Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for forming a multilayered paper or paperboard from stock suspensions with papermaking fibres and fines, said arrangement including at least a first and a second forming unit, at least one of the forming units being of twin wire type and having a forming roll for forming a fibrous web having a higher content of fines at one side than at the other, and a couch device for couching together said fibrous web having a higher content of fines at one side with an other fibrous web to form the multilayered web.
  • the invention relates to a method of a multilayered paper or paperboard web from stock suspensions with papermaking fibres and fines, said method including the steps of:
  • the invention is particularly advantageously implemented when forming testliner, fluting, liner, white-top liner, gypsum board liner, and paperboard based on recycled pulp fibres.
  • the invention also can be implemented when forming other paper or paperboard webs.
  • bottom layer and top layer(s) for example in so-called fourdrinier forming units, or alternatively in twin-wire forming units of a paper or paperboard machine, in order to subsequently couch the layers together into a coherent web, which is pressed in a press section and dried in a drying section.
  • top and bottom layers in fourdrinier forming units, as a rule, results in a finished product with a higher internal bond strength, i.e. bond strength between the layers, than what is achievable if the top and bottom layers are formed in twin-wire forming units.
  • the patent publication DE 2 020 688 discloses a method for joining two webs of paper, paperboard or the like, more specifically a couching method, and a device for implementing the method.
  • the method comprises that the two webs run in the same direction during their manufacture and are joined in a such a way that the wire-side of the secondary web comes to rest on the top side of the primary web.
  • the device disclosed in DE 2 020 688 comprises a movable long wire (fourdrinier) as a primary wire, and at least one wire arranged in circulation above the long wire as a secondary wire.
  • each wire runs in the opposite direction in relation to the long wire, wherein each wire in circulation has been supplied with a transfer roll which is arranged so that it contacts the wire in circulation on an outer side and the long wire on its top side.
  • the patent publication DE 40 31 038 A 1 discloses a device for manufacturing a multilayer paper or multilayer paperboard by means of a primary wire, and a secondary wire arranged above this as twin-wire forming unit, which forms a top layer of the multilayer paper or paperboard onto a bottom layer.
  • the twin-wire forming unit has a forming roll as a breast roll for configurating the twin-wires.
  • a pressure application unit is arranged, wherein the waterline of the pulp suspension is within the region of the forming roll.
  • the disclosed device makes it possible to obtain a higher internal bond strength, since the dry content of the top layer is relatively low when the couching to the bottom layer takes place.
  • each twin-wire forming unit consists of a headbox, two wire loops arranged to define a common wire path for molding the web being formed in a sandwich-like manner, and drainage elements for each of the wire loops.
  • the common wire path of each forming unit has a first section including a curved suction drainage element or roll in the first lower wire loop, and a second section including opposing drainage ledges. Thereby, the drainage ledges are stationary at the upper side and designed to be resiliently pressable on the bottom side.
  • the drainage ledges of the upper and lower sides are arranged staggered with respect to each other in the direction of travel of the wire, wherein at least the ledges of the upper side are designed for suction. Furthermore, there is at least one third section which has at least one suction wire-separating element on one side.
  • the twin-wire forming units are arranged so that the same drainage elements are associated in each case with what will be the inner and the outer sides of each layer in the multilayer web. According to US 5,607,555, a very uniform paper is obtained in this way. Furthermore, it is reported that the contents of filler and/or fines can be displaced towards the outsides of the layers of the paper web by means of arranging the drainage ledges in a suitable way, depending on the prevailing requirements. As a result of this, a larger number of fibres are believed to be present on the two sides of the layers which rest against each other, wherein a better adhesion between the layers is obtained when they have been couched together.
  • a first object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement for forming a multilayered paper or paperboard web, which arrangement maximises the amount of fines which is retained when forming the layers included in the web, and ensures that those sides of the layers which have the highest content of fines are couched together with each other, so that the multilayered paper or paperboard web obtains a raised internal bond strength.
  • both of the forming units are of twin wire type and include a forming roll for forming a fibrous web having a higher content of fines at one side than at the other, and that the two forming are so arranged relative to each other as to place the web sides having the highest content of fines in contact with each other for couching together to form the multilayered web.
