CA 2428854

Air turn (10) for supporting and optionally drying a web (W), comprising an arcuate surface (10A) having a plurality of apertures (3)(32)(33)(34)(35) formed therein. Pressurized gas is supplied to the air turn plenum, and exits through a plurality of apertures (3)(32)(33)(34)(35) to form a cushion of air to float the web (W). Turn angles of about 90 degrees to about 300 degrees with no contact to the web (W) are achievable with the apparatus (10) of the present invention. The unique semi-circular design allows for non-contact flotation and turning of a tensioned web with low pressure requirements, reduced air spillage and reduced noise level. Multi-chamber turns (50A)(50B)(50C) can be used with each section having independently controlled pressurized gas.

Cette invention concerne un système de rotation à coussin d'air conçu pour supporter et éventuellement sécher une bande, qui comprend une surface courbe dotée d'une pluralité d'ouvertures. Le gaz sous pression qui va alimenter le plénum à rotation d'air et qui est évacué par la pluralité d'ouvertures forme un coussin d'air sur lequel flotte la bande. L'appareil selon l'invention permet d'obtenir des angles de rotation compris entre 90 et 300· environ. Ce système semi-circulaire unique en son genre crée un effet de flottement sans contact et de rotation d'une bande tendue tendu sous de faibles pressions, pour un moindre gaspillage d'air et des niveaux phoniques réduits. Il est possible d'utiliser un système multi-chambre avec commande de gaz sous pression individuelle pour chaque chambre.
