US Patent:

6769535, Aug 3, 2004
Filed:

Nov 7, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/289990
Inventors:

Gregory Zilker - Brush Prairie WA
Mark Levine - Hendersonville TN
John VanHandel - Appleton WI
Assignee:

Albany International Corp. - Albany NY
International Classification:

B65G 1534
US Classification:

198847
Abstract:

A belt suitable in a brownstock washer machine and a method of producing the same are provide. The belt is produced from a high-density multi-layer woven fabric, which is preferably made using an eight-shed weave pattern. The fabric provides high fiber support via a high warp-density/long-warp-float while achieving high drainage/resistance-to-sealing through increased void volume.

US Patent:

7510630, Mar 31, 2009
Filed:

Apr 20, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/110271
Inventors:

Gregory D. Zilker - Brush Prairie WA, US
Assignee:

Albany International Corp. - Albany NY
International Classification:

D21F 11/06
D21F 1/60
US Classification:

162210, 162208, 162318, 162323, 1623583
Abstract:

An apparatus for use in a cylinder machine having a shoe with a concavely-shaped pressure surface that forms a substantially mating relationship with a cylinder mould or sieve. The concavely-shaped pressure surface of the shoe increases the amount of wrap that a making fabric has on a cylinder mould or sieve thereby increasing the amount of friction generated between the making fabric and the cylinder mould or sieve. The increased friction results in an improved torque transfer between the making fabric and the cylinder mould or sieve.

US Patent:

20130140140, Jun 6, 2013
Filed:

Dec 1, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/309487
Inventors:

Gregory Daniel Zilker - Brush Prairie WA, US
International Classification:

B65G 45/22
B65G 45/10
US Classification:

198495, 198494
Abstract:

A traveling deckle is adapted to run on each edge of a filter belt in a counter current belt washer system. The traveling deckle may be used to retain a slurry on the filter belt as the filter belt is passed through one or more vacuum and washing stages. The traveling deckle may be driven by the friction of the deckle against the belt. After the last vacuum point of liquor removal, the deckle returns to its starting point in an endless run. The deckle eliminates conventional curbing and troughing.
