Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Naßpartie einer Maschine zur Herstellung einer Faserstoffbahn, insbesondere Papier- und/oder Kartonbahn, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beziehungsweise des Anspruchs 3.The invention relates to a wet end of a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web, in particular paper and / or Board web, according to the generic term of Claim 1 or claim 3.

In der Naßpartie von Maschinen zur Herstellung einer Faserstoffbahn wie insbesondere einer Papier- und/oder Kartonbahn erfolgt die weitere Entwässerung der nassen Faserstoffbahn im Anschluß an den Formierbereich, nach dem für die Fasern ein gewisser Immobilitätsgrad erreicht ist, bisher meistens durch im wesentlichen saugende Elemente wie insbesondere Foils, Registerwalzen, Saugkästen, Saugwalzen und/oder dergleichen. Diese Art der Entwässerung ist mit einem erheblichen Aufwand verbunden, wobei insbesondere viel Platz beansprucht und u.a. zur Vakuumerzeugung übermäßig viel teure Energie verbraucht wird. Da zudem das Entwässerungssieb über die meistens feststehenden Entwässerungselemente schleift, ergibt sich je nach Stoffsorte eine verhältnismäßig kurze Siebstandzeit.In the wet end of machines for the production of a fibrous web such as in particular a paper and / or cardboard web the further dewatering of the wet fibrous web takes place in the Connection to the formation area, after that for the fibers certain degree of immobility has been reached, mostly through essentially absorbent elements such as foils in particular, register rollers, Suction boxes, suction rolls and / or the like. This type of drainage involves a great deal of effort connected, in particular taking up a lot of space and i.a. excessively expensive energy used to generate vacuum becomes. Since the drainage screen is also above the mostly fixed Drainage elements grows depending on Type of fabric has a relatively short sieve life.

Bei einer aus der EP-A-0 359 696 bekannten Naßpartie der eingangs genannten Art ist die Funktion einer Presse in den Siebbereich des Formers integriert, um eine Bahnabnahmestelle einzusparen. Die im Siebbereich vorgesehene Preßstelle wird durch eine Saugwalze und eine offene Walze gebildet. Der betreffende Preßspalt ist entweder sehr hart, d.h. mit einer hohen Linienkraft behaftet, oder sehr kurz und weich, was auf eine niedrige Linienkraft zurückzuführen ist. Weder die eine noch die andere Betriebsart ist dafür geeignet, der Faserstoffbahn bei geringen Trockengehalten, d.h. bei noch nasser Faserstoffbahn, die erforderliche Wassermenge bei möglichst kleinem Druckgradienten zu entziehen. In a wet section known from EP-A-0 359 696 the entry type is the function of a press in the Screen area of the former integrated to a web take-off point save. The press point provided in the screen area becomes formed by a suction roll and an open roll. The one in question Press nip is either very hard, i.e. with a high line force, or very short and soft, what on a low line force is due. Neither one the other mode of operation is also suitable for the fibrous web at low dryness, i.e. when still wet Fibrous web, the amount of water required if possible to withdraw from a small pressure gradient.

