Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paper machine for manufacturing a structured fibrous web of soft paper, comprising:
  • a wet section including a headbox, a forming roll, and inner and outer clothings, which run around the forming roll and between which the fibrous web is formed;
  • a press section including at least one press, having two cooperating press members, one of which being a counter roll, defining a press nip between them, a smooth impermeable belt, and a press felt, wherein the smooth impermeable belt and the press felt run through the press nip with the fibrous web enclosed therebetween;
  • a drying section including a drying cylinder and a transfer roll which, together with the drying cylinder, defines a transfer nip for transfer of the fibrous web to the drying cylinder; and - an endless clothing running in a loop around a suction device, located close to the smooth belt for the creation of a transfer point, and around the transfer roll that defines a nip together with the drying cylinder, which clothing carries the fibrous web from the smooth belt to the drying cylinder.
  • Paper machines for manufacturing soft paper with high bulk are known through a number of patent specifications.
  • a texturing wire or a texturing felt is used, which, together with the formed paper web runs through a press nip, in which the paper web is pressed into the texturing wire and thus acquires a textured pattern on one of its sides.
  • Paper machines with such texturing wires and press nips are described in US-3 , 301, 746, US-3, 537, 954, US-4 , 309 , 246 , US-4 , 533 , 37 , US-5 , 569 , 358 , US-5,591,305 and WO 91/16493 (corresponding to SE-466 063) .
  • the disadvantage with paper machines in accordance with these specifications is that the dewatering in the press nip is relatively low, so that the dry solids content of the paper web is low when the paper web is transferred to the drying cylinder, which results in the output of the paper machine being relatively low.
  • US-4, 849, 054 describes a machine for manufacturing a textured fibrous web with high bulk, where the fibrous web is pressed in a single-clothed roller press having a transfer roll, which, together with a texturing wire, defines a nip at a transfer point for the web.
  • the texturing wire runs around a stationary suction pipe, which has a slot opening facing the nip, which is so wide that the fibrous web is not compressed when it runs through it .
  • the fibrous web is transferred to the texturing wire and formed in accordance with the surface of the texturing wire facing the fibrous web, which surface has a three-dimensional pattern.
  • the fibrous web Before the transfer point, the fibrous web has a speed which is greater than the speed of the texturing wire.
  • the roller that carries the fibrous web up to the non-compressing nip has a smooth surface and it is well known that, in practice, there are problems associated with transferring a fibrous web that has been pre-pressed to a dry solids content of 30-50 per cent from a smooth surface to a wire and retaining it on the wire. If the suction, for any reason, were to stop or be reduced, the fibrous web would continue with the smooth roller, which might result in shut-down and damage to the machine.
  • the wave shape limited to one surface, will completely or mainly be destroyed during the subsequent contacts with different elements, such as drying cylinders and felts, although the stretchability achieved in the fibrous web is retained. In this case also, there are problems associated with transferring the fibrous web to and retaining it on the wire .
  • US-5,411,636 describes the manufacture of soft paper, where the paper web is formed on a forming wire, pre-pressed in a double-felted press nip and transferred to a coarse-meshed wire.
  • the paper web while being carried by the coarse-meshed wire, is subjected to a vacuum in a suction zone so that the paper web is drawn into the openings and depressions of the wire so that the paper web acquires an increased thickness and, thus, increased bulk.
  • the coarse-meshed wire then carries the paper web to the drying cylinder.
  • the double-felted press nip results in the dry solids content of the paper web after the press nip being relatively low, namely 25-30 per cent.
  • the dry solids content of the paper web when it is transferred to the drying cylinder is correspondingly low. Furthermore, it is extremely doubtful that the paper web really is transferred from the felt to the coarse-meshed wire.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved paper machine, with which it is possible, without through-blow drying, to re-create at least an essential part of the bulk reduction, which the paper web is subjected to by compression in a roll-press or shoe-press nip, and to manufacture a fibrous web with high bulk and a high dry solids content before the drying cylinder so as to achieve high production at a reasonable cost .
  • the paper machine in accordance with the invention is characterized in that structuring means for structuring the fibrous web are arranged at at least one point downstream of the press section and upstream of the drying section, which structuring means comprise either (A) said clothing, which runs around the transfer roll, in the shape of a permeable wire with a web-contacting structured side, the structure of which is made up of depressions and arched surface parts situated therebetween, said arched surface parts including knuckles in a quantity of 25-150 knuckles per cm 2 , and a suction device that is designed to operate at a vacuum of 40-80 kPa and that is arranged in the loop of the wire and with which the wire is in slidable contact with its side facing away from the web-contacting structured side, the suction device being designed to draw the fibrous web into intimate contact with the structured side of the wire so that the fibrous web is deflecting into said depressions and assumes the structure of the wire, wherein the clothing which carries the structured fibrous web to the drying cylinder, is

