Grooved forming roll

摘要

A grooved forming roll in a paper machine has a rotably supported shell ( 20 ) with circular openings ( 21 ) arranged to be open at least on the outer surface of the shell ( 20 ). Each opening ( 21 ) has a circular groove is formed on the outer surface arranged concentrically relative to the opening ( 21 ). A portion of the formed circular openings ( 22 ) extends to each opening ( 21 ) from each adjacent opening ( 21 ). The outer radius (r) of the circular groove ( 22 ) is arranged such that the number of necks ( 24 ), delimited by the adjacent openings ( 21 ) and their circular grooves ( 22 ) on the shell outer surface within the area of one circular groove ( 22 ), is greater than the number of the adjacent openings ( 21 ) of the corresponding opening ( 21 ).
