Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sheet-forming apparatus for a paper machine.
  • two sheets made of woven wire form respective endless wire screen loops, between which the raw material liquid mixture (liquid plus fibres) is held and run; free water is removed from the raw material liquid mixture by various hydroextractors whereby a fibre mat grows gradually and a web is formed.
  • a jet of raw material mixture (liquid plus fibres) 7 is injected from a headbox 6 towards the gap 5 and is held between two wire screen sheets 1,2 so as to run at the same speed as the wire screens.
  • Initial drainage starts when the raw material jet 7 is held between the two wire screens 1, 2 as a result of squeezing caused by the wire tension. However, most of the drainage is done subsequently on the shoe blades 9 by the pressure applied to the raw material mixture held between the wire sheets.
  • the reference number 10 denotes a water deflector and the reference number 11 denotes a low vacuum box for draining by vacuum.
  • FIGs. 6 and 7 of the accompanying drawings show two examples of typical prior art arrangements of the shoe blades and model curves in respective examples illustrating the pressure applied to the raw material mixture disposed between the wire screens.
  • each shoe blade 9 is detachably mounted to the hydroextractor 8 by means of a guide on a supporter 14 fixed to the hydroextractor 8 and is arranged so that the surface on the centre line has a prescribed curvature R. Therefore, the number of blades and the pitch between them are adjustable.
  • the angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 at which the wire screens 1 and 2 bend at the leading edge and at the trailing edge of the shoe, vary depending on the pitch (refer to Fig. 7). The greater the pitch is, the greater become the angles; the peak value of the generated pressure becomes greater accordingly.
  • the resulting pressure fibres in the raw material mixture held between the wire screens 1 and 2 are moved and dispersed further; simultaneously water is drained through both of the two wire screens.
  • the fibre mat 15" on the wire screen 2 side is subjected to a reaction force through the wire screen 2, when the wire screen 2 is scraped by the front edge of shoe blade 9.
  • a reaction force through the wire screen 2
  • the wire screen 2 is scraped by the front edge of shoe blade 9.
  • fibres in the mat are moved further and dispersed, whereby short fibres lose connection with long fibres and tend to be washed out with water drained by the pressure P1 to the mat 15 ⁇ , resulting in lower yield tendency of short fibres compared with the wire 1 side.
  • a fixed hydroextractor 8 of the above mentioned drainage characteristics is located only inside the wire screen 2 loop, as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the top side tends to differ from the back side in the paper sheet formed by this apparatus.
  • papter industries are now managing by adopting different specifications for the wire screen 1 and for the wire screen 2.
  • the mesh of wire screen 2 is made to be finer than wire screen 1, that is, wire screen 2 has more weaves.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus for forming paper sheet having at least two fixed hydroextractors which have separate locations for drainage to the hydroextractor side and for dispersion of fibres; the hydroextractors are arranged alternately on opposite sides to two wire screen loops.
  • the front edge of the shoe blade is preferably formed so that the wire screens proceed without bending at that edge. Therefore, the front edge functions only for scraping white water as in the case of a foil blade of a fourdrinier paper machine.
  • the pitch at which the shoe blades are installed is narrower than that of a fourdrinier paper machine. Thereby, deflection of the wire screens become far smaller and the degree of scraping becomes also smaller compared with prior art apparatus.
  • pressure generation between the shoe blades is small and the shearing force applied to the raw material mixture held between the wires is also small. Drainage by means of applied vacuum to the space between the blades improves the fibre yield since the drainage conditions are substantially the same as for the drainage of stable raw material mixture under vacuum.
  • the fixed hydroextractors equipped with shoe blades are arranged alternately within the wire loop. Thereby, the effects of the shoe blades are directed alternately to the two sides of the mat being formed and thus, there develops no difference between the top side and the back side of the resulting paper.
  • Initial set for the first fixed hydroextractor and for the second hydroextractor is made so that the two wire screens should not be bent at the back edge position of the last end of the first hydroextractor and at the front end position of the second fixed hydroextractor.