EP-A-0 657 579 offenbart eine Naßpartie einer Maschine zur Herstellung einer Faserstoffbahn gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bezichungsweise des Anspruchs 3.EP-A-0 657 579 discloses a wet end of a machine for Production of a fibrous web according to the preamble of the claim 1 or claim 3.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, eine Naßpartie der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die bei minimalem Aufwand und geringem Platzbedarf sowie bei minimalem Energiebedarf und entsprechend geringen Betriebskosten eine möglichst optimale Entwässerung der vorgebildeten, noch nassen Faserstoffbahn gewährleistet.The aim of the invention is a wet end of the aforementioned Art to create that with minimal effort and little Space requirements as well as with minimal energy requirements and accordingly low operating costs the best possible Drainage of the pre-formed, still wet fibrous web guaranteed.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 beziehungsweise des Anspruchs 3 gelöst.The task is performed according to the characteristics of the Claim 1 and claim 3 solved.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist u.a. auf Gapformer, Hybridformer, Langsiebe, Mehrlangsiebe und/oder dergleichen anwendbar. Die Preßspaltlänge kann an die jeweilige Produktsorte angepaßt werden. Nachdem die betreffende Preßstelle näher am Stoffauflauf liegt, ist die Faserstoffbahn beim Pressen wärmer, wodurch die Entwässerungsleistung weiter erhöht wird. Zudem ergibt sich insgesamt ein geringerer Siebverschleiß. Die Energiekosten werden deutlich herabgesetzt. Die Pressung erfolgt auf äußerst schonende Weise, wobei der Preßdruckverlauf durch eine entsprechende Schuhgestaltung (z.B. Länge, Form) vorgebbar ist. Schließlich ist auch eine äußerst volumenschonende Pressung gewährleistet.The solution according to the invention is i.a. on gap formers, hybrid formers, Fourdrinier sieves, multiple long sieves and / or the like can be used. The press nip length can be adapted to the respective product type be adjusted. After the press point in question closer to Headbox, the fibrous web is warmer when pressed, which further increases the drainage capacity. In addition, there is less screen wear overall. Energy costs are significantly reduced. The squeeze takes place in an extremely gentle manner, the pressure profile through appropriate shoe design (e.g. length, Form) can be specified. After all, it is also extremely volume-saving Pressing guaranteed.

Wenigstens ein der Bahnbildungszone zugeordnetes Sieb ist durch den in Bahnlaufrichtung verlängerten Preßspalt geführt. Dabei ist es bei bestimmten Anwendungsfällen von Vorteil, zwei der Bahnbildungszone zugeordnete Siebe durch den Preßspalt zu führen. At least one of the web formation zones assigned sieve is extended by the one in the web running direction Press nip led. It is in certain use cases an advantage, two sieves assigned to the path formation zone to pass through the press nip.

Beiderseits der Faserstoffbahn ist jeweils wenigstens ein Band durch den Preßspalt geführt und der erhaltene Bänderaufbau ist bezüglich der Faserstoffbahn symmetrisch.At least on both sides of the fibrous web a band passed through the press nip and the tape structure obtained is symmetrical with respect to the fibrous web.

In diesem Fall ist auf jeder Bahnseite ausgehend von der Faserstoffbahn jeweils ein die Faserstoffbahn abstützendes, vorzugsweise aus feinem Gewebe bestehendes Stützband, ein der Aufnahme und dem Transport von Wasser dienendes Band aus porösem Gewebe und ein wasserundurchlässiges Band vorgesehen. Hierbei ist das Stützband vorzugsweise ein Filzund/oder Siebband.In this case, the fibrous web is on each side of the web one each supporting the fibrous web, preferably made of fine tissue support band, one of the Absorbing and transporting water band made of porous Fabric and a waterproof tape are provided. Here, the support band is preferably a felt and / or Screen belt.

Gemäß einer anderen erfindungsgemäßen Naßpartie ist vorgesehen, daß beiderseits der Faserstoffbahn jeweils wenigstens ein Band durch den Preßspalt geführt ist und daß der erhaltene Bänderaufbau bezüglich der Faserstoffbahn asymmetrisch ist.According to another invention Wet section is provided that on both sides of the Fibrous web each at least one band through the press nip is guided and that the tape structure obtained with respect the fibrous web is asymmetrical.

Hierbei ist jeweils ausgehend von der Faserstoffbahn auf einer Bahnseite ein Filzband und ein wasserundurchlässiges Band und auf der anderen Bahnseite ein Siebband, ein poröses, grobes Band und ein wasserundurchlässiges Band vorgesehen.This is based on the fibrous web a web of felt and a waterproof one Belt and on the other side of the web a sieve belt, a porous, coarse tape and a waterproof tape provided.

