Description
TITLE
The present invention relates to a forming apparatus for forming a web. More specifically, the present invention relates to a forming apparatus for forming a web from a primary, a secondary, and a further source of stock.
The BeILiner former developed and sold by Beloit Corporation is a twin wire former for forming a second piy on a first ply formed on a fourdrinier wire. BeILiner is a common law mark of Beloit Corporation.
The BeILiner former has met with considerable success in the application of a middle ply particularly with low freeness furnish.
The present invention enables the use of higher freeness stock in the formation of a middle or second ply.
More specifically, the BeILiner former is a high basis weight capacity former and Applicant has discovered that when the BeILiner arrangement is provided with a preforming section, such an arrangement can be used for forming a second ply from high freeness furnish.
Additionally, when applying the aforementioned concept to an existing fourdrinier wire, the length of the initial dewatering zone of the fourdrinier wire was extended by reversing and rearranging the configuration of the BeILiner relative to the fourdrinier wire.
The present invention relates to a forming apparatus for forming a web. More specifically, the present invention relates to a forming apparatus for forming a web from a primary, a secondary, and a further source of stock.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a forming apparatus and method for forming a web from a primary, a secondary, and a further source of stock.
The apparatus includes a looped fourdrinier wire having an upstream and a downstream end.
A primary headbox is disposed adjacent to the upstream end of the fourdrinier wire for ejecting the stock from the primary source of stock onto the fourdrinier wire between the ends thereof so that a first ply of the web is disposed on the fourdrinier wire.
A twin wire former is disposed downstream relative to the primary headbox, the twin wire former including a first and a second looped wire which cooperate with each other to define therebetween a twin wire forming section.
The first wire also defines a preforming zone which is disposed upstream relative to the twin wire forming section.
A secondary headbox is disposed adjacent to the preforming zone for ejecting the stock from the secondary source of stock so that a second piy of the web is disposed on the preforming zone. The arrangement is such that the second ply is carried by the second looped wire towards and onto the first ply disposed on the fourdrinier wire.
A further looped wire is disposed downstream relative to the twin wire former, the further wire cooperating with the fourdrinier wire for forming therebetween a further forming section.
A further secondary headbox is disposed adjacent to the fourdrinier wire and upstream relative to the further forming section for ejecting stock from the further source of stock so that a third ply of the web is disposed on the second ply.
In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the looped fourdrinier wire defines an initial dewatering zone between the primary headbox and the twin wire former.
Also, the twin wire former further includes at least one vacuum auto slice which is disposed within the second looped wire.
The preforming zone is of generally linear configuration and the twin wire forming section is of curved configuration.
More specifically, the twin wire forming section curves from the preforming zone in a direction toward the fourdrinier wire.
WO 98!48111 PCT/US98/04918 In a specific embodiment of the invention, the twin wire forming section has a radius of curvature which progressively decreases from the preforming zone toward the fourdrinier wire.
The twin wire former further includes a roll which is disposed within the second looped wire. The arrangement is such that the second looped wire is guided by the roll towards the fourdrinier wire so that the second ply is brought into intimate contact with the first ply disposed on the fourdrinier wire.
A curved inverted vacuum box is disposed within the further looped wire, the arrangement being such that both the fourdrinier wire and the further looped wire are guided initially away from the further looped wire and subsequently downstream in a direction back towards the further looped wire.
Many modifications and variations of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art by a careful consideration of the detailed description contained hereinafter taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings. However, such modifications and variations fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
