Definitions

  • the invention concerns a method in the manufacture of paper or board for dewatering of the paper web that is being manufactured and that has been drained in the former of the paper machine, in which method the dewatering takes place by passing the paper web on support of fabrics that receive water through a number of subsequent dewatering nips so that, by the effect of the compression pressure, water is transferred out of the fibre mesh of the paper web into the spaces in the fabric that receives water as well as into the spaces in the hollow faces of the mobile dewatering members, such as press rolls.
  • the invention concerns a press section of a paper machine, into which the paper web to be dewatered by pressing is passed from the former of the paper machine and from which the paper web is passed into the drying section of the paper machine, which press section comprises at least two separate press-nip zones, two press fabrics that receive water passing through at least the first one of said pressnip zones, between which fabrics the web runs through said nip zone.
  • the structure of paper in particular of printing paper, must also be symmetric.
  • the good printing properties required from printing paper mean good smoothness, evenness and certain absorption properties at both faces.
  • the properties of paper, in particular the symmetry of density, are affected considerably by the operation of the press section in a paper machine, which has also a decisive significance for the evenness of the transverse profiles and longitudinal profiles of the paper.
  • Dewatering by means of pressing is energy-economically preferable to dewatering by evaporation. This is why attempts should be made to remove a maximum proportion of water out of a paper web by pressing in order that the proportion of water that must be removed by evaporation could be made as low as possible.
  • the increased running speeds of paper machines provide new, so far unsolved problems expressly in the dewatering taking place by pressing, because the press impulse cannot be increased sufficiently by the means known in prior art, above all because, at high speeds, the nip times remain unduly short and, on the other hand, the peak pressure of compression cannot be increased beyond a certain limit without destruction of the structure of the web.
  • the property profiles of the paper that is produced in the machine direction are also affected significantly by oscillations of the press section, the transverse variations of properties by the transverse profiles of the nip pressures in the press nips, and with increasing running speeds of the machine these profile problems tend to be increased remarkably.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide novel solutions for the problems discussed above so that the above drawbacks in prior art and the drawbacks that will come out later are substantially avoided.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a method for dewatering of a paper web by pressing at high speeds, in particular at speeds of about 25...40 m/s, so that the adjustability of the press section is versatile, the properties of quality of the web produced can be kept high, and the web is not subjected to excessive dynamic forces that produce breaks.
  • one of the aims is that the overall construction of the press section, in particular its frame construction, should be such that the replacement of press rolls and press fabrics can be accomplished quickly so as to minimize the standstill times.
  • the method of the invention is mainly characterized in that the method comprises a combination of the following steps: the paper web is transferred from the forming wire onto the wire in the drying section while constantly on support of a fabric that receives water, a transfer fabric, or of any other, corresponding transfer surface as a closed draw, preferably at a speed that is higher than about 25...
  • dewatering of the paper web is carried out by means of at least two subsequient press nips, of which nips at least one press nip is a so-called extended-nip zone, whose length in the machine direction is larger than z > about 100 mm, and said extended-nip zone is formed in connection with a mobile flexible press-band loop, and the distribution of the compression pressure employed within said extended-nip press zone is regulated and/or selected both in the transverse direction of the web (W) and in the machine direction so as to set or to control the different profiles of properties of the web.
  • the press section in accordance with the invention is mainly characterized in that the press section comprises a combination of: press and transfer fabrics fitted in such a way that the paper web to be pressed has a closed draw supported by a press fabric from the pick-up point to the drying section, to the transfer point, without free, unsupported draws, an arrangement of press fabrics and press rolls, which forms at least two separate press zones that dewater the web, between which press zones the web has said closed draw supported by a fabric in said arrangement, while at least one of said arrangements forms an extended-nip press zone, which is formed between a hose roll or a band roll and an opposite press roll.
  • the paper web is not passed through the press section on one press fabric, but, toassiee an adequate dewatering capacity, an arangement of fabrics is employed in which the web is transferred from the pick-up point on the first upper fabric through the first press zone, preferably an extended-nip zone, through which zone the first lower fabric runs, onto which the web is transferred after said nip zone, and from said first lower fabric the web is transferred onto the second upper fabric, which carries the web into the second nip zone, which consists of a roll nip or preferably of an extended-nip zone, after which the web is transferred onto the second lower fabric, which runs through said nip zone and carries the web on its upper face as a closed draw onto the drying wire or into the next nip zone.
  • the most important objective achieved by means of the invention is a satisfactory running quality of the paper machine even at speeds as high as about 30...40 m/s. This has been achieved because of a "linear" draw of the web and of a nip arrangement that provides sufficiently long nip times.
  • the closed draw in accordance with the invention has been accomplished so that one and the same fabric does not carry the web through the whole press zone, but in at least two subsequent press zones two pairs of press fabrics are employed, the web being transferred onto the first upper fabric at the pick-up point, and after the first nip zone the web is transferred from the first lower fabric onto the second upper fabric, and after the second nip zone on the second lower fabric onto the drying wire or into the next nip zone, whose lower fabric carries the web onto the drying wire as a closed draw.
  • the method and the press section in accordance with the invention are intended for use above all with thin paper qualities, whose grammage is lower than 120 g/m2 and with which a closed draw of the web is indispensable at the high web speeds meant in the invention.
  • the invention also achieves a sufficiently cautious and gentle start of the dewatering, which is important because at high speeds the water contents in the web after the former also tend to be higher.
  • said "Sym-Belt Press” provides several advantages of synergism, of wich should be mentioned that said press produces practically no oscillations at all, for which reason it is well suitable also for very high speeds, said press permits keeping of the nip loads at a sufficiently low level in particular in the initial part of the press section and makes it possible to keep the nip times at a reasonable level even at very high speeds (30...40 m/s).
  • a further essential feature of the invention is the use of two press fabrics and their joint operation so that the web is transferred from the pick-up point onto the first upper fabric, after the first nip zone onto the first lower fabric, from the first lower fabric by means of a transfer-suction roll or equivalent onto the second upper fabric, and on it further after the second nip zone onto the second lower fabric, on which the web is transferred as a closed draw onto the drying wire or into the next press zone, in whose connection there is a pair of press and transfer fabrics similar to those described above.
  • said "Sym-Belt Press” provides entirely novel possibilities to control and to regulate the distribution of the nip pressures in the extended-nip zone both in the machine direction and in the transverse direction. Further advantages include low power consumption, elimination of difficulties of oil treatment, reduced wear of the mantle of the hose roll, and reasonable dry solids content of the web even at high speeds (30...40 m/s).
  • US Patent No. 4,584,059 as well as to the applicant's FI Patent No. 66,932 and FI Patent Applications Nos. 892517 and 892518.
  • the invention is related to a press frame solution which is suitable expressly for its environment and which provides advantages of synergism, because of which press frame solution the press rolls and fabrics can be replaced relatively quickly, which, for its part, increases the overall degree of operation of the paper machine and the economy of the paper machine investment.

