Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Doppelsiebformer für eine Maschine zur Herstellung einer Faserstoffbahn, insbesondere einer Papier- oder Kartonbahn, aus mindestens einer Faserstoffsuspension, mit zwei umlaufenden endlosen Sieben, die unter Bildung eines keilförmigen Stoffeinlaufspalts, der unmittelbar von einem Stoffauflauf die Faserstoffsuspension aufnimmt, zusammenlaufen und anschließend eine Doppelsiebstrecke bilden, in welcher -in Sieblaufrichtung gesehen- die beiden Siebe mindestens je eine, in Sieblaufrichtung nacheinander angeordnete Formiereinheit und Entwässerungseinheit, die jeweils zumindest mittels Unterdruck Wasser aus der zwischen den beiden Sieben eingebrachten Faserstoffsuspension durch das jeweilige Sieb entfernen, passieren und danach voneinander getrennt werden, wobei die sich bildende Faserstoffbahn auf einem Sieb verbleibt, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a twin-wire former for a machine for producing a fibrous web, in particular a paper or board web, from at least one pulp suspension, with two continuous endless screens, which converge to form a wedge-shaped Stoffeinlaufspalts which receives the pulp suspension directly from a headbox, and then form a Doppelpsiebstrecke, in which-seen in Sieblaufrichtung- the two screens at least one, in the direction of wire direction successively arranged forming unit and dewatering unit, each remove at least by means of negative pressure water from the introduced between the two sieves pulp suspension through the respective sieve, and then from each other are separated, wherein the forming fibrous web remains on a sieve, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Faserstoffbahn, insbesondere einer Papier- oder Kartonbahn, aus mindestens einer Faserstoffsuspension gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 19.The invention further relates to a process for producing a fibrous web, in particular a paper or board web, from at least one fibrous suspension according to the preamble of claim 19.

Ein derartiger Doppelsiebformer ist beispielsweise aus den beiden deutschen Offenlegungsschriften DE 198 03 591 ( PB10656 DE ) und DE 196 51 493 A1 ( PB10449 DE ) des Anmelders bekannt. Er wird heutzutage bei der Herstellung von Karton und Verpackungspapieren bei niedrigen Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten verwendet, wobei in Zukunft diese Sorten auch bei höheren Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten hergestellt werden sollen. Damit vergrößert sich drastisch das Problem der Verschmutzung des Doppelsiebformers und angrenzender Baugruppen infolge der erhöhten Mitschleppung von Schwaden, wie beispielsweise Wasserdampfnebel und dergleichen. Diese Mitschleppung von Schwaden ist insbesondere bei den für die Herstellung von Karton und Verpackungspapieren verwendeten gröberen Siebtypen von Bedeutung, da sie weit größere Schwadenmengen als beispielsweise die engeren Siebtypen für schnell laufende Papiermaschinen, insbesondere für Zeitungsdruck, mitschleppen. Die mitgeführten Schwadenmengen führen vorwiegend zu Ablagerungen im Bereich des Doppelsiebformers, gegebenenfalls auch in angrenzenden Baugruppen. Lösen sich nun derartige Ablagerungen von ihren Ablagerungsstellen, wie insbesondere bewegte oder ruhende Maschinenteile, ab und gelangen sie auf eines der beiden Siebe oder gar zwischen die beiden Siebe, so kommt es mit Sicherheit zu einem Bahnabriss, der ein neues Aufführen der Faserstoffbahn notwendig macht und somit zu Produktionsausfällen und Kostennachteilen führt.Such a twin-wire former is, for example, the two German Offenlegungsschriften DE 198 03 591 ( PB10656 EN ) and DE 196 51 493 A1 ( PB10449 DE ) of the applicant. It is now used in the manufacture of paperboard and packaging papers at low production speeds, and in the future these grades are also to be produced at higher production speeds. Thus, drastically increases the problem of contamination of the twin wire former and adjacent assemblies due to the increased entrainment of steam, such as water vapor mist and the same. This entrainment of windrows is particularly important in the coarser screen types used for the production of cardboard and packaging papers, since they carry much larger amounts of steam than, for example, the narrower screen types for high-speed paper machines, in particular for newspaper printing. The entrained amounts of steam lead predominantly to deposits in the area of the twin-wire former, possibly also in adjacent assemblies. Now dissolve such deposits from their deposition sites, in particular moving or stationary machine parts, and get them on one of the two screens or even between the two screens, it is certain to a web break, which makes a new listing of the fibrous web necessary and thus leads to production losses and cost disadvantages.