  • Each of the paper machines comprises a wet section 2, a press section 3 and a drying section 4.
  • the wet section 2 comprises a headbox 7, a forming roll 8, an endless carrying inner clothing 9 and an endless covering outer clothing 10 consisting of a forming wire.
  • the inner and outer clothings 9 and 10 run i separate loops around several guide rolls 11 and 12 respectively.
  • the drying section 4 comprises a drying cylinder 5, which is covered by a hood 30.
  • the drying cylinder is suitably a Yankee cylinder.
  • the press section 3 comprises a press, which has two cooperating first and second press members 14 and 19, which press members 14 and 19 together define a press nip. Further, the press section comprises an endless press felt 15, which runs in a loop around the first press member 14 and guide rolls 6, and an endless impermeable belt 16, which has a smooth surface facing the fibrous web. The smooth impermeable belt 16 runs in a loop around the second press member 19 and a plurality of guide rolls 18.
  • the press is a shoe press, the first and second press members of which consist of a shoe press roll 14 and a counter roll 19.
  • the shoe press roll 14 and the counter roll 19 define between them an extended press nip.
  • the press is a roll press, the first and second press members of which consist of a suction roll 14 and a smooth roll 19.
  • the press section has two presses, namely the aforementioned roll press, followed by a shoe press, comprising a shoe press roll 32 and a counter roll 33, which together define an extended press nip.
  • the clothings of the shoe press may preferably be the same as the clothings 15 and 16 of the roll press, that is to say that the press felt 15 and the impermeable belt 16 run through the extended press nip in the shoe press.
  • the shoe press roll 32 is arranged in the loop of the press felt 15, which loop comprises a side loop part 34, which runs to an extended suction zone around the suction roll 14 and around guide rolls 37 and then to the extended press nip. Thus rewetting of the fibrous web is prevented and water is removed from the press felt 15.
  • the counter roll 33 is arranged in the loop of the impermeable belt 16. In the embodiment shown in Figure 9 the same counter roll is used for the two press nips.

  • An endless clothing 22 is arranged to run in a loop around a suction device 23, located adjacent to the smooth belt 16 to define a transfer point 40 for transfer of the fibrous web from the smooth belt 16 to the clothing 22.
  • the suction device 23 forms a suction zone 41, designed to enable the suction attachment of the fibrous web and its continued adherence to the clothing 22 as desired.
  • the clothing 22 runs around a transfer roll 24, which defines a non-compressing nip with the drying cylinder 5 for transfer of the paper web from the clothing 22 to the drying cylinder 5.
  • said suction device 23 is a suction roll, with which the smooth belt 16 defines a non-compressing nip, wherein the suction zone 41 encompasses a sector angle sufficient to secure the transfer of the fibrous web from the smooth belt 16 to the clothing 22.
  • the suction device is a suction shoe.
  • the suction shoe 23 and the smooth belt 16 are arranged so close to each other that a non-compressing nip is defined between the clothing 22 and the belt 16.

  • said structuring means comprise said clothing 22, that is in the shape of a wire, and a powerful suction device 25.
  • Figure 6 shows an enlargement of a cut-out surface section of the wire 22, where the machine direction is indicated by an arrow.
  • the wire 22 has a web-contacting side with a structure that is made up of depressions 35 and arched or convex surface parts 36 situated therebetween. The depressions 35 are through-going such that air can be sucked through the wire 22 to the desired extent.
  • the depressions 35 and the arched surface parts 36 are in turn made up of the strands of the wire 22 running longitudinally and transversely as seen in the machine direction, the longitudinal strands exhibiting oblong arc-shaped ridges 36a and the transverse strands exhibiting knuckles 36b, which knuckles produce bowl -shaped pits in the fibrous web during the structuring process.
  • the wire has 100 knuckles 36b per cm 2 . Generally, it may exhibit 25-150 knuckles per cm 2 , preferably 50-100 knuckles per cm 2 .
  • the powerful suction device mentioned is placed in the loop of the wire 22 upstream of the transfer roll 24 in sliding contact with the wire.
  • the powerful suction device which may consist of one or several suction boxes, operates at a high vacuum, which acts on the inside of the permeable wire.
  • a suitable vacuum is within the range 40-80 kPa.
  • the fibrous web passes the powerful suction device together with the wire, the fibrous web is deflecting into the depressions of the wire 22, whereby the fibrous web will assume the structure of the wire as an impression.

It will be apparent that a greater difference in speed between the wire and the belt will result in augmented fine crinkling. Micro-creping is also obtained in the embodiment shown in Figures 7 and 8 when the web passes the non-compressing nip, which lacks a suction zone, since the clothing 22 operates at a lower speed than the belt 16 to achieve creping when the web is loosed from the belt by the creping doctor.
