A heat treatment apparatus includes a conveyance device, an unwinding unit, a heat treatment unit, and a winding unit. The conveyance device conveys a strip-shaped workpiece. The unwinding unit unwinds the workpiece. The heat treatment unit has therein a processing space where the unwound workpiece is heat-treated. The winding unit winds up the processed workpiece. At least one of the unwinding unit and the winding unit includes a pair of retainers and a pair of support parts. The pair of retainers retains a core of a roll, on which the workpiece is wound, from both sides thereof in an axial direction. The pair of support parts receives end portions of the core, below both end portions of the core retained by the retainers.

The invention may utilize shaft horsepower for rotating cylinders to move a fluid in an axial direction within the cylinder. The cylinder may comprise a spiral blade on or in its inner surface with a pitch relative to a central axis of the cylinder. The blade's pitch may be variable or uniform with respect to the central axis. In some applications, plural blades may be positioned within the cylinder. The invention is particularly suitable for imparting kinetic energy sufficient to assist with the evacuation of condensate from a paper dryer cylinder with reduced or no blow through steam. The invention also has applications for spinner wheels.

Systems and methods for adjustable interlacing of drying rollers in a print system. One system is an apparatus that includes first rollers that conduct heat from a heat source, and dry a web of print media as the web travels over a front side of the first rollers in a first direction. A last roller of the first rollers turns the web in a second direction. The apparatus also includes second rollers disposed a distance above the first rollers and that transport the web in the second direction. The apparatus further includes a movement mechanism that reduces the distance between the second rollers and the first rollers to cause the second rollers to occupy spaces between the first rollers so that the web traveling in the second direction contacts a back side of the first rollers to further dry the web.

A drying device includes one or more first heating bodies configured to heat a drying target object conveyed with liquid applied on the drying target object, and a second heating body configured to heat the drying target object after the drying target object is heated by the one or more first heating bodies. The one or more first heating bodies include at least one heating body configured to heat the drying target object at a heating temperature greater than a heating temperature of the second heating body.

Provided are an electrode plate drying device and a coating device, and relates to the technical field of batteries. The electrode plate drying device includes an oven, a first deflector roll, and a second deflector roll. The oven is configured to dry an electrode plate. The first deflector roll and the second deflector roll are disposed in the oven. The electrode plate winds around the first deflector roll and the second deflector roll. Positions of the first deflector roll and/or the second deflector roll in the oven are tunable so as to adjust a movement distance of the electrode plate in the oven.

A conveyance device includes a conveyor having an outer face that contacts a sheet adhered with liquid. The conveyor conveys the sheet. A heat radiator generates air. A ventilator sends the air to the outer face of the conveyor.

Disclosed is a knitted fabric containing natural fibers and a making method therefor, a liquid ammonia device and a shirt made from the knitted fabric, belonging to the fields of fabrics and clothing. The making method for the knitted fabric containing natural fibers comprises forming yarns containing natural fibers into a knitted fabric by a fabric-knitting method; and performing functional finishing including a liquid ammonia finishing procedure on the knitted fabric. In the liquid ammonia finishing procedure, liquid ammonia impregnation is performed on the knitted fabric at least twice under the condition of mechanical restraint by a guide roller set, thus preventing the knitted fabric from edge curling due to strong shrinkage in the liquid ammonia impregnation process, enabling the knitted fabric to be subjected to sufficient and uniform liquid ammonia impregnation, ensuring the liquid ammonia impregnation effect and controlling the shrinkage rate of the knitted fabric; and through subsequent shaping and finishing procedures, the color stability of the knitted fabric is further improved, the shrinkage rate after washing is reduced, and the crease-resistant performance and resilience performance are improved. The shirt has a low shrinkage rate after washing, good stiffness performance, good resilience performance, color stability, high strength and good crease-resistant performance.
