Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012139661A1] The invention relates to a suction roll (1) having a rotatable roll shell (2) with a plurality of perforations (3); a suction box (4) within the rotatable shell (2) which has a wall that defines an inner space (5) that is connected to or connectable to a source (6) of underpressure. The suction box (4) has a circular cylindrical cross section and it is arranged to remain stationary while the roll shell (2) rotates. A first seal (7) and a second seal (8) arranged on the suction box (4) delimit a suction zone. The wall of the suction box (4) has an air inlet zone (9) formed by at least one through-hole (10), the air inlet zone (9) is located in the area between the first seal (7) and the second seal (8) such that a suction zone (11) is formed in the area between the seals (7, 8) when the suction box (4) is connected to a source (6) of underpressure. With regard to the seals (7, 8), the air inlet zone (9) is asymmetrically placed in the circumferential direction of the roll shell (2) in such a way that it is displaced towards the second seal (8).
