The machine is configured for at least one of manufacturing and treating the material web. The apparatus includes two separation elements configured for splitting and thereby separating the material web into an edge strip, an adjoining transfer strip and a remaining web adjoining the transfer strip, the edge strip extending in the web running direction. The apparatus further includes at least one deflection device configured for deflecting the edge strip away from the transfer strip and simultaneously tautening the edge strip upon deflection thereof.

Description

The invention relates to a method for transferring a flexible material web, in particular paper or board web, from a preceding one to at least one subsequent section of the manufacture and / or treatment of the material web serving machine, in particular Paper machine, in which the material web by means of two separating elements in an extending in the direction of web travel edge strip, a adjoining transfer strip as well as to these transfer strips adjoining residual track is parted. It further relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 26.

In one known from WO 98/33974 process of the aforementioned Art is used to transfer the paper or board web, etc. from End of the dryer section of a paper machine to subsequent machine sections or sections, such as e.g. Calender, wrapping apparatus, etc., at the end of the dryer section a narrow strip (transfer strip) cut the paper web. While the remaining, neighboring sections the web led straight into a pulper or rejects dissolver be the strip by means such as cable guides, Transfer belts, etc. transferred to the following machine sections.

However, this results in a relatively unstable run of the strip the subsequent machine sections, resulting in time-consuming and expensive Can lead web breaks.

If the transfer strip formed from the edge strip, so there is the Danger that its course by the air movements in the stool area, e.g. in the machine section of a winding apparatus, is disturbed.

The aim of the invention is a method and an apparatus of the initially to create type mentioned, in which the aforementioned disadvantages are eliminated and in a simple and reliable way possible fast, safe transfer of the web is guaranteed. moreover should the safest possible separation of the transfer strip of the remaining material web and a stable as possible run of herausgeschennten Transfer strip to the machine element at the end of Be ensured transfer path.

With regard to the method, this object is achieved according to the invention solved that the edge strip laterally deflected away from the transfer strip and streamlined at the same time.

Because of this training is in a simple and reliable way ensured fast and safe transfer of the web. there is over the entire transfer path away a very stable run of the Transfer strip guaranteed. It also prevents during the transfer process of the edge strip runs with the transfer strip, which has led to breaks so far. The edge strip can in particular be passed in a pulper or reject container.

The deflection of the edge strip is preferably carried out by means of at least an air jet.

According to an expedient embodiment of the method according to the invention First of all, it will be the one closest to the respective web edge Separator activated to create the edge strip, and then with already streamlined and deflected edge strip the other Separator activated to create the transfer strip.

After transfer of the transfer strip to at least one subsequent Machine section can continue from the relevant web edge moved away separating element to the opposite edge of the web to separate the residual track. Accordingly, this can be the subject Bahnrand nearest separating element to the relevant Bahnrand are moved to separate the edge strip.

In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention The transfer strip is initially at a smaller distance to the relevant Web edge generated and the distance from the web edge then by appropriate method of the separating elements in the transverse direction increased. Here, the maximum distance of the transfer strip to web edge concerned preferably smaller than the distance to the opposite Web edge. Accordingly, the transfer strip by a method of the separating elements in the transverse direction with respect to wenigstets positioned accordingly in a subsequent machine section become. The positioning of the transfer strip can be so in particular take place that this in the relevant subsequent machine section finally detected in its entire width. So can easy on and reliably ensure, for example, that the Transfer strip in its entire width from a respective nip, e.g. Winding gap or the like. Is detected.

Accordingly, there is in particular the possibility that the transfer strip for its transfer into at least a first machine section first generated at a smaller distance to the respective web edge and the distance from the web edge then to the transfer in at least another machine section by appropriate method of Dividing elements in the transverse direction is increased.

By a corresponding method of the separating elements in the transverse direction can also set the particular desired width of the transfer strip become.

Appropriately, as a separating element in each case a non-contact Separating element, in particular high pressure water jet or laser beam separating element, or a mechanical cutting element, in particular Knife or circular knife element used.

When using non-contact separating elements in one Paper machine, it is advantageous if the separation process on the last Drying cylinder takes place. Be used as separating elements mechanically working Used cutting elements, the separation process is preferably carried out in an unsupported train of material web.

The material web is expediently at the beginning of the separation process led into the pulper or Committee container.

In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention It is envisaged that both separating elements recognized within the material web be and within this material web with the Separation is started. Alternatively, it is also possible, at least to activate a separating element already outside the material web.

The edge strip and the rest of the web are preferred until broad travel directed into the pulper or waste container.

The transfer strip can have at least one auxiliary transfer device, in particular cable guide, transfer belt, air guide device and / or the like., Are transferred to the subsequent machine section.

The edge strip is expediently produced with a width which in a range of about 50 mm to about 300 mm, and preferably in a range of about 50 mm to about 250 mm.

The transfer strip is expediently produced with a width that in a range of about 50 mm to about 400 mm, and preferably in a range of about 50 mm to about 200 mm.

According to a preferred practical embodiment of the transfer strip produced so that the closest to the respective web edge located edge to the edge of the chair or the cable guides a distance which is greater than about 150 mm. The distance can be in particular in a range of about 150 mm to about 1000 mm.

The device according to the invention is accordingly characterized that means are provided to the edge strip laterally from To deflect transfer strips away and at the same time to tighten.

Preferred embodiments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

The inventive method and the inventive device For example, when transferring from the dryer section to a winding apparatus, from the dryer section to a calender and about this to a winding apparatus, from the dryer section to a Coater, size press, and / or the like, or e.g. also at one Transfer starting from a Trockenpartieabschnitt or a Pre-drying section can be used. The transfer can in particular in the edge area, e.g. on the leader page of the paper machine. The transfer strip is advantageously from one of the strangulation cut more distant area of the web. It is, however advantageous if the distance is not too large, so that in the case of a demolition the accessibility to reject the reject is given.

