Abstract

The permeable drum for the wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper, or other permeable materials of a certain width consists solely of narrow sheet metal strips or narrow webs. The sheet metal strips extend axially parallel, their extension in width being oriented in the radial direction. The webs are oriented in the peripheral direction and form parts of the connecting elements between the sheet metal strips, these connecting elements carrying the screen-type cover. The connecting elements, also serving as spacers, are formed of one piece and connect two neighboring sheet metal strips. Connection of the spacers with the sheet metal strips is achieved by headless screws. The proximate ends of the two screws succeeding each other in the peripheral direction are threaded into a nut which latter, in turn, can be encompassed by a fitting connecting element. While the web of the connecting elements is in each case fashioned to be narrow, the base should be broader in order to provide a good seal for the peripheral region of the drum that is not under a suction draft.