Bei der in der Praxis bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der in Bahnlaufrichtung verlängerte Preßspalt zwischen einem umlaufenden, über wenigstens einen Preßschuh geführten flexiblen Preßband und einer gegenüberliegenden Preßfläche gebildet. Der verlängerte Preßspalt kann somit insbesondere durch eine Schuhpresse gebildet sein.In the preferred embodiment in practice, the in Extended web nip between a circumferential, via at least one press shoe guided flexible Press belt and an opposing press surface formed. The extended press nip can thus in particular by a Shoe press be formed.

Nachdem der aufgebrachte Preßdruck bei den geringen Trockengehalten relativ gering ist, kann der Bereich zwischen Preßschuh und flexiblem Preßband zweckmäßigerweise mit Wasser geschmiert sein. Damit besteht insbesondere auch die Möglichkeit, den betreffenden Preßschuh in eine stirnseitig offene Bandschleife einzusetzen und entsprechend ein offenes System zu verwenden, bei dem die Schuhlänge relativ groß sein kann.After the applied pressure at the low dryness is relatively small, the area between the press shoe and flexible press belt conveniently lubricated with water his. In particular, there is also the possibility the press shoe in question in an open end To use a belt loop and accordingly an open system to be used where the shoe length can be relatively large.

Bei einer in der Praxis bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist somit vorgesehen, daß die durch das umlaufende flexible Preßband gebildete Bandschleife an ihren beiden Stirnseiten offen ist. In a preferred embodiment in practice is thus provided that by the rotating flexible press belt formed ribbon loop is open on both ends.

Zur Bildung des in Bahnlaufrichtung betrachtet ersten verlängerten Preßspaltes ist vorzugsweise ein Preßschuh mit einer zumindest im wesentlichen ebenen mantelseitigen Preßfläche vorgesehen. In diesem Fall werden die durch den Preßspalt laufenden Gewebe mechanisch weniger auf Biegung beansprucht, so daß sie dicker sein und entsprechend mehr Wasser aufnehmen können.To form the first elongated viewed in the direction of web travel Press nip is preferably a press shoe with a at least essentially flat surface-side pressing surface intended. In this case, the through the press nip running fabric is mechanically less stressed to bend, so that they are thicker and absorb more water accordingly can.

Vorzugsweise umfaßt die Naßpartie einen zusätzlich mit Verdünnungswasser gespeisten Stoffauflauf.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften praktischen Ausführungsform ist die Naßpartie in Kombination mit wenigstens einer weiteren Langspaltpresse und einer Transferzone für einen Transfer der Faserstoffbahn in eine Trockenpartie vorgesehen, wobei die Faserstoffbahn vorzugsweise so geführt ist, daß sich insgesamt eine geschlossene Bahnführung ergibt.
The wet end preferably comprises a headbox additionally fed with dilution water.
According to a particularly advantageous practical embodiment, the wet end is provided in combination with at least one further extended nip press and a transfer zone for a transfer of the fibrous web into a drying section, the fibrous web preferably being guided in such a way that overall a closed web guide results.

Dem ersten Preßspalt kann wenigstens ein weiterer Preßspalt folgen, bei dem es sich um einen Langspalt oder einen Walzenspalt handeln kann.The first press nip can have at least one further press nip follow, which is an elongated nip or a nip can act.

Zur Bildung des in Bahnlaufrichtung verlängerten Preßspaltes kann auch ein über wenigstens einen Preßschuh geführtes Preßband vorgesehen sein, das außerhalb des Schuhbereichs zumindest im wesentlichen kreiszylindrisch geführt ist und somit eine Walzenform annimmt.To form the press nip extended in the direction of web travel can also be a press belt guided over at least one press shoe be provided, at least outside the shoe area is essentially circular cylindrical and thus takes a roll shape.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Naßpartie ergibt sich insgesamt ein geringerer Siebverschleiß. Die Energiekosten sind auf ein Minimum herabgesetzt. Nachdem die erste Preßstelle näher am Stoffauflauf liegt, ist die Abkühlung des Stoffes geringer, wodurch die Entwässerung erleichtert wird. Die Pressung erfolgt auf äußerst schonende Weise, wobei der Preßdruckverlauf durch eine entsprechende Schuhgestaltung (z.B. Länge, Form) vorgebbar ist. Zudem ist auch eine möglichst volumenschonende Pressung gewährleistet.With the wet end according to the invention there is an overall less screen wear. Energy costs are kept to a minimum reduced. After the first press point closer to Headbox, the cooling of the material is less, which facilitates drainage. The pressing takes place in an extremely gentle way, with the baling pressure curve through appropriate shoe design (e.g. length, shape) can be specified. In addition, it is also as volume-saving as possible Pressing guaranteed.

