  • the pre-calender can be a hard nip calender, a soft calender or an extended nip calender. Relatively low linear loads are used in the pre-calender, for example, below 80 kN/m.
  • Pre-coating can be accomplished by means of a film transfer coating device marketed under the name SymSizer or OptiSizer.
  • SymSizer or OptiSizer.
  • the function of pre-coating is to make the pores in the surface structure of the base paper smaller in a suitable manner in order that the actual surface coating shall remain on the surface and is not absorbed into the structure of the paper.
  • a suitable coating station for example, a blade coater, a coating device of the jet or spray type, advantageously a coating device marketed under the name OptiCoat Jet.
  • a suitable coating station for example, a blade coater, a coating device of the jet or spray type, advantageously a coating device marketed under the name OptiCoat Jet.
  • the paper machine in question is thus a paper machine in which coating is accomplished twice.
  • FI patent 104100 discloses an integrated paper machine.
  • the paper machine comprises, in the running direction of the web, a multi-layer headbox, a gap former having at least one pre-press, a press section having at least one extended nip press, a pre-dryer section in which the web is dried by a high-capacity drying unit, a dryer section comprising at least one drying group that applies single-wire draw, and a surface treatment device for the web.
  • the paper machine has a closed draw at least to the end of the dryer section.
  • the surface treatment device may be formed of a pre-calender, which is provided between a drying cylinder and a roll.
  • FI patent application 981331 discloses a method and a paper machine for the manufacture of paper.
  • the method and the paper machine are most suitable for the manufacture of glossy and porous paper for colour powder printing.
  • the paper machine comprises a headbox, a wire section, a press section, a dryer section, a coating section, an after-dryer section, a calender, and a reel-up.
  • the headbox and the wire section are designed such that paper is provided with a desired composition layering in the z-direction and that the calender is a calender device that maintains or at least substantially preserves the porosity of the paper web existing before calendering.
  • LWC printing paper Light Weight Coated
  • a printing paper the basis weight of which is in a range of 35-70 g/m 2 and in which the basis weight of the coating is in a range of 2-12 g/m 2 /side.
  • Each side of the base paper is coated once.
  • the base paper is subjected to light pre-calendering after the dryer section before coating.
  • the pre-calendering according to the state of the art is carried out by a one-nip machine calender such that the thermo roll temperature is in a range of 60-100 °C and the linear load is in a range of 10-80 kN/m.
  • Pre-calendering is performed in the state-of-the-art arrangements with low linear loads in order not to lose too much bulk in pre-calendering.
  • This kind of state-of-the-art light pre-calendering provides base paper having a PPS-s10 smoothness in a range of 4-5.7 ⁇ m, Cobb-Unger oil absorption in a range of 13-26 g/m 2 and bulk in a range of 1.7-1.9 cm 3 /g.
  • LWCO printing paper Light Weight Coated Offset
  • LWCR printing paper Light Weight Coated Rotogravure
  • the film coating method as well as the non-contact coating methods do not cover the uneven surface structure of the base paper in single coating, but this uneven surface structure of the base paper is also visible in the surface structure of the coated paper.
  • LWCR printing paper manufactured out of state-of-the-art base paper must be made by a blade coating method, whereby the uneven surface structure of the base paper is covered in coating and the finished coated paper attains the surface properties required from LWCR printing paper.
  • the blade coating method in turn requires that the base paper contains at least 40-50 % chemical pulp and that there is hardly any recycled fibres in the base paper.
  • the above-mentioned amount of chemical pulp provides the base paper with the strength required in blade coating.
  • the blade coating method limits the speed of the paper machine in on-line coating to a value of about 1800 m/min.
  • the film coating method is, by a rough estimate, about 5 % more efficient than the blade coating method and since the film coating method does not impose limitations on the speed of the machine in on-line coating, it would be desirable to replace the blade coating method with a film coating method or with a non-contact coating method also in the manufacture of LWCR printing paper.
  • the PPS-s10 roughness of the base paper shall be below 3.5 ⁇ m and its Cobb-Unger oil absorption shall be below 15 g/m 2 .
  • a reduction in roughness and oil absorbency in turn requires more efficient precalendering, with the result that the base paper is densified and some bulk is lost.
