Definitions

  • This invention relates to a forming apparatus for forming a web from stock. More particularly, the present invention relates to a forming apparatus for forming a web from stock ejected through a slice lip of a headbox into a forming section defined between a first and a second wire.
  • a headbox was disposed at the upstream end of a moving fourdrinier wire and stock was ejected from the slice lip of the headbox onto the forming wire such that water drained through the wire leaving a formed web on the top surface of the wire.
  • the speed of the former is considerably less than the speed of the former when forming lightweight grades because more time is required in draining the water from the larger quantity of stock used in the production of heavier grade webs.
  • the slice lip be disposed as close as possible to the upstream end of the forming section. If the headbox is disposed at a relatively considerable distance from the upstream end of the forming section, there exists a tendency for the trajectory of the jet of stock to be excessively curved and the angle of impingement of the stock relative to the lower wire to be increased to an unacceptable angle.
  • the impingement angle relative to the lower wire should be as small as possible so that as the jet impinges on the wire, minimum disturbance to the stock occurs and the stock impinges on the lower wire at a speed which is the same as that of the lower wire.
  • the present invention attains the aforementioned objective by substituting turning bars for the breast rolls disclosed in the aforementioned proposal as taught in US Patent No. 4,830,709.
  • Another object of the present invention is the provision of a twin-wire forming apparatus including a first and a second turning bar which permit the headbox slice lip to be disposed in close proximity to the first or upstream end of the forming section defined by the wires.

Abstract

On décrit un appareil de formation (10) permettant de former une bande (W) à partir d'une pâte de papier (S) éjectée par les lèvres de la règle d'épaisseur (12) d'une boîte de tête (14). Ledit appareil (10) comprend une première toile sans fin (16) qui se prolonge en une boucle sans fin (18) en passant devant les lèvres de la règle d'épaisseur (12), de sorte que la pâte de papier (S) éjectée par lesdites lèvres (12) tombe sur la première toile sans fin (16). Une seconde toile (20) se prolonge en une autre boucle sans fin (22) et coopère avec la première toile (16) pour définir entre elles une zone de formation (24) comportant une première et une deuxième extrémité (26, 28), de sorte que la bande (W) se forme au cours du passage de la pâte de papier (S) à travers la zone de formation (24). Des première et seconde barres de rotation (30, 32) sont placées, respectivement, dans la première boucle sans fin (18) et dans la seconde boucle sans fin (22) jouxtant la première extrémité (26) de la zone de formation, de sorte que les lèvres de la règle d'épaisseur (12) se trouvent à proximité de la première extrémité (26) de la zone de formation (24). L'appareil en question (10) comprend également un dispositif d'écartement courbe (34), une première fente (36), une boîte (38), une seconde fente (42) et un autre dispositif d'écoulement courbe (44). La courbure du dispositif d'écoulement courbe (34) et de la boîte (38) est contraire à la courbure de l'autre dispositif d'écoulement courbe (44), de sorte que la pâte de papier (S) s'écoule progressivement entre les deux toiles sans fin (16, 20) à travers la zone de formation (24), en passant d'une extrémité (26) à l'autre (28) de celle-ci.

       un moyen courbe de drainage (34) disposé au sein de ladite boucle sans fin (18) immédiatement en aval par rapport à ladite première barre de pivotement (30), destiné à éliminer une première portion d'eau de la pâte (S) à travers ladite première toile sans fin (16) et destiné à éliminer une seconde portion d'eau par centrifugation à travers ladite seconde toile sans fin (20) lors du passage de la pâte (S) à travers ladite section de façonnage (24) et devant ledit moyen courbe de drainage (34);
       une première fente à vide (36) disposée au sein de ladite boucle sans fin supplémentaire (22) et s'étendant en direction transversale immédiatement en aval par rapport audit moyen courbe de drainage (34), destinée à éliminer une troisième portion d'eau de la pâte (S) à travers ladite seconde toile sans fin (20);
       un caisson à vide (38) disposé au sein de ladite boucle sans fin (18) immédiatement en aval par rapport à ladite fente à vide (36), ledit caisson à vide (38) définissant une surface courbe (40), destiné à éliminer une quatrième portion d'eau de la pâte (S) à travers ladite première toile sans fin (16);
    une seconde fente à vide (42) disposée au sein de ladite boucle sans fin supplémentaire (22) et s'étendant en direction transversale en aval par rapport audit caisson à vide (38), destinée à éliminer une quantité supplémentaire d'eau de la pâte (S) à travers ladite seconde toile sans fin (20); et
       un moyen courbe de drainage supplémentaire (44) disposé au sein de ladite boucle sans fin supplémentaire (22) et immédiatement en aval par rapport à ladite seconde fente à vide (42), destiné à éliminer de l'eau de la pâte (S) à travers ladite seconde toile sans fin (20), lesdites courbures dudit moyen de drainage (34) et dudit caisson à vide (38) étant opposées à la courbure dudit moyen de drainage supplémentaire (44) de telle sorte que la pâte (S) soit drainée progressivement à travers les deux toiles sans fin (16, 20) lors de son passage à travers ladite section de façonnage (24), depuis ladite première extrémité (26) en direction de ladite seconde extrémité (28) de cette dernière.
  17. Procédé de façonnage d'une bande (W) d'une pâte (S) à consistance élevée en pour cent, éjectée à travers une lèvre (12) faisant office de règle d'une caisse de tête (14), ledit procédé comprenant les étapes consistant à :
       faire passer une première toile (16) s'étendant en une boucle sans fin (18), devant la lèvre (12) faisant office de règle;
       éjecter la pâte (S) à travers la lèvre (12) faisant office de règle sur la première toile sans fin (16) de telle sorte que la pâte (S) vienne se mettre en contact avec la première toile sans fin (16) en formant un angle d'incidence minimal du fait que la première toile sans fin (16) s'étend autour d'une barre de pivotement (30) disposée en position adjacente à l'incidence de la pâte (S) sur ladite première toile sans fin (16);
       faire passer une seconde toile (20) s'étendant en une boucle sans fin supplémentaire (22), autour d'une seconde barre de pivotement (32) de telle sorte que la seconde barre de pivotement (32) soit disposée en position adjacente à la première barre de pivotement (30), si bien que la lèvre (12) faisant office de règle est disposée à proximité étroite d'une première extrémité (26) d'une section de façonnage (24) définie entre les toiles sans fin (16, 20); et
       façonner la bande (W) à partir de la pâte (S) au cours du passage de la pâte (S) à travers la section de façonnage (24), en éliminant progressivement l'eau de la pâte (S) à travers les deux toiles sans fin (16, 20).
  18. Procédé de façonnage d'une bande (W) selon la revendication 17, dans lequel l'étape de façonnage de la bande (W) à partir de la pâte (S) au cours du passage de la pâte (S) à travers la section de façonnage (24), englobe :
       le fait d'éliminer une portion d'eau de la pâte (S) à travers un caisson courbe à vide (38) disposé en aval et du côté opposé à celui des toiles sans fin (16, 20) par rapport à une première fente à vide (36).