  • the wire tends to bend during operation due to added thickness of the raw material.
  • the structure of the second fixed hydroextractor is made so as to move rotationally around a centre near its back end. Thereby, the wire screen can be supported without bending by adjusting the position of the front end in accordance with the thickness of the proceeding raw material.
  • Figure 1 shows one example of a sheet-forming apparatus in a paper machine having hydroextractors according to the present invention. Operating characteristics of the apparatus are shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 4 is a detailed drawing of the device indicating how the decision is made as to the location of the front edge of the second fixed hydroextractor.
  • Constituent parts shown by the reference numbers 1 to 7 in Fig. 1 are identical with those used in Fig. 5 and function in essentially the same way. Thus, detailed explanations of these parts are omitted here.
  • Reference number 8 "denotes a save-all" to recover drained white water.
  • Vacuum is applied to the space between shoe blades 9′. Therefore, drainage in the region between adjacent shoe blades 9′ is nearly the same as static drainage.
  • the drainage V in this latter region is performed separately from the location of fibre dispersion, that is, in nearly the same manner as for static drainage, with a high yield.
  • Wire screens 1 and 2 holding the raw material mixture 15 that has passed the front edge 9′a of the shoe blade, bend at the leading side of back edge 9′c with the angle of ⁇ 2′.
  • the shape of the back edge 9′c is made so that wire screens 1 and 2 must bend in this way.
  • the peak pressure value is adjustable by providing a first land portion 9′b of inclined, generally concave shape between the front edge 9′a and the back edge 9′c of the shoe blade 9′ and by selecting the parameters (1, ⁇ ) governing the wedge-shaped space formed by the inclined bottom surface and the wire screen 1.
  • the part near back edge 9′c of the shoe blade in said wedge-shaped space which is associated with a positive pressure P2′ on the raw material mixture between the wire sheets, is filled with the white water which has drained, as taught in said prior art disclosure.
  • Fig. 3 shows another example of a shoe blade attaining the object of the present invention.
  • the functions of parts 9 ⁇ a to 9 ⁇ c in Fig. 3 are the same as those of 9′a to 9′c in Fig. 2.
  • Shoe blade 9" has a second land part 9 ⁇ d declining towards the downstream side, in a similar manner to a file blade of a Fourdrinier paper machine. Vacuum force generated in the space formed by the second land part 9 ⁇ d and wire screen 1 removes water, saving the vacuum force.
  • the drainage capacity is adjustable by changing angle ⁇ as is the case of a Fourdrinier paper machine.
  • the second fixed hydroextractor 11′ is supported, as shown in Fig. 4, by a rotatable support device 16 whose supporting point 11′a is located near the back end and is set so that the wire screen 2 proceeds without bending at the front edge position of No. 1 (the front end) shoe blade 9′a by making the wire 2 lie at a distance from the shoe-blade corresponding to the thickness of raw material.
  • the rotatable position is adjusted by detecting the white water taken out at said front edge.
  • the mat running after the second hydroextractor 11′ has the same history at both sides and the difference between the top side and the back side is smaller, resulting in the achievement of a good yield of fine fibres.
  • the mat is despatched to the suction roll 12 under such conditions.
  • the function of the downstream equipment is the same as that of the prior art. It will be clear that the drainage at both sides of high yield rolls does not impair the characteristics of the formed mat.
  • a more inclined wire run in the direction of the wire screen movement at the contact point of wire 2 on suction roll 12 makes the treatment easier. (For reference, ⁇ ′ [Fig.1] > ⁇ [Fig.5]).
  • the yield is improved by separating the drainage locations to the machine side from the locations for fibre dispersion during drainage by the fixed hydroextractors. Furthermore, drainage zones for both sides of paper are separated and respective drainage control is possible. Moreover, by arranging the hydroextractors alternately in the two endless wire screen loops, difference between the top side and the back side of the paper is improved and the operational life of both wire screens become nearly the same because both wire screens run along similar fixed hydroextractors. Therefore, the life of both wire screens becomes nearly the same and the shut down period of the machine is shortened.
