Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for treating a Web, in particular a paper or cardboard web, where the web is led through a wide nip, the one between a shoe roller with a rotating one Sheath and a heated counter roll is formed.
  • the treatment of a web in a wide nip serves to smooth the web in a volume-saving manner.
  • the coat of the Shoe roller is in with the help of a pressure shoe a circumferential area pressed against the counter roller, which in Web direction is longer than the width of a nip, which is formed between two cylindrical rollers, even if one of these two rollers has an elastic one Can have surface covering.
  • the jacket of the shoe roller must over in its circulation the pressure shoe are guided.
  • To reduce Friction and for cooling the jacket is known in bring in the cavity surrounded by oil.
  • this oil is replaced by a hydrostatic Lubrication in the contact surface between the contact shoe and introduced the coat.
  • the cavity is on the face by seals, e.g. Disks, limited.
  • the Oil cannot escape from the cavity during normal operation step out easily. However, they are facilities provided with which the oil are removed can.
  • the jacket of the shoe roller is relatively heavily used. It turns out of its cylindrical shape with every revolution deformed out. In operation, it cannot be ruled out that the coat is damaged. In this Fall must the jacket revolving at the speed of the web and also the counter roll rotating at web speed be slowed down, but of course a certain Takes time. Usually one can be done every second achieve a speed reduction of 10 m / min. This means that the braking process is timed can reach an order of magnitude of minutes. It is very likely that this will occur Oil from the damaged coat. This exit can still be caused by centrifugal forces Coat to be reinforced. This creates one dangerous situation. On the one hand, this can result from the damaged Coat spurting oil around cause mechanical damage. On the other hand this oil also get on the heated counter roll. Temperatures of well over 100 ° C are common here. If this temperature is above the flash point in the Oil is used, the oil can ignite, which severely limits operational safety.
  • the invention has for its object the risk of fire to diminish.
  • This task is in the process of the aforementioned Kind of solved by placing the coat on one Damage monitored, if damage occurs the Breitnip opens and the web continues and used as a protective device.
  • a pressure change in the cavity is preferably monitored.
  • a change in pressure is much easier monitor as an absolute pressure. If the Pressure by more than one in a predetermined time changes predetermined amount, this is an indication of the Damage to the jacket.
  • monitoring the pressure or the pressure change can also be seen optically monitor, for example with the help of a camera.
  • the camera takes a picture of the surface of the shoe roller on. If this picture changes, so is it an indication of damage to the roller. Possibly oil leakage can also be recognized.
  • the web be of a thickness wraps around the roller, the maximum 90% of the distance of the Rolls in the open state of the wide nip corresponds. This prevents the wrap from becoming too thick and the rollers forming the wide nip are damaged.
  • the web with a thickness of at least 1 mm around the roller. The diameter the roller then increases by 2 mm. If you have the Packs the shoe roller, then the wrap can also be a Have a thickness of at least 1.5 mm to add to the coat to be able to stabilize. You can also get one choose a different design: for example, you can use it ensure that the web has at least six layers around the Roll is wound, preferred for varieties with higher Basis weights.
  • a sensor is used that measures the thickness of the web wound around the roller. This The sensor can then generate a signal to which the Web is knocked off before the Breitnip.
  • the web through the open wide nip to a position leads behind the Breitnip.
  • the train can for example, be returned to the pulper or be wound up. If the train continues, then it only prevents oil from the damaged one Jacket of the shoe roller to the heated counter roller is injected. In many cases this procedure is sufficient but also to prevent a fire hazard.
  • the path is marked. For example you can spray paint on the edge of the web, so that later on the finished wrap without can also see which part of the web as a committee is to be considered.
  • the web is preferably offset transversely to its direction of travel, if the damage to the jacket is outside the Web width occurs. For example, if the damage in an axial end or edge region of the jacket occurs, then the oil could spurt out to the side of the web. This error case is simple mitigated by shifting the train so far, that she can cover the damage again. Such one Relocation can be caused, for example, by that you have a guide roller arranged in front of the wide nip something tends.
  • the axial position of the Damage In this case, you don't just determine whether damage has occurred, but also where. Based the axial position can then be determined whether the Path must be moved or not.
  • Fig. 1 shows a wide nip calender 1 with a shoe roller 2 and a counter roller 3, one between them Form Breitnip 4.
