Sieve cloth and method of using same

摘要

This invention relates to a sieve cloth and a method of connecting the sieve cloth to a sieve apparatus having an endless sieve cloth supported by a support belt which, in operation, is structured to rotate around at least two spaced-apart turning rollers. The method includes the steps of providing at least one sieve cloth sheet having an upper side, a lower side, two side portions and a first end portion and a second end portion extending between the side portions; bringing at least a portion of the sieve cloth sheet into engagement with a portion of the support belt; positioning the sieve cloth sheet against the support belt by moving the support belt around the turning rollers; bringing at least two adjoining end portions into engagement with each other until the at least one sieve cloth sheet forms an endless sieve cloth.

1. A method of connecting a sieve cloth (1) to a sieve apparatus (10) of a type wherein an endless sieve cloth (1) is supported by a support belt (12) which, in operation, is structured to rotate around at least two spaced-apart turning rollers (14), the method comprises the steps of:
providing at least one sieve cloth sheet (1′) having an upper side, a lower side, two side portions (7) and a first end portion (3) and a second end portion (5) extending between the side portions (7);
bringing at least a portion of the sieve cloth sheet (1′) into engagement with a portion of the support belt (12);positioning the sieve cloth sheet (1′) against the support belt (12) by moving the support belt (12) around the turning rollers (14);bringing at least two adjoining end portions (3, 5) into engagement with each other until the at least one sieve cloth sheet (1′) forms an endless sieve cloth (1); andreleasing the sieve cloth (1) from said engagement with the support belt (12).