  • the forming rolls are open and adapted for making the content of fines in the fibre webs higher at the inner-wire side than at the outer wire-side during the initial dewatering, wherein the additional drainage members are adapted for maintaining the content of fines at least substantially unchanged at a high level at the inner-wire side during the continued dewatering, and the forming units are designed and arranged in relation to each other so that the two formed fibre webs are joined with the inner-wire sides against each other.
  • a second object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a multilayered paper or paperboard web which method maximises the amount of fines that is retained when forming the layers included in the web, and ensures that those sides of the layers that have the highest content of fines are couched together with each other, so that the multilayer paper or paperboard web obtains a raised internal bond strength.
  • this second object of the present invention is achieved by:
  • the method additionally includes the steps of chosing open forming rolls for the initial dewatering, adapting them so that the content of fines in the fibrous webs becomes at least as high at the inner wire side as at the outer wire side during the initial dewatering, adapting the additional drainage members so that the content of fines will be maintained at least substantially unchanged at a high level at the inner wire side during ghe continued dewatering, and joining the two formed fibrous webs with the inner wire sides against each other.
  • open forming rolls means that a two-sided dewatering on the forming rolls, if possible, is accomplished without the application of any external suction.
  • open forming rolls is also intended to include embodiments of the invention where a suction forming roll with a low, or at the most, a moderate negative pressure is utilised in order to prevent all dewatering from taking place through the outer-wire at high wire speeds, but in which embodiments the main drainage impulse still is generated by the wire tension during the passage of the wires over the curved peripheral surface of the forming roll.
  • the arrangement according to the invention comprises a first 101; 201; 301; 401and a second forming unit 102; 202; 302; 402, wherein each forming unit is of a twin-wire type and has a forming roll 109; 209; 309; 409 and 111; 211; 311; 411, and an inner-wire 105; 205; 305; 405 and 107; 207; 307; 407 and an outer-wire 106; 206; 306; 406 and 108; 208; 308; 408 enclosing a portion of the circumference of each respective forming roll and thereby forming an initial, curved section of a forming zone for an initial dewatering and forming of a fibre web A and B, having an inner-wire side x and z supported by the inner-wire and an outer-wire side y and w supported by the outer-wire.
  • the curved section is followed by a section with additional drainage members 110; 210; 310; 410 and 112; 212; 312; 412 for a continued dewatering of the formed fibre web A and B, wherein vacuum transfer means 113, 114, 115; 213, 214, 215; 313, 314, 315, 327; 413, 414, 415, 427 are arranged for joining the fibre webs A, B in order to form a multilayered fibre web C, which is intended to be included in or to constitute the multilayered paper or paperboard web D after pressing and drying.
  • the forming rolls 109, 111; 209, 211; 309,311; 409, 411 are open, and adapted to make the content of fines in the fibre webs A, B higher at the inner-wire side x and z than at the outer-wire side y and w during the initial dewatering, while the additional drainage members 110, 112; 210, 212; 310, 312; 410, 412 are adapted for maintaining the content of fines at least substantially unchanged at a high level at the inner-wire side x and z during the continued dewatering, and the forming units 101; 201; 301; 401 and 102; 202; 302; 402 are designed and arranged in relation to each other so that the two formed fibre webs A, B are joined with the inner-wire sides x and z against each other.
  • the above-mentioned open forming rolls of the arrangement according to the invention are adapted in order to provide a "gentle" dewatering, substantially without any shear forces, contrary to what is the case with vacuum or suction forming rolls of arrangements according to prior art, and enabling a high proportion of the supplied fines in the pulp suspensions to remain in the suspensions all the way to the continued dewatering.
  • a certain redistribution of the fines in a direction towards the forming rolls can occur in the pulp suspensions.
  • the specially adapted additional drainage members of the arrangement according to the invention do not comprise any elements at the inner-wire sides which generate high shear forces, such as drainage foils and the like. This is the reason why the main proportion of the fines are retained at the inner-wire sides also during the continued dewatering. During the continued dewatering, a minor portion of the fines can be suctioned out from the pulp suspensions on the side, i.e. the outer-wire side, where the additional drainage members preferably all are arranged in the arrangement according to the invention.
  • the arrangement according to the invention maximises the quantity of fines which is retained when forming the layers included in the web, and ensures that those sides of the layers which have the highest content of fines, i.e. the inner-wire sides, are couched together with each other so that the resulting multilayered paper or paperboard web obtains an increased internal bond strength in comparison to paper or paperboard webs which have been formed in arrangements according to prior art.