Figure 1 shows a purely schematic side view of an embodiment a wet section of a manufacturing machine a fibrous web 10, in particular paper and / or cardboard web.

In dieser Naßpartie wird einer zwei konvergent verlaufende Siebe 12, 14 umfassenden Bahnbildungszone durch einen mit einem Pfeil lediglich angedeuteten Stoffauflauf 16 wenigstens ein Fasersuspensionsstrom zugeführt. Hierbei ist das untere Sieb 12 um eine Formierwalze 18 geführt.In this wet section one becomes two converging Sieves 12, 14 comprising web formation zone through one with one Arrow only suggested headbox 16 at least a fiber suspension stream is fed. Here is the bottom one Screen 12 guided around a forming roller 18.

Die Naßpartie umfaßt eine Langspaltpresse 20 mit einem in Bahnlaufrichtung L verlängerten Preßspalt, der zwischen zwei Schuhpreßwalzen 22, 24 gebildet ist. Um die untere Schuhpreßwalze 22 und die obere Schuhpreßwalze 24 ist jeweils ein Band 26 bzw. 28 geführt, bei dem es sich beispielsweise um ein Sieb- und/oder Filzband handeln kann.The wet end comprises an extended nip press 20 with an in Web running direction L extended nip between two Shoe press rolls 22, 24 is formed. Around the lower shoe press roller 22 and the upper shoe press roller 24 are each a belt 26 or 28 performed, which is for example a Screen and / or felt belt can act.

Der durch die Langspaltpresse 20 gebildete Preßspalt ist in einem Bereich vorgesehen, in dem der Trockengehalt der in den Spalt einlaufenden vorgebildeten Faserstoffbahn 10 kleiner oder gleich 15 % und vorzugsweise kleiner oder gleich 12 % ist.The press nip formed by the long nip press 20 is in an area is provided in which the dry content of the in the Gap incoming pre-formed fibrous web 10 smaller or equal to 15% and preferably less than or equal to 12% is.

Wie anhand von Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, ist durch den Preßspalt der Langspaltpresse 20 lediglich das untere Sieb 12 der beiden der Bahnbildungszone zugeordneten Siebe 12, 14 geführt.As can be seen from Figure 1, is through the press nip the extended nip press 20 only the lower screen 12 of the two sieves 12, 14 assigned to the path formation zone.

Die beiden Schuhpreßwalzen 22 und 24 umfassen jeweils ein über einen Preßschuh 30 geführtes flexibles Preßband 32. Dabei ist der Bereich zwischen Preßschuh 30 und flexiblem Preßband 32 jeweils mit Wasser geschmiert. Zudem besitzen die Preßschuhe 30 im vorliegenden Fall jeweils eine zumindest im wesentlichen ebene mantelseitige Preßfläche.The two shoe press rolls 22 and 24 each include one via a press shoe 30 guided flexible press belt 32 is the area between press shoe 30 and flexible press belt 32 each lubricated with water. They also have Press shoes 30 in the present case, at least in each case essentially flat pressing surface on the jacket side.

Die Naßpartie ist in Kombination mit zwei weiteren Pressen 34, 36, von denen die eine, nämlich die Presse 34, eine Langspaltpresse ist, und einer Transferzone 38 für einen Transfer der Faserstoffbahn 10 in die Trockenpartie vorgesehen. Dabei ist die Faserstoffbahn 10 so geführt, daß sich insgesamt eine geschlossene Bahnführung ergibt.The wet end is in combination with two other presses 34, 36, of which one, namely the press 34, one Long nip press, and a transfer zone 38 for one Transfer of the fibrous web 10 into the dryer section is provided. The fibrous web 10 is guided so that overall results in a closed web guide.