By appropriate method of the separating elements, it is possible to Transfer strips in each machine section at an optimal distance lead to the edge of the track. For example, if a transfer of the Drying section via an on-line calender to a winding apparatus, so The transfer strip can initially move over the calender be cut in a smaller distance to the web edge, as the Transfer strips, for example, using transfer ropes, etc. on the calender can be performed. In the next step then the Distance of the transfer strip to the web edge by a corresponding Procedure of the separating element pair are increased to optimal conditions especially in the area of the winding nip on the winding apparatus achieve. This improves the running safety of the transfer strip. It is essential here that the transfer strip at least on his entire width is detected by the winding nip.

Particularly advantageous, the invention is especially in such a Operating state applicable, in which in a winding apparatus instead an empty brew a paper already partly wrapped with paper Tambour is provided. This situation is, for example, a paper web break encountered. To ensure that for a safe Transfer the full width of the transfer strip detected by the winding nip is that of the carrier drum and the paper layers of the partially verwikelten Tambours is formed, the transfer strip must be in the appropriate Position are brought, which according to the invention by a corresponding Moving the pair of separators to simple and reliable Way is possible. The respective position depends on the paper format, i.e. the width of the produced paper web. This is back from the type of paper produced and the customer's wishes

a purely schematic partial view of a device for transferring a paper or board web from the last drying cylinder to a calender and this to a winding apparatus, wherein the transfer strip is guided to the winding apparatus and a Tambourwechsel is present, ie the web is transferred to a blank drum, and

Fig. 2

a representation comparable to Fig. 1, but with a web break is present and the paper or board web is transferred accordingly to an already partially wound reel.

The device shown in the two FIGS. 1 and 2 serves to transfer a flexible material web, here for example a paper or Cardboard web 10, from a preceding machine section, here for example a drying section 12, at least one subsequent Section, here for example a calender 14 and a following Winding apparatus 16, one of the production and / or treatment of the web serving machine, i. in the present case a paper machine 18th

In this case, the material web 10 by means of two separating elements 20, 22 in a in the web running direction L extending edge strip 24, a adjoining transfer strip 26 and the at this transfer strip 26 adjoining residual track 28 parts.

As the two Figs. 1 and 2 can be seen, is the edge strip 24 laterally deflected away from the transfer strip 26. This will be this Edge strips 24 simultaneously tightened, which for example by means of a Air jet can take place. This edge strip 24 is then in a committee container or pulper 30 passed.

Preferably, first, the respective web edge 32 closest activated separating element 20 to produce the edge strip 24, and then with already streamlined and deflected Edge strip 30, the other separating element 22 is activated to the transfer strip 26 to produce.

After transfer of the transfer strip 26 to at least one Subsequent machine section 14, 16 is that of the respective web edge 32 farther separating element 22 to the opposite edge of the web 34 process to separate the residual web 28.

After transfer of the transfer strip 26 to at least one Subsequent machine section 14, 16 becomes the web edge in question 32 closest separating element 20 to the respective web edge 32 method to separate the edge strip 24.

At least at the beginning of the transfer operation of the transfer strip 26th generated so that the respective web edge 32 nearest Edge 36 at a smaller distance A1 to the respective web edge 32 and correspondingly at a smaller distance B1 to the edge of the chair 40 has.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, in which the material web 10 finally on a spool 38 of the winding apparatus 16th is transferred, it preferably remains at this smaller distance of Transfer strip 26 to the web edge 32 and the edge of the chair 40th

In contrast, the transfer strip 26 for the transfer of the material web 10th to an already partially wound drum 38 '(see Fig. 2) first at a smaller distance A1 to the respective web edge 32 or in one smaller distance B 1 to the edge of the stool 40 generated (see Fig. 1) and the distance from the edge of the web 32 or from the edge of the chair 40 thereafter by appropriate method of the separating elements 20, 22 in the transverse direction for example, increased to a value A2 or B2. It is also the greater distance A2 of the transfer strip 26 to the web edge 32 still smaller than the distance to the opposite web edge 34th

The transfer strip 26 can thus by a method of separating elements 20, 22 in the transverse direction, for example, with respect to between the Tambour 38 and a carrier drum 39 formed winding nip 42 of the Winding apparatus 16 are positioned in the desired manner. there In particular, the transfer strip 26 can be positioned so that this in the relevant subsequent machine section, here in the Winding apparatus 16, is finally detected in its entire width.

As a separating element 20, 22 can each, for example, a contactless working separating element, in particular water jet or laser beam separating element, or a mechanical cutting element, in particular knife or circular knife element. Become contactless working separating elements 20, 22 used, the separation process takes place expediently on the last drying cylinder 44 of the dryer section 12. Are used as separating elements 20, 22 mechanically operating cutting elements used, the separation process is carried out expediently in one unsupported train of material web 10th

Before the separation process, the material web 10 is in the pulper 30th guided. It is by a (not shown) scraper from the surface scraped off the drying cylinder 44. To be wide also the edge strip 24 and the residual web 28 passed into the pulper 30.

The edge strip 24 can be produced, for example, with a width, in a range of about 50 mm to about 300 mm, and preferably in a range of about 50 mm to about 250 mm. The transfer strip For example, 26 is generated with a width that is in one range from about 50 mm to about 400 mm, and preferably in one area from about 50 mm to about 200 mm.

In this case, the transfer strip 26 is expediently generated so that its edge 36 closest to the edge of the web 32 to the edge of the chair 40 has a distance B1, B2 that is in a range of about 150 mm to about 1000 mm.