  • Figure 12 shows an alternative construction that accomplishes an extended nip and that is provided with a closed glide belt loop.
  • the press section comprises a first upper fabric 20 that receives water, onto which fabric the web W is transferred on the suction zone 21a of the pick-up roll 21 at the pick-up point P from the forming wire 10, whose return run starts from the wire drive roll 12.
  • the press has two subsequent press nips, which remove water from the web W efficiently and between which the web W has a fully closed draw so that it is constantly supported by a fabric.
  • both nips NP1 and NP2 are so-called extended nips, whose press zone is substantially longer than that in a normal sharp roll nip.

  • the second nip a sharp roll nip N2 formed between hollow-faced rolls.

  • the press section includes a second upper fabric 40, onto which the web W is transferred as a closed draw by means of the suction zone 41a of the suction roll 41. After the first nip NP1, it is ensured that the web W follows the first lower fabric 30 by means of a suction box 36 or a corresponding foil arrangement.
  • the second upper fabric 40 is guided by alignment, tensioning and guide rolls 42 and conditioned by conditioning devices 43.
  • the second extended nip NP2 is also formed in connection with a hose roll 45, which is similar to the hose roll at the extended nip NP1.
  • the lower press member at the nip NP2 is a smooth-faced 105′ press roll 105, in connection with whose lower sector a doctor 107 operates, which doctors the web W o going to broke handling and the leader band to the broke handling arrangement placed below (not shown).
  • the smooth face 105′ of the press roll 105 makes sure that, after the extended nip NP2, the web W follows the face 105′ of the lower roll 105, from which it is detached by means of a transfer nip N s and is transferred on support of the drying wire 80, which is guided by the guide roll 81, to the drying section, of wich the first heated drying cylinders 82 and leading cylinders 83 are shown in the figures.
  • Single-wire draw is employed at least in the first cylinder group in the drying section.
  • Fig. 2 differs from the press section shown in.Fig. 1 in the respect that the second extended nip NP2 is a two-fabric nip and includes a lower fabric 50, which is guided by the tensioning, alignment and guide rolls 52 and conditioned by the conditioning devices 53.
  • the extended nip NP2 is formed between the upper hose roll 45, the press fabrics 40,50, and the lower, hollow-faced 155′ press roll 155. After the extended nip NP2, it is ensured by means of a suction box 56 and/or by means of the surface properties of the fabric 50 that the web W follows the lower fabric 50.
  • the web W is transferred as a closed draw onto the drying wire 80 as aided by the suction zone 81 a of the suction roll 81, and further in the drying section 82,83, at least at the beginning, as a single-wire draw.
  • Fig. 3 differs from the press section described above in relation to Fig. 2 in the respect that, in the second extended nip NP2, the hose roll 55 is placed underneath inside the loop of the press fabric 50, and the upper backup roll is a hollow-faced 145′, adjustable-crown press roll 145, which is placed inside the loop of the second upper press fabric 40.
  • the web W is transferred after the second nip NP2 on the lower fabric 50 to the transfer point S, where the suction zone 81 a of the suction roll 81 is placed, by whose means the web W is transferred as a closed draw onto the drying wire 80.