  • the loss of bulk of the base paper has been thought to also lead to a loss of bulk of equal magnitude in the coated end product and thus, in the opinion of the person skilled in the art, the manufacture of LWCR printing paper has not been possible by using a film coating method or a non-contact coating method.
  • Document WO-A-0238858 shows a method for making coated fine paper, wherein the paper stock is fed from a headbox to a wire section and the paper web is passed to a press section, dried in a dryer section, precalendered and coated in a coating station, dried in a further dryer section and calendered in a final calender.
  • document WO-A-0055424 is directed to a method for manufacturing coated paper, wherein pre-calendering and successive coating using a film transfer coating is effected to produce a paper of a quality corresponding to LWC paper.
  • document WO-A-0198585 shows a calendering method for pre-calendering a paper web, in particular LWC-base paper, before coating using film coating.
  • Document WO-A-0070144 shows a complete process for manufacturing fine paper.
  • the arrangement in accordance with the invention employs a film coating method or a non-contact coating method and reinforced pre-calendering.
  • the reinforced pre-calendering in accordance with the invention provides a base paper out of which it is possible to manufacture LWCR printing paper using a film coating method or a non-contact coating method.
  • the reinforced pre-calendering in accordance with the invention is based on the gradient calendering principle known per se, in which the surfaces of the web are densified and the middle part of the web remains bulky.
  • the surface temperature of the web can be raised above the glass transition temperature of fibres, which is dependent on the moisture of the fibres.
  • the intention is to bring the surface of the web into a state in which the plastic deformation of the fibres is permanent.
  • the fibres in the surface of the web do not return to their original round shape and position in the treatment stages which take place subsequent to pre-calendering and increase the moisture content of the surface of the web.
  • the relaxation of fibres, i.e. return to the original form causes non-desirable re-roughening of the web surface.
  • the thermal effect of the pre-calender thermo roll By the thermal effect of the pre-calender thermo roll, the surface of the web lying against the thermo roll is closed.
  • the pre-calender also improves the smoothness of the surfaces of the web and attaches loose fibres or other stock components to the surface of the web.
  • the pre-calender also makes it possible to correct the two-sidedness associated with the smoothness and oil absorbency of the web. This can be done in a pre-calender provided with two nips by regulation of the moisture content of the web and/or by regulation of the temperatures of the thermo rolls. In each pre-calendering nip, the calendering effect is strongest on the surface of the web lying against the thermo roll.
  • the calendering effect of the second pre-calendering nip is smaller than that of the first one if the same temperatures are used in the thermo rolls.
  • the calendering effect of the second pre-calendering nip can be enhanced by moisturizing the web between the pre-calendering nips.
  • the calendering effect of the second pre-calendering nip can also be enhanced by using a higher temperature in the second pre-calendering nip than in the first pre-calendering nip.
  • the magnitude of the linear load used in each pre-calendering nip also has an effect on the calendering efficiency of said nip.
  • the film coating method or the non-contact coating method used in the arrangement in accordance with the invention makes it possible to drop the proportion of chemical pulp below 30 %.
  • the film coating method and the non-contact coating method do not require the same strength from the base paper as the blade coating method.
  • the proportion of mechanical pulp can in turn be raised to at least 70 %.
  • recycled fibres can be used in the pulp, in which connection the chemical fibres contained in the recycled fibres are included in the above-mentioned proportion of chemical pulp and the mechanical fibres contained in the recycled fibres are included in the above-mentioned proportion of mechanical pulp.
  • the light scattering coefficient of the base paper is also improved when the proportion of mechanical pulp is increased because the light scattering coefficient of mechanical pulp is 60 and the light scattering coefficient of chemical pulp is 25. As a result of this, the opacity of the paper produced as the end product is improved.
  • a reduction in the proportion of chemical pulp also leads to savings in costs because chemical pulp is generally more expensive than mechanical pulp.
  • the use of recycled fibres also makes the pulp less expensive as compared with the traditional pulp used in LWCR printing paper.
  • a higher than normal moisture content of the web when entering the pre-calender can be made use of in the pre-dryer section preceding the pre-calender.
