Definitions

  • the conventional papermaking machine includes a press section having one or more pairs of cooperating press rolls and the wet paper web is supported on a papermaker's felt as it passes through the nip between the cooperating rolls, thereby extracting water from the web.
  • the paper web is transferred to the dryer section which can consist of a plurality of heated dryer rolls. The paper web passes sequentially around the dryer rolls to remove further moisture from the paper.
  • US-A-443 352 shows a construction in which the paper web is sandwiched between two felts as it passes through the nip between the press rolls. After leaving the nip between the press rolls, the paper web, which is still sandwiched between the two felts, passes around the dryer roll. When leaving the press felt and jumping over to the surface of the dryer drum, there is always the risk of a break of the paper web.
  • GB-A-481 190 shows a system in which the paper web W is located between the felts 63 and 64 is passed through the nip between the suction press roll 65 and a heated roll 66. The paper web is then supported on the lower felt as it passes around the roll 70 and is transferred to the dryer roll 71.
  • the felt does not pass around a first heated dryer roll, which would be roll 71, nor is the paper web spaced from the first dryer roll by the felt.
  • EP-A-0 344 088 shows a number of different configurations andin the machine such as shown in Fig. 5, the paper web is sandwiched between a pair of felts as it passes through the nip between the press rolls 32 and 34. After leaving the nip, the paper web is supported on the lower felt 24d and passes around a backing drum 26d where the paper web is picked from the backing drum 26d by the dryer felt 16d. The reference states the web is disposed between the blanket or felt 24d and the felt 16d during passage around the backing drum 26d.
  • the drawing is a schematic representation of a portion of a paper making machine including a press section 1 and a dryer section 2.
  • Press section 1 includes a pair of cooperating press rolls 3 and 4 and a wet paper web 5 is supported by a papermaker's felt 6 as it passes between through the nip between the press rolls 3 and 4.
  • the paper web can be any type of paper, preferably heavier weight paper, such as liner board, newsprint, writing paper, or the like.
  • the papermaker's felt 6 is endless in configuration and can consist of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or a combination thereof.
  • the particular construction or composition of the felt is not critical to the invention.
  • Felt 6 is supported in its endless travel by a plurality of idler rolls, indicated by 7A - 7I.
  • the felt 6 passes around a tensioning or stretch roll 8, which is located between the rolls 7F and 7G.
  • Roll 8 operates in a conventional manner to provide the desired tension on the felt 6.
  • Dryer section 2 includes a plurality of conventional heated dryer rolls, three of which are shown in the drawing, and indicated by 9, 10 and 11.
  • the dryer section may include up to 10 or more rolls which are steam heated to a temperature in the range of 150°F to 280°F.
  • the temperature of the rolls in the group may be varied, with the highest temperature being located at the downstream end of the dryer section.
  • press section 1 and dryer section 2 there may be a considerable gap or draw between press section 1 and dryer section 2 and this draw can be in the neighborhood of 10 to 15 feet.
  • this draw can be in the neighborhood of 10 to 15 feet.
  • the paper web will be fairly wet and heavy as it leaves the press section, with the result that the paper web has a tendecy to sag in the draw between press section 1 and dryer section 2.
  • the paper web from the forming section must be dropped into a disposal site and then re-fed through the press section and dryer section. Refeeding the web may take from one-half to three-quarters of an hour and this down time results in a substantial decrease in the production rate of the papermaking machine.
  • the felt 6 from the press section is passed around at least one of the dryer rolls in the dryer section. As illustrated, the felt is passed around dryer roll 9 and thus supports the paper web in the draw between the press rolls 3,4 and the dryer roll 9.
  • the web 5 is located on the outside of felt 6 as it passes around dryer roll 9 and the web then travels around roll 10 and 11.
  • a conventional dryer fabric 12 is mounted for endless travel in the dryer section and as shown, travels around a pair of idler rolls 13.
  • the dryer fabric 12 operates in a conventional manner to support the paper web against the heated dryer rolls to aid in removal of moisture from the web.
  • the felt 6 being located between the dryer roll 9 and the web 5
  • the paper web may be sandwiched between the felt and the dryer roll.
  • the felt 6 from the press section can travel around a plurality of rolls in the dryer section.
  • the position and number of the idler rolls 7 in the press section is not critical and various paths of travel for the felt are contemplated depending upon the requirements of the papermaking machine.
