METHOD FOR IMPROVED RUSH TRANSFER TO PRODUCE HIGH BULK WITHOUT MACROFOLDS

摘要

PURPOSE: A transferring method for a rush is provided to minimize a possibility of formation of an undesired large wrinkle in a web while transferring by deflecting a carrier fabric toward a transfer fabric by using a deflecting member. CONSTITUTION: A method for improving the rush transfer of a web (11), such as a tissue web, is disclosed. The method provides for greater angles of convergence (AC) and divergence (AD) of the carrier fabric (7) and the transfer fabric (3)at the point of transfer by deflecting the carrier fabric toward the transfer fabric using a deflection element, such as a roll (6), positioned opposite the vacuum transfer head (5). The greater angles of convergence and divergence minimize the potential for undesirable macro folds being formed in the web during transfer.
