Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a procedure for coating a paper web, wherein coating material is applied on the surface of the web which is run at high speed and the coating is levelled by scraping.
  • the invention relates to a procedure for coating a paper web, the running speeds being high, that is in excess of 1000 m/min, advantageously over 1200 m/min, even higher than 1400 m/min, up to the speed of 2000 m/min or even beyond.
  • paper is understood to be printing paper, e.g. MWC and LWC paper brands, especially printing papers with wood content having a base mass on the order of 30 to 70 g/m2.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks discussed in the foregoing. It is a specific object of the invention to disclose a novel procedure for coating a paper web by using which such coating can be done at high running speed.
  • the object of the invention is to disclose a novel paper coating procedure which is applicable in coating printing papers containing wood, e.g. MWC and LWC paper brands, base mass of the base paper advantageously in the range of 30 to 70 g/m2.
  • the invention is based on the fact observed in studies that have been made, that when pre-levelling of the coating (the first step) is carried out immediately upon coating, by means of scraping with a pre-doctor, so that the coating quantity remaining on the web will be 12 to 30 g/m2, advantageously 12 to 30 g/m2. and steam is conducted onto the web and the coating levelled with the aid of a pre-doctor is levelled with the aid of a doctor blade (second step) so that the quantity of coating remaining on the web after levelling will be 6 to 14 g/m2, the coating meets the desired quality criteria, that is desired gloss, calendering properties etc. characteristics are attained. Furthermore, when the procedure of the invention is employed, no doctor beard will form on the pre-doctor and/or the scraping doctor, which would constitute a factor limiting runability in connection with coating using existing procedures.
  • the invention is largely based on the circumstance that in the procedure of the invention the paste quantity remaining on the web in the first step thereof is so thin, that is 12 to 30 g/m2, that steam can be added on the surface of the web, whereby the moisture gradient of the web is changed so that the formation of doctor beard becomes controllable, that is no doctor beard interfering with runability forms on the pre-doctor or on the scraping doctor. If steam is conducted onto the web surface in a conventional paper web coating procedure, such addition of steam usually does not usually improve the runabillty of the web, that is the steam added is no help in view of runability of the web.
  • the mode of application of the coating on the web may be any mode of application previously known in itself. Therefore the procedure suits to be used e.g. in connection with application by means of an applicator roll, with nozzle application (in which case the edge of the nozzle adjacent to the web may constitute the pre-doctor), or in general with any mode of coating known in itself in the art.
  • the essential feature of the procedure is that in the second levelling step coating is removed from the surface of the paper web, at the same time levelling the remaining coating.
  • the steaming can be done close to the pre-doctor or close to the scraping doctor, or anywhere between the two. It should be noted in connection with steaming that a large quantity of steam reduces the dry matter content of the paste.
  • the steam quantity may thus advantageously be selected to be such that it will not substantially reduce the dry matter content of the coating paste.
  • the effect of the steam can be enhanced by directing the steam onto the web surface by the aid of a special housing, which constitutes a housing confining the web on one side thereof from one margin to the other, and which is sealed with the walls of the housing against the margins of the counter-roll, over a given distance, e.g. 0.05 to 0.7 m or more in the direction of travel of the web.
  • a special housing which constitutes a housing confining the web on one side thereof from one margin to the other, and which is sealed with the walls of the housing against the margins of the counter-roll, over a given distance, e.g. 0.05 to 0.7 m or more in the direction of travel of the web.
  • Levelling of the coating with the pre-doctor that is the first levelling step, and levelling of the coating remaining on the web surface and partial removal of the coating, the second scraping step, are advantageously performed against one and the same counter-roll so that the counter-roll braces the web in relation to the coating from the side opposite thereto.
  • Levelling the coating with the aid of a scraping doctor, the second levelling step is advantageously performed immediately after the levelling effected with the aid of the pre-doctor, the first step, e.g. up to 5 cm to 0.7 m (even up to 2 m) after the pre-doctor.
  • the coating material When the procedure of the invention is applied, the coating material will form a coating more coherent and presenting better quality than before.
  • the procedure is fit to be used in connection with coatings of any kind of paper known in the art.
  • Figs 1-2 the endless paper web moving in a paper machine in travelling direction a has been conducted to run against a counter-roll 2, partly lapping this roll and being braced by it.
  • coating is applied with the aid of an applicator 3, in a way known in itself in the art.
  • a pre-doctor 4 has been provided, which levels the coating applied on the web surface so that the quantity of coating remaining on the web surface will be 12 to 30 g/m2, advantageously 12 to 20 g/m2.
  • steam is conducted onto the surface of the web, e.g. with the aid of a steam nozzle 5. The steam travels a certain distance along with the web and acts on the coating which was levelled in the first levelling step.
  • the web and the coating applied on its surface, levelled and steamed go to the second levelling step, in which the coating is scraped with the aid of a scraping doctor 6 so that the quantity of coating remaining on the web after levelling is 6 to 14 g/m2.
  • the second levelling step part of the coating is removed from the web surface and, at the same time, the coating is levelled once again.
  • the quality of the coating thus obtained on the paper is high-standard of its quality criteria, and of prime quality.
  • the first coating step has been implemented with the aid of a conventional applicator roll 3.
  • coating material is applied onto the surface of the applicator roll 3 e.g. from a trough 7.
  • the pre-doctor 4 removes the excess of coating material, which is returned to circulation, that is into the trough 7.
  • Fig. 1 the steaming has been implemented with the aid of a special housing 8, surrounding the web on its side opposite to its bracing roll 2.
  • the steaming housing 8 aids the deposition of steam on the web surface and, thus, its moistening effect on the coating. Furthermore, the steam, obviously owing to said moistening effect, prevents any doctor beard from forming on the scraping doctor 6; such a beard would otherwise constitute a factor generally limiting the coating process.
  • the first step coating is implemented, using so-called nozzle coating.
  • the edge of the nozzle, in the travelling direction a , on the underside constitutes in this case the pre-doctor levelling the coating.
  • the speed of the paper web in a procedure as shown in Figs 1-2 may vary e g. over 1000 m/min, advantageously over 1200 m/min, up to e.g. 2000 m/min, and even beyond.
  • test running speed was 1200 m/min in the steam tests.
  • the coating quantity objective was 10 g/m2 in the first and second coating steps.
  • the test running speed was 1200 m/min in the reference test.
  • the dry matter content of the paste in the machine circulation did not change in the application step during the run, although various test plots were run for about 15 to 20 min. with the same paste. In particular during steaming no changes were noticed in the paste dry matter.
  • the paste dry matter content was 62.6% by weight at commencement and 62.4% by weight on termination of the entire run. In the paste sample from the second scraping doctor the steam effect was observed.
  • the dry matter content of the paste being scraped diminished about 2.5% by weight (initial value 62.6, sample about 60% by weight). The moisture was presumably on the surface of the scraped paste.
  • the quantity of coating measured on the surface of the paper was 10 g/m2.
  • the moisture gradient required for supply was achieved by conducting steam through a nozzle, after the pre-doctor, onto the paste surface about 0.6 kg H2O per minute and metre of breadth.
