Perforated rolls

Perforated rolls are used in the wire section as well as in the press and dryer sections. Their open area (2 to 85%, total area of the openings/holes related to the overall roll surface) and their design vary considerably. Their tasks are 

So perforated roUs are used under various operating conditions  

Most rolls with vacuum application emit a loud noise due to the siren effect when the holes under vacuum are suddenly refilled with ambient air. The noise level may be so high as to make ear protection measures necessary. The actual noise level depends on the roU drilling pattern, the vacuum level, machine speed and the design of the sealing of the vacuum chamber inside the roll. Some typical perforated roUs are described in more detail below.

If the adhesive used to form the integrally bonded sandwich panel is of such a chemistry that volatile matter is evolved during cure, then the potential pressure built up inside the individual honeycomb cells can be alleviated by using perforated honeycomb core this is particularly relevant to aluminium honeycombs. During processing, prior to applying the node bond adhesive stripes, the aluminium foil is passed over a perforating roll, which punches small holes in the foil. 

Almost all raw materials requite grinding after primary cmshing. For coarse grinding, a dry pan or occasionally a wet pan is used. The dry pan is similar to a grist mill but has a perforated bottom through which the cmshed material is continuously removed. The wet pan is similar, but has a soUd bottom. For very fine grinding, a ring-roll, ball, or impact mill is employed.

Figure 8.6 Severe grooving by ammonia-containing condensate on an admiralty brass condenser tube. Condensate flowed down the tube sheet and collected at the tube end, cutting an annular groove. Note the perforation just outside the tube roll.

The tube section was one of several that contained a perforation in a region of severe external surface metal loss (Fig. 8.6). Wall thickness was as great as 0.040 in. (0.10 cm) on the rolled end. Just outside the rolled end, wall thickness dropped to a maximum of 0.030 in. (0.076 cm). Most areas were as thin as 0.016 in. (0.042 cm). 

Basically, the spiral-wound configuration consists of a jelly roll-like arrangement of feed transport material, permeate transport material and membrane material. At the heart of the wall is a perforated permeate collector tube. Several rolls are usually placed end to end in a long pressure vessel. 

Spiral-wound modules consist of several flat membranes separated by turbulence-promoting mesh separators and formed into a Swiss roll (Figure 16.18). The edges of the membranes are sealed to each other and to a central perforated tube. This produces a cylindrical module which can be installed within a pressure tube. The process feed enters at one end of the pressure tube and encounters a number of narrow, parallel feed channels formed between adjacent sheets of membrane. Permeate spirals roward the perforated central tube for collection. A standard size spiral-wound module has a diameter of about 0.1m, a length of about 0.9 m and contains about 5 m2 of membrane area. Up to six such modules may be installed in series in a single pressure tube. These modules make better use of space than tubular or flat sheet types, but they are rather prone to fouling and difficult to clean. 

The metallic catalyst support can be in form of chips, open-mesh and reinforced wire structures, and staggered layers of metal screens or saddles. In one design, screens woven from metallic wires 0.01 to 0.03 in. diam are placed in a deep stack. In another design, metal foils 0.004 in. thick are perforated and expanded to form a screen, which is then rolled into a cylinder. See Fig. 12. 

Usually a circular perforated end sheet, into which heat exchanger tubes are welded, brazed, or rolled.

The extruded material is cooled and chopped subsequently as needed (U.S. Industrial Chemical Co.), (b) Ring extruders material is charged with screw conveyors to the spaces between the inner rolls and the outer perforated ring, the ring rotates, material is forced through the dies and cut off with knives.

Spraying, dipping, and mechanical-roll coaters are generally used on large production runs. Dipping is also used to cover large areas quickly. Areas that do not require adhesive can be masked off. Manual dipping is often effective and baskets, screens, and perforated drums are available to facilitate immersion of the part into the adhesive bath.
