Abstract
Abstract Process and twin-wire web former for water discharge from fiber pulp. The web former has two endless wires (2, 6), between which the fiber web is suppor-ted. The fiber web is formed by feeding fiber sus-pension onto the lower wire (2) in the pumping con-sistency of 0,3 - 3,5 %. The fiber web is led through a curved or a break-line shape S-bend formed by the water discharge units (8, 9) between the wires (2, 6). The water discharge itself is led between the upper wire (6). and the lower wire (2) by means of the wire stresses, as they are going over the surfaces of the water discharge units (8, 9). (Fig. 1).

1 (10 PROCESS AND EQUIPMENT OR WATER DISCHARGE FROM GIBER PULP
This invention relates to a process or water discharge from fiber pulp by means of a tuner web wormer provide with two endless wires between which the fiber web is supported, when the giber web is formed by feeding the fiber suspension onto the lower wire in a pumping consistency, preferably in a consistency of 0,3 - 3,5 I. The invention relates also to a twin-wire web wormer with two endless wires opposite to each other.
The twin-wire construction is known in the field ox the paper manufacture from several patent issues (US-patent issue 3 201 305 (Webster), US-patent issue 4 033 812 (Valet). In a paper machine it is always a question o* high running speeds, when the centrifugal force is of essential importance at the water discharge. The drying machines for pulp or for corresponding fiber web form a completely different type ox machine construction. or the drying ox pulp or other corresponding giber web (and also or the thickening) it is important that the formed web it relatively thick (over 500 g/m2, but under 2000 g/m2). The running speeds ox production machines are thus low, i.e. 30 - 120 mjmin. Then the centric ugly force is of no importance at the water discharge of the fiber web.
Prior to this invention the water discharge in the pulp drying machines took place mainly according to three different processes: in the ~ourdrinier part, in the hoisting cylinder construction (Kamyr-cylinder~
or between the wires approaching wedge-like each other by means of small diameter table rolls by pressing the fiber web uniformly and increasingly.
. , ~q33~
I
All these machines have great production restricting problems. us one of the production restricting factors on the Eourdrinier machine can ye mentioned the absorption of water to be discharged from the fiber pulp with low pressure. In the Kamyr-machine it is not possible to run -thin fiber webs. As a problem on the wedge-like approaching wires is a too strongly forced water discharge from the fiber web causing production increase problems on -the machine due to web breaking.
In one aspect of the present invention, there it provided a process for discharging water from fiber pulp, comprising the steps of: feeding the fiber pulp at a pumping consistency in the range of .3% to 3.5%
between two endless wires while running the wires at a low speed not higher than 120 meters per minute; forming an S-bend in the two endless wires with surfaces of at least two discharge units so to direct pressure from the two wires to the web; and independently adjusting the tension in each wire as they pass over the surfaces of the discharge units to control the amount of water being discharged.
In another aspect, this invention also provides an improvement in a pulp drying machine comprising a twin-wire web former for discharging water from fiber pulp.
The web former comprises two endless wires placed opposite to each other along a path and driven to run at a low running speed of not higher than 120 meters per minute; water discharge units positioned along the path for forming an S-bend in the path; and means for independently adjusting the stresses in each wire to control the amount of water being discharged.
In a further aspect, there is also provided a pulp drying machine comprising; two endless wires placed ~L2~3~5~
-pa-opposite to each other along a path and driven to run at a low running speed of not higher than 120 meters per minute; water discharge units positioned along the path for forming an S-bend in the path; a rubbing list positioned after each water discharge unit to collect water; a straight wire part preceding the S-bend including any one of table rolls, foil lights, suction boxes or a combination of same; means for feeding onto the straight wire part a fiber pulp at a pumping lo consistency in the range of .3% to 3.5%; and tension rollers for independently adjusting the stresses in each wire to control the amount of water being discharged from said fiber pulp.
The process indicated in this invention is characterized in that the fiber web is led between the wires through a curved or break-line shape S-bend formed by the water discharge units and the water discharge itself is controlled between the upper and lower wire by wire stresses, always when going over the water discharge unit surfaces. The twin-wire web former indicated in this invention is characterized in that the wires are going through a curved or break-line shape S bend formed by the water discharge units and that the stress of the upper and lower wire is adjustable.
m the twin-wire web former of this invention the fiber slurry, e.g., pulp mechanical wood pulp, -therm-mechanical pulp, CAMP etc., is fed between two wires and the water discharge from the web is controlled in a machine part formed by the rolls and the water discharge I lists by means of a wire stress. The fiber slurry is fed in a uniform layer onto a so called forming wire.
The indeed consistency can vary widely within the range of 0.3 - 3.5%. In a twin-wire web wormer the upper wire serves to bring hydraulic pressure mechanically onto the web. The pressure is created by wire stress r when the wires are curving above the water discharge roll or the water discharge unit.
~.~;33~
In order to make the water discharge more e~ectiv0, the tuners can make one or several bends on the discharge rolls or on the water discharge units hollowing each other.
With the web former indicated in this invention it is possible to avoid all the problem of the above mentioned, earlier known machines. The water discharge can be adjusted by the stress of both wires, which are adjustable independent of each other. Since it is a question of a free water discharge between two wires, the breaking of fiber web to restrict the increase of production cannot happen. This invention makes it possible to control the water discharge from thick fiber webs without any production restricting problems. The invention makes it possible to get free water out of the fiber web very advantageously by aid of wire stresses and forces caused by them. On the present-day fourdrinier machines much energy is used to produce underpricer, whereas for the machine of this invention the needed energy amount is much smaller.
The machine indicated in this invention can be used Ida. for the modernization of fourdrinier machines, since it gives man advantage because of it reduced energy consumption and increased reliability in running.
The water discharge in the machine indicated in the invention is usually made so that the upper wire approaches the lower wire coming from a longer distance in a small, e.g. under 25, preferably under 15 acute angle. Water of fiber slurry is pressed in a uniformly and slowly narrowing wedge both through the upper wire and the lower wire.
~-~33~
Since the upper and the lower wire are usually curving downwards, the water discharged through the wires can be transferred to a chute dragging the upper wire and to a water discharge unit forming an arch to the lower wire usually to an open roll construction. A very open roll construction has been used with a good success, since it admits water to slow out through the wire without counter pressure.
The curving of the lower wire it adjusted by selecting a curving radius (usually a roll diameter) or the water discharge unit or by positioning the next roll for the preceding roll. In the machine indicated in this invention it is advantageous to make the first curving downwards, since then it is possible to get the greatest water amount out of the fiber web by means of gravity force. In the next bends the water discharge force can be increased by the change of stress, curving radius or contact angles of wires, either each separately or all ox them together. The desired final result will be usually reached in the S-band formed by two rolls.
The important process variables are the Titan of the upper and lower wire. Upending on the fiber type the number of water discharge units and diameters ox evil. rolls can vary. By using several stages it is possible to increase the drying machine speed with no damage caused to the wire. With more S-bends between the wires even the fiber webs, which are difficult to infiltrate, will reach an adequate dryness.
In the machine indicated in the invention a conventional fourdrinier wire can be used as a front part, in which the water discharge can take place on the table rolls, the water discharge lists, on wet suction boxes or the suction boxes. A too high dryness before the twin-wire unit is of no use, since the machine of this invention is capable to increase the fiber web dryness more than 20 in the S-bend, even if the output level is under 2 I.