  • the wide nip 4 is open, i.e. the shoe roller 2 and the counter roller 3 been separated from each other.
  • the shoe roller 2 has a circumferential jacket 5, who with the help of a pressure shoe 6 towards the Counter roll 3 is loaded.
  • the pressure shoe 6 has one Pressure surface 7, which is concavely curved, so that the jacket 5 in the area of the pressure shoe 6 to the circumference the counter roller 3 can be pressed. This is schematically through the corresponding curvature of the jacket 5 shown.
  • hydrostatic lubrication device provided, i.e. there will be an oil in between the coat 5 and the pressure shoe 6 pressed.
  • This Oil accumulates in a cavity 8, which is from Coat 5 is surrounded. From the cavity 8, the oil transported with removal means not shown.
  • the cavity 8 is closed on its end faces, for example through end plates.
  • the counter roll 3 is heated.
  • she points to this peripheral holes 9 through which a Heating medium, such as steam or heated oil, passed can be applied to the surface of the counter roller 3 to heat.
  • a Heating medium such as steam or heated oil
  • the temperature can values of the surface of the counter roller 3 assume in the order of 180 ° C and more.
  • a teeing-off device is usually used in the event of a fault 10 activated, the one web 11, the Breitnip goes through, cuts.
  • the tee 10 is in the direction of web travel by a Arrow 12 is shown, arranged in front of the wide nip 4, i.e. one tries to get the web 11 from the Breitnip 4 to remove. This procedure is described in the present Case not used. Rather, it does the following:
  • a pressure sensor 13 can be used for this purpose use which is arranged in the cavity 8.
  • the pressure sensor 13 can either be an absolute pressure in the cavity determine.
  • the pressure in the cavity 8 is normally on the order of 25 to 95 mbar higher than the ambient pressure. If this pressure on you If the value drops below 20 mbar, this is called the tear of the jacket 5 interpreted.
  • the pressure sensor 13 can also have a pressure difference over time. For example, if the Overpressure in cavity 8 drops by 10 mbar in one second, this is also considered damage to the jacket 5 interpreted.
  • the web 11 is through the tee 10 severed before the wide nip.
  • the Time is determined from the thickness of the web 11 and thus the thickness of the "packaging" of the jacket 5, ie of the winding 18, from the strength of the web 11 and the Distance between the two rollers 2, 3 in the open state of the wide nip 4.
  • the winding 18 may at most so become thick as the distance between the rollers 2, 3.
  • the thickness should be less than 90% of the distance be.
  • the strength of the "packaging" depends on the strength the path used.
  • the wrap should be out at least 6 layers of the web exist respectively be at least 1.5 mm thick. This results in a Diameter increase of at least 3 mm.
  • the delay, with which the shoe roller 2 is braked, the extent the shoe roller 2 and the distance in front of the Breitnip 4th arranged tee device 10 may be the time can be calculated at which the web 11 for the second time is knocked off, namely before the Breitnip 4. The calculation this point in time can take place during the described process is running.
  • a sensor 19 can also be used, which measures the thickness of the roll 18 and out and out the distance of the tee 10 the time intended for teeing off in front of the Breitnip 4.
  • Fig. 2 shows a modified embodiment. Same Elements are provided with the same reference symbols.
  • the wrap 18 should also consist of at least in this case there are six layers or at least 1 mm be thick so that the diameter of the counter roll 3 ⁇ m grows at least 2 mm.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further modified embodiment.
  • the same elements have the same reference symbols as described in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the Lane 11 is not severed if an error occurs. Rather, it continues to run and becomes a winding roll 21 wound or in a not shown Pulper headed. However, the web 11 still acts as a lock between the shoe roller 2 and the counter roller 3, so that oil does not hit the hot surface of the backing roll 3 can reach.
  • the web 11 is with Help of the tee 10 in front of the Breitnip 4th then knocked off when the jacket 5 is only a little Has speed.
  • the speed should be are preferably below 100 m / min, better below 50 m / min and advantageously below 5 m / min.
  • the damage occurs in an area that is not is covered by the web, then the oil would come out of the Coat can step out without being hindered by the web to become.
  • one is placed upstream of the Breitnip Guide roller slightly inclined. As a consequence, that the web is offset laterally. The lateral offset causes the web to cover the damage.
  • the web can be used as a protective device be used.
