In principle, however, it is also possible for the device to be set up in such a way that the final consolidation of the non-woven web takes place before the non-woven web is detached from the sieve belt.
- Such an embodiment in which the final consolidation of the fleece web takes place before the fleece web is detached from the depositing sieve belt, is particularly preferred if the fleece web is immediately subjected to a coating calender and/or a calibration calender and/or a laminating calender and/or an activation calender and/or to a hot air bonder such as an oven.
- the at least one lifting roller and/or the second lifting roller to have a distance U from the nose roller that is at least 50% of the diameter of the respective lifting roller.
- the distance U is expediently measured between the projections of the axes of rotation of the lifting roller and the nose roller onto the sieve belt, with the projections of the axes of rotation being perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the sieve belt or to the imaginary extension of this longitudinal extension in the area of the distance U.
- both lifting rollers are preferably at a distance U 1 and U 2 from the nose roller, which is at least 50% of the diameter of the respective lifting roller.
- the invention also teaches a method for transporting and treating a nonwoven web made of continuous filaments, in particular with a device as described above, wherein the nonwoven web is guided over a depositing screen belt that can be deflected out of its transport direction by a nose roller in a deflection area, the nonwoven web is transferred to a downstream follow-up device, the non-woven web being detached from the sieve belt prior to the deflection area.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that the nonwoven web is guided over at least one lifting roller for detachment from the sieve belt, which is arranged above the sieve belt, the nonwoven web being detached from the sieve belt by means of the at least one lifting roller in a detachment area which is at a distance A is arranged to the nose roller and the nonwoven web is then fed to the follow-up device.
- the fleece web is subsequently wound and/or coated and/or calibrated and/or activated and/or solidified in the subsequent device or devices.
- the invention is based on the finding that the device according to the invention enables functionally reliable and simple detachment of the nonwoven web from the depositing sieve belt and that in particular the effort required to detach the nonwoven web can be reduced compared to known measures.
- This is achieved by detaching the fleece web by means of at least one lifting roller in a detaching area which is arranged in front of the deflection area in the transport direction of the sieve belt.
- the detachment of the non-woven web can be carried out by the measures according to the invention in particular without damaging the non-woven web, for example by tearing out filaments, so that no unwanted filament residues remain on the sieve belt. It should also be emphasized that the measures according to the invention can be implemented relatively easily and without any significant effort or expense.
- the detachment area or the detachment line and thus the distance A from the nose roller can be adjusted very precisely.
- various operating states of the device can be set and in particular the distance between the nose roller and a subsequent device, for example a calender, and/or a gradient of the depositing sieve belt can be implemented, in which case the lifting roller or rollers can nevertheless be arranged relative to the depositing sieve belt in such a way that the detachment of the nonwoven web takes place or can take place in a detachment area or on a detachment line in front of the deflection area .
- the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention can therefore be used very flexibly, with a simple and functionally reliable detachment of the fleece web from the depositing sieve belt being possible in the various operating positions, for which a relatively small amount of force is required and which can be done in particular without damaging the fleece web .