Die beiden weiteren Pressen 34, 36 werden im vorliegenden Fall durch eine zentrale Durchbiegungsausgleichswalze 40 mit glattem, d.h. eine geschlossene Oberfläche aufweisenden Walzenmantel und einerseits eine weitere Schuhpreßwalze 42 und andererseits eine weitere Preßwalze 44 gebildet. Die zentrale glatte Durchbiegungsausgleichswalze 40 übernimmt die Faserstoffbahn 10 unmittelbar vom unteren Sieb 12.The two other presses 34, 36 are used in the present Case with a central deflection compensation roller 40 with smooth, i.e. a closed surface having a roller jacket and on the one hand another shoe press roll 42 and on the other hand, a further press roller 44 is formed. The central one smooth deflection compensation roller 40 takes over the fibrous web 10 directly from the lower sieve 12.

Figur 2 zeigt in schematischer Seitenansicht eine weitere Ausführungsform einer Naßpartie, die ebenfalls mit einem in Bahnlaufrichtung verlängerten Preßspalt versehen ist. Der verlängerte Preßspalt ist in diesem Fall zwischen einer Schuhpreßwalze 46 und einer Saugwalze 48 gebildet. Die entsprechend erhaltene Langspaltpresse 50 ist wiederum in einen Bereich vorgesehen, in dem der Trockengehalt der in den Spalt einlaufenden vorgebildeten Faserstoffbahn kleiner oder gleich 15 % und vorzugsweise kleiner oder gleich 12 % ist. Wie der Figur 2 weiter entnommen werden kann, ist durch den Spalt der Langspaltpresse 50 wiederum nur das untere Sieb 12 der beiden der Bahnbildungszone zugeordneten Siebe 12, 14 (vgl. Figur 1) geführt. Die Bahnbildungszone im Bereich der Formierwalze ist in der gleichen Weise wie bei der Ausführungsform der Figur 1 aufgebaut.Figure 2 shows a schematic side view of another Embodiment of a wet end, which also with a Web running direction is extended press nip.

Von dem über die zentrale Saugwalze 48 geführten Band 28 wird die Faserstoffbahn 10 von einer zwischen der Saugwalze 48 und einer weiteren Preßwalze 52 angeordneten weiteren Zentralwalze 54 übernommen, so daß sich im Anschluß an den verlängerten Preßspalt der Langspaltpresse 50 zwei weitere Preßspalte ergeben, bevor die Faserstoffbahn 10 der Trockenpartie zugeführt wird.From the belt 28 guided over the central suction roller 48 the fibrous web 10 from one between the suction roll 48 and a further press roll 52 arranged further central roll 54 taken over, so that following the extended Press nip of the extended nip press 50 result in two further press nips, before the fibrous web 10 is fed to the dryer section becomes.

In Figur 3 ist in schematischer Seitenansicht eine weitere Ausführungsform einer Naßpartie mit einem in Bahnlaufrichtung verlängerten Preßspalt gezeigt. In diesem Fall ist der verlängerte Preßspalt zwischen einer Formierwalze 56 und einer Schuhpreßwalze 22 gebildet, um die wiederum ein Band 26 geführt ist. Um die Formierwalze 56 ist ein der Bahnbildungszone zugeordnetes unteres Sieb 12 geführt. Dabei wird durch den Stoffauflauf 16 dem zwischen dem unteren Sieb 12 und der Formierwalze 56 gebildeten einlaufseitigen Spalt wenigstens ein Fasersuspensionstrom zugeführt, so daß die Faserstoffbahn zwischen dem unteren Sieb 12 und der Formierwalze 56 erzeugt wird.In Figure 3 is another in a schematic side view Embodiment of a wet end with one in the direction of web travel elongated press nip shown. In this case the is extended Press nip between a forming roller 56 and one Shoe press roll 22 is formed, around which in turn a belt 26 is guided is. Around the forming roll 56 is one of the web formation zones assigned lower sieve 12 out. It is by the Headbox 16 between the lower screen 12 and the forming roller 56 formed inlet-side gap at least one Fiber suspension stream fed so that the fibrous web generated between the lower wire 12 and the forming roller 56 becomes.