  • the web simply need not be dried as much in the pre-dryer section, which means that the energy demand of the pre-dryer section is reduced.
  • Pre-calendering also reduces the need for end calendering. End calendering can be accomplished with a smaller number of nips or with lower linear loads. When the two-sidedness possibly found in the web in PPS roughness and Cobb-Unger oil absorption is corrected in the pre-calender, end calendering is facilitated.
  • the short circulation process arrangement can be accomplished in the manner described in WO publication 99/64668 and marketed under the trademark OptiFeed TM
  • the mixing of component stocks takes place immediately after the proportioning chests of the component stocks in a closed mixing volume, after which the stock is passed in a closed volume to a headbox.
  • the time taken by a grade change can be shortened from one hour to a few tens of seconds.
  • Fillers, fines and additives can be fed into the stock before the headbox or only in the headbox.
  • One stock feed arrangement of this kind is disclosed in EP patent 651 092 .
  • the headbox it is possible to use a single- or multilayer headbox.
  • One multilayer headbox is described in PCT patent application FI97/00713 and in the paper by M. Odell: Multilayering, Method or Madness?, XI Valmet Paper Technology Days 1998 .
  • the web can be provided with desired layer structures by means of a multilayer headbox by feeding the stock in layers between wires.
  • the single- or multilayer headbox can be a dilution headbox, which is marketed under the trademark OptiFlo TM .
  • the basis weight profile can be regulated by consistency regulation and in it it is possible to affect the fibre orientation by adjusting the profile.
  • a dilution headbox allows a uniform profile to be imparted to the web both in the machine direction and in the cross direction.
  • the fibre and filler distribution in the thickness direction of the web can be controlled to some extent by placement and vacuums of the dewatering elements of the gap former. Fillers are often accumulated on the surfaces of the web in the dewatering stages.
  • a gap former allows higher speeds than those allowed by other types of formers and it provides good formation for the web that is being formed.
  • the dewatering blades fitted immediately after a forming roll reduce the layer thickness of the web before loading blades. This in turn has a positive effect on the formation of the web that is being formed.
  • the formation of the web is advantageously below 3.0 g/m 2 .
  • the blades can be loaded with a relatively high force because the internal bond strengths of the web that is being formed are not of high significance when coated paper is manufactured.
  • the surface of the web can be closed, so that the penetration of the coating agent into the web is reduced.
  • the good formation, closed surfaces, good symmetry, uniform profile and sufficient smoothness attained by the gap former create good opportunities for the further treatment of the web.
  • the press section must have a closed and supported draw through the entire press section in order that it might be run at high speeds, typically over 1800 m/min.
  • the solids content of the web shall be raised in the press section to a value of over 45 %, which is in itself possible in a press section provided with both roll nips and extended nips.
  • a high solids content is required in order that the tensile stress directed at the web between the press section and the dryer section may be minimized.
  • the speed difference of the web between the press section and the dryer section is advantageously below 2 % because the porosity of the web increases with higher differences of draw.
  • a press section provided with one or more double-felted extended-nip presses.
  • WO publication 99/60202 discloses in one embodiment a press section provided with two separate double-felted extended nips.
  • a press section is marketed under the trademark OptiPress TM with one of its embodiments comprising two separate extended nips which are both double-felted.
  • This kind of press section provides symmetric dewatering and a web which is symmetric in its surface properties.
  • One of the felts can also be replaced with a transfer belt that does not receive water and transfers the web well. The smoothness of the web and its two-sidedness as well as the absorbency of the web can be controlled by means of transfer belts and press felts.
  • pre-dryer section it is possible to use cylinder drying and/or blowing drying, for example, impingement drying and/or through drying.
  • the upstream end of the pre-dryer section in particular is important in order that the speed difference of the web between the press section and the pre-dryer section should remain as low as possible. Efficient drying is achieved and the speed difference is minimized in the blowing dryer portion situated at the beginning of the pre-dryer section.
  • the blowing drying also speeds up grade change because the regulation of the temperature of the blowing drying units is quick.
  • the pre-dryer section can start from a planar dryer portion that applies blowing drying, which is followed by a cylinder drying portion.
  • Impingement drying also enables more efficient control of the moisture profile as compared with mere cylinder drying.
