two nodes, which are immediately adjacent, or the nodes may be separated by an integral linking bridge.
- the bi-nodal yarns preferably have an aspect ratio of maximum width to maximum height ranging from 1,1 to 1,7, preferably from 1,3 to 1,6 and most preferably around 1,4.
- the bi-nodal yams may be symmetrical or non-symmetrical in respect to their longitudinal axis.
- the nodes may be flat at one side of the yarn.
- the bi-nodal yarns preferably are made of a polymeric material.
- the polymeric material preferably comprising alone or in combination PA, PE, PET.
- an industrial fabric comprising at least some monofilament yarns having bi-nodal cross section.
- the yarn has more structural integrity and is thereby more stable and less susceptible to separation when compared to a fused yarn, yarns joined during die swell or yarns simply laid side by side.
- the increase in stability further allows the use of thinner (when viewed vertically) yarns, thereby further reducing fabric thickness whilst maintaining or decreasing void volume.
- a bi-nodal yarn could replace a yarn of thicker diameter, but with the same mass in order to reduce the fabric thickness.
- the void volume decreases.
- a decrease in void volume results in less water carry and so therefore reduces the likelihood of re-wet. This is particularly beneficial for forming fabrics. In terms of production this leads to a dryer sheet, which would mean energy savings or an ability to speed the paper machine up.
- the consequential reduction in knuckle height leads to improved paper smoothness and easier sheet release.
- the channel between the nodes leads to improved water drainage.
- the nodes also provide point contacts with the product conveyed on the fabric, resulting in much finer wire marks.
- a fabric constructed with bi-nodal yarns also has improved stiffness which is beneficial on high speed gap formers with their enclosed forming zones. Stiffness equates to good sheet macro-formation due to reduction in streaks (density variations), caused by fabric with low stiffness not being able to withstand the hydraulic pressures.
- the bi-nodal yarns are warp yarns and / or weft yarns of the fabric.
- the fabric is a multi layer fabric comprising bi-nodal yarns on the paper side layer and / or wear side layer and / or on a middle layer of the fabric.
- Bi-nodal yarns used on the paper side of the fabric lead to a reduction of knuckle height resulting in a smoother paper contacting surface with less tendency of wire marking.
- Bi-nodal yarns used on the wear side of the fabric preferably but not exclusively as CD yarns has the advantage that they enhance the scraping action of fibres from elements and reduce friction/drive load by trapping water, leading to an increase in the longevity of the fabric.
- Bi-nodal yarns when added to the middle or top layers of for example a triple-weft fabric can provide good stiffness, giving additional fibre support in the top layer.
- the bi-nodal yarns provided on the paper side layer having the same aspect ratio like the bi-nodal yarns provided on the wear side layer.
- a fine and smooth paper side and a wear resistant wear side preferably at least some bi-nodal yarns provided on the paper side layer having a smaller total cross sectional area than the bi-nodal yarns provided on the wear side layer.
- a method of making an industrial fabric comprising the step of extrusion of a single filament yarn through a die to produce a monofilament bi-nodal yarn.
- the bi-nodal yarns of the present invention are prepared by extrusion a single filament to form a bi-nodal yarn. Examples of the shapes of such bi-nodal yarns are shown in Fig. 1, in which yarns (a) and (b) are symmetrical about its X-axis and yarns (c) and (d) are non-symmetrical about their X-axis.
- Figs 1 (a) and 1 (d) the two nodes 10, 12 are integrally formed and are immediately adjacent to each other, whilst in the yarn of Figs. I (b) and I (c) the two nodes 10,12 are spaced apart by an integrally formed connecting bridge 14.
- Figs. 2a and 2b illustrate the use of the non-symmetrical bi-nodal yarns (c) and (d) in a single layer fabric 34 and 36.
- the yarns can lie in either the MD or CD directions or both the MD and CD directions.
- the yarns can be woven in position either way round with their flatter side facing (such as in Fig. 2a) or facing away (such as in Fig. 2b) from the yarns woven in the opposite direction.
- the orientation of the yarns is selected depending on the required machine conditions.
- the bi-nodal yarn from a single yarn it is possible to produce a yam of increased structural integrity when compared to a paired, joined or 'fused yarn.
- the increased stability allows the use of thinner yarns to reduce fabric thickness whilst maintaining or decreasing void volume.
- a bi-nodal yarn could replace a cylindrical yarn of thicker diameter, but having the same mass to reduce the fabric thickness. As the mass remains the same, the void volume decreases. A decrease in void volume results in less water carry and so therefore reduces the likelihood of re-wet. This is particularly beneficial in forming fabrics leading to the production of a dryer sheet, which would mean energy savings or an ability to speed the paper machine up.
- a channel for water drainage is provided between the two nodes, unlike a flat yarn, which has no ability to drain water.
- the nodes of the bi-nodal yarn also only present a point contact producing thereby a much finer wiremark, when compared to the broader contact provided by a flat yarn.
- Fig. 4 illustrates the use of the bi-nodal yarns as a machine-direction yarn 16 in a double-layer fabric 22.
- Fig. 5 illustrates the use of bi-nodal yarns 16, 18 in both the machine and cross direction of a fabric 24.
- Reference numeral 18 representing bi-nodal cross-section yarns and numeral 20 binder yarns.
- Fig. 6 illustrates a triple-weft structure 26 where the bi-nodal yarn is utilised as a machine-direction yarn 16, whilst in the embodiment of Fig. 7 the bi-nodal yarn is used as a cross-direction yarn 18 in a triple-weft structure 28.
- the bi-nodal yam is utilised as a machine- direction yarn 16 at only the machine-side of a triple-weft structure 30 whilst Fig. 9 illustrates a similar structure 32 with the bi-nodal yarn as the cross- direction yarn 18.