  • the first press nip N1 is a so-called wire press, and therein the first fabric 120 is a relatively loose wirelike press fabric, onto which the web W, which has a very high water content and low strength as yet, is transferred on the pick-up zone 21a of the pick-up roll 21 at the pick-up point P from the forming wire 10 proper.

  • the lower fabric 30 is a press fabric 30 that receives water, onto which fabric the web W is transferred after the nip N1 by the effect of the adhesion and surface properties of the suction box 36 and/or of the press fabric 30. From the fabric 30, the web W is guided onto the face of the second upper press fabric 40 by means of the suction zone 41a of the suction roll 41 placed inside the loop of said fabric 40.

Placed against the suction roll 16, there is a press roll 15, which operates inside the loop of the press wire 19, which is provided with a very open mantle face 15′, and which is guided by the guide rolls 11. Through the wire press nip N o , a relatively open press fabric 19 runs, which receives water and is well permeable to water.

  • the roll 15 may be a hollow-faced 15′ steel roll or any other hollow-faced roll of low-weight construction, e.g. a roll with a composite mantle.
  • the roll 16 is preferably a wire suction roll.
  • the roll may, however, also be some other hollow-faced roll, and in such a case the wire suction roll is placed after the roll 16 separately.
  • the wire W which has been pre-pressed in the wire press nip N o , is transferred at the pick-up point P onto the first upper press fabric 20 proper, which carries the web into the first extended nip NP1 similar to that described above, and from said nip further, on the first lower fabric 30, with the aid of the suction zone 41a, onto the second upper fabric 40, which carries the web W into the two-fabric roll nip N2, from which the web W follows the second lower fabric 50 and is transferred on support of said fabric, at the transfer point S, from the suction zone 81 a onto the drying wire 80.

  • the fact that, after each nip, the web W follows the fabric that is supposed to carry it forwards is ensured by means of various suction or foil devices, covering angles of the press fabrics, and/or adhesion properties of the fabrics. Of these devices, the suction boxes 56 are shown in the figures.
  • the run of the web W to be pressed through the press section is highly linear without major curves. Owing to the linear path of the web, the dynamic forces applied to the web remain sufficiently low in view of minimizing the risk of breaks.

  • the running quality is satisfactory even at high speeds (30...40 m/s).
  • extended nips NP1 and NP2 accomplished by means of hose rolls 200;300 have been employed in a press section in accordance with the invention, it has been possible to ensure a sufficient dewatering capacity and dry solids content even at high speeds without applying compression stages of excessively high peak pressures to the web W. It is a further important property of the extended-nip presses employed in the invention that in them practically no oscillations arise.