Von der Formierwalze 56 wird die Faserstoffbahn schließlich von einem um eine Saugwalze 58 geführten Filz 60 übernommen, um anschließend weiteren Preßspalten zugeführt zu werden, die wiederum durch wenigstens eine Langspaltpresse gebildet sein können.The fibrous web is finally from the forming roller 56 taken over by a felt 60 guided around a suction roller 58, to then be fed to further press nips, the again be formed by at least one extended-nip press can.

Die die Schuhpresse 22 umfassende erste Langspaltpresse 62 ist im vorliegenden Fall somit im Bereich der Formierwalze 56 vorgesehen, wobei der betreffende verlängerte Preßspalt zwischen dieser Formierwalze 56 und der Schuhpreßwalze 22 gebildet ist. Auch in diesem Fall ist die Langspaltpresse wieder in einem Bereich angeordnet; in dem der Trockengehalt der in den betreffenden Spalt einlaufenden vorgebildeten Faserstoffbahn kleiner oder gleich 15 % und vorzugsweise kleiner oder gleich 12 % ist. The first long gap press 62 comprising the shoe press 22 in the present case is thus in the area of the forming roller 56 provided, the relevant extended nip between this forming roller 56 and the shoe press roller 22 are formed is. In this case too, the extended nip press is again arranged in one area; in which the dryness of the in the pre-formed fibrous web entering the relevant gap less than or equal to 15% and preferably less than or is equal to 12%.

Figur 4 zeigt eine schematische Seitenansicht einer weiteren Ausführungsform einer Naßpresse mit einem zusätzlich mit Verdünnungswasser gespeisten Stoffauflauf 16.Figure 4 shows a schematic side view of another Embodiment of a wet press with an additional dilution water fed headbox 16.

Im vorliegenden Fall liegt die Formierwalze 18 in der Schleife des oberen Siebes 14, während das untere Sieb 12 über diese von dem Sieb 14 umschlungene Formierwalze 18 geführt ist. Im Anschluß an die Formierwalze 18 ist das Sieb 12 um eine Saugwalze 64 geführt, um anschließend die vorgebildete Faserstoffbahn 10 dem ersten, durch die Langspaltpresse 20 gebildeten verlängerten Preßspalt zuzuführen.In the present case, the forming roller 18 lies in the loop of the upper sieve 14, while the lower sieve 12 over this of the screen 14 wrapped forming roller 18 is guided. Following the forming roller 18, the screen 12 is one Suction roller 64 guided to the preformed fibrous web 10 the first, formed by the extended nip press 20 to supply extended press nip.

Im übrigen besitzt diese Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 4 im wesentlichen den gleichen Aufbau wie die in Figur 1 gezeigte Naßpartie. So ist auch in diesem Fall lediglich das untere Sieb 12 der beiden der Bahnbildungszone zugeordneten Siebe 12, 14 durch den ersten verlängerten Preßspalt geführt. Auch hier der betreffende in Bahnlaufrichtung verlängerte Preßspalt wieder in einem Bereich vorgesehen, in dem der Trockengehalt der in den Spalt einlaufenden vorgebildeten Faserstoffbahn kleiner oder gleich 15 % und vorzugsweise kleiner oder gleich 12 % ist.Otherwise, this embodiment according to FIG. 4 essentially has the same structure as that shown in Figure 1 Wet end. In this case too, only the bottom is Screen 12 of the two screens assigned to the web formation zone 12, 14 passed through the first extended press nip. Also here the relevant press nip extended in the direction of web travel again provided in an area where the dryness the preformed fibrous web entering the gap less than or equal to 15% and preferably less or is equal to 12%.

Figur 5 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform mit einer separaten Schuhpresse 66 vor Abnahme in Pressenpartie. Figure 5 shows a further embodiment with a separate Shoe press 66 before acceptance in the press section.