  • the hose roll 200 includes a stationary inner frame 205, around which the hose mantle 201 with its ends 202a,202b revolves on the bearings 206a and 206b.
  • cylinder block sets 203 two sets side by side, are fitted in the inner frame 205.
  • hydraulic support members 206,207 of the glide shoe 210 operate, which members are, thus, placed in two rows, e.g., with a spacing of about 25 cm in the transverse direction one after the other.
  • the two rows of the hydraulic support members 206,207 support a support plate 209, to which a glide shoe 210, e.g., of aluminium is attached, in whose area an extended nip zone NP is formed against a backup roll.
  • the glide shoe 210 is provided with a smooth glide face 211, which operates as a press member against the smooth inner face of the hose mantle 201.
  • the glide shoe 210 has a series of hydrostatic chambers 212 placed one after the other, which chambers contribute to the formation of a hydrostatic loading pressure and to oil lubrication of the glide face 211.
  • Each of the subsequent cylinder blocks 203 communicates with a pipe connector 214, to which pipes 213 of loading medium pass so that a separately adjustable pressure can be passed into each individual block in the series of cylinder blocks 203.
  • An example of the distribution of the nip pressure in an extended-nip zone NP is such a distribution in the machine direction in which the nip pressure (the pressure applied to the web W) at the front edge of the shoe 210 rises, owing to the hydrodynamically generated pressure, to about 40 bars, whereupon the pressure remains at this value as invariable, and in the trailing area of the shoe there is still an increase in the pressure, while the peak pressure is about 70 bars, from which value the pressure goes abruptly to zero at the trailing edge of the shoe 210.
  • said distribution of pressure can be varied so as to obtain an optimal pressing result.
  • the compression pressure at the hose roll 200 and the distribution of said pressure in the machine direction can be arranged such that the start of the dewatering, while the dry solids content of the web W is still relatively low, can be carried out so gently that the fibre structure of the web W is not deteriorated.
  • a regulation system related to the invention is sketched, by whose means the pressure profiles of the extended nip NP in the transverse direction and in the machine direction can be controlled.
  • the regulation system is illustrated by the block 250, from which a series of regulation signals c1 is given which regulate the hydraulic pressures fed through the pipes 213.
  • a feedback signal is received from separate wirings 214, which is illustrated by the series of signals c2.
  • the system 250 communicates with a measurement arrangement 260, by whose means the different profiles of the paper web W produced, such as moisture or thickness profiles, are measured, and this provides a series of feedback signals c3 for the regulation system 250, which produces the series of regulation signals c1.
  • the hose roll 200 is oil-tight, and the interior of the hose 201 can be arranged as slightly pressurized. From the glide faces 211 of the glide shoes 210, a slight leatage of oil takes place, which oil is collected from inside the hose mantle 201 and passed through the pipe 215 back to the oil circulation.
  • the hose roll 200 shown in Figs. 10 and 11 is preferably mounted on fixed bearing supports, in which case the extended nip NP must be opened by means of a movement of the backup roll. This is necessary, because a play of, e.g., about 40 mm for movement of the glide shoes 210 of the hose roll is not sufficient for opening the nip NP sufficiently, e.g., for replacement of the fabrics.
  • Fig. 12 shows a second embodiment of a hose roll 300.
  • a band 301 loop is used that is longer than the circular hose mantle 201.
  • Said band 301 is guided from inside and the extended nip NP is loaded by a hydrostatically and hydrodynamically loaded glide shoe 310, which is fitted inside the band 301 loop and which has a hydrostatically loadable series of pressure fluid chambers 312 in the area of the extended nip NP.
  • a beam 305 is fitted, which is provided with a series of hydraulic loading members 306 and 307, by whose means the glide shoe 310 can be loaded in a controlled way.
  • the band loop 301 is guided by a leading roll 311, in whose connection a spreader roll 312 is operative. Both ends of the band loop 301 are closed by means of end pieces so as to prevent oil leakages and splashes, of which end pieces one piece 312a is shown in Fig. 12.
  • the more detailed embodiment of the band roll shown in Fig. 12 comes out, e.g., from the applicant's FI Pat. Appl. No. 891380 (corresp. US Pat. Appl. 486,754).
  • the backup roll used in an extended nip NP as shown in Fig. 12 is an adjustable-crown roll 160, e.g. an adjustable-crown roll marketed by the applicant under the trade mark "Sym-Z Roll", which forms an extended nip NP by means of its sector C with the band roll 300.
  • a corresponding roll can be used together with the hose roll 200.
  • the roll 160 has a cylinder mantle 161, against whose smooth inner face 162 a series of glide shoes 165 operates, which is provided with hydraulic lubrication and loading chambers 166.
  • the series of shoes 165 is loaded by means of a series of hydraulic actuators 164.
  • the backup roll 160 is employed together with the fabric 60 as a member that receives water, the outer face of the mantle 160 is provided with a hollow face.
  • the principal purpose of the roll 160 is to heat the web 60, e.g., by means of induction heating devices 170, a smooth mantle face is employed on the roll.
  • a heating device in connection with the mantle 161 of the roll 160, a heating device is provided, e.g. an inductive heating device 170, by whose means the temperature profile of the roll mantle, and thereby the profile and the dewatering capacity of the extended nip, can be affected.
  • the roll 160 can also be used so that it has a smooth outer face and that by it means the web W is pressed directly, in which case there is no fabric 60 in between, and in this way the web W can be heated directly, thereby affecting the viscosity of the water present in the web and the elastic properties of the web W, thus promoting the dewatering and the transverse profile of the dry solids content.