Es ist also Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Doppelsiebformer und ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Arten anzugeben, mit welchen einerseits ein Entstehen von Ablagerungen im Bereich des Doppelsiebformers und angrenzender Baugruppen erheblich reduziert beziehungsweise gänzlich verhindert wird und andererseits keine technologischen Nachteile aufgrund einer veränderten Konstruktion im Bereich des Doppelsiebformers in Kauf genommen werden müssen.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a Doppelsiebformer and a method of the aforementioned types, with which on the one hand, a deposition of deposits in the field of Doppelsiebformers and adjacent assemblies is considerably reduced or completely prevented and on the other hand, no technological disadvantages due to an altered construction in the field of Twin-wire former must be accepted.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Doppelsiebformer erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass im jeweiligen Verlauf mindestens eines der beiden Siebe mindestens eine Absaugeinrichtung mit mindestens einer Absaugöffnung zur Abführung von Schwaden vorgesehen ist. Diese erfindungsgemäße Absaugeinrichtung bewirkt eine schnelle und effiziente Absaugung von Schwaden, überdies möglichst nahe am Ort ihrer Entstehung.This object is achieved in a twin-wire former according to the invention in that at least one suction device is provided with at least one suction opening for discharging swaths in the respective course of at least one of the two screens. This extraction device according to the invention causes a fast and efficient extraction of swaths, moreover as close as possible to the place of their formation.

Die Absaugeinrichtung ist als mindestens ein Zweikammersystem ausgeführt ist, dessen erste größere, vorzugsweise oberseitig angebrachte Kammer zur Sammlung und Abführung des Wassers und dessen zweite kleinere, vorzugsweise unterseitig angebrachte Kammer zur Sammlung und Abführung der Luft ausgelegt ist, wobei die erste Kammer vorzugsweise ein in Abfuhrrichtung ausgerichtetes Leitsystem, insbesondere Leitschaufeln, aufweist und wobei die Zuführung der Luft in die zweite Kammer mittels seitlich oberhalb der ersten Kammer beginnender und in die zweite Kammer mündender Kanäle erfolgt.
Damit ein möglichst geringes Maß an Umgebungsluft abgesaugt wird, ist der lichte Abstand zwischen der Absaugöffnung und dem benachbarten Sieb minimiert, vorzugsweise kleiner 300 mm.
The suction device is designed as at least a two-chamber system, the first larger, preferably top-mounted chamber for collecting and discharging the water and the second smaller, preferably mounted on the underside chamber for collecting and discharging the air is designed, the first chamber preferably in the discharge direction aligned guide system, in particular vanes, and wherein the supply of air into the second chamber by means of laterally above the first chamber beginning and opening into the second chamber channels.
So that the smallest possible amount of ambient air is extracted, the clear distance between the suction opening and the adjacent sieve is minimized, preferably less than 300 mm.

Die Absaugeinrichtung ist vorzugsweise in einem Bereich des Verlaufs des entsprechenden Siebs vorgesehen, in welchem das Sieb nicht in direktem Kontakt mit der herzustellenden Faserstoffbahn steht. Damit wird ein möglicher Einfluss der Absaugeinrichtung auf die herzustellende Faserstoffbahn gänzlich vermieden.The suction device is preferably provided in a region of the course of the corresponding screen, in which the screen is not in direct contact with the fibrous web to be produced. This completely avoids a possible influence of the suction device on the fibrous web to be produced.

Überdies wird dadurch auch der Wirkungsgrad der Absaugeinrichtung nicht unmerklich erhöht.Moreover, the efficiency of the suction device is not imperceptibly increased thereby.

Weiterhin kann die Absaugeinrichtung, die bevorzugt als Schlitzabsaugungseinrichtung, als Haubenabsaugungseinrichtung oder als Raumabsaugungseinrichtung ausgebildet ist, innerhalb oder außerhalb der Schlaufe des endlosen Siebs angeordnet sein. Die Schlitzabsaugung ist in günstiger Weise im Bereich eines freien Laufs des entsprechenden Siebs angeordnet, wohingegen die Haubenabsaugung in bevorzugter Weise im Bereich einer Umlenkung des entsprechenden Siebs angeordnet ist, wobei im Bereich des Umlenkelements vorzugsweise mindestens ein HD-Spritzrohr zur Beaufschlagung des Siebs mit einem Reinigungsmedium, insbesondere Reinigungsflüssigkeit, angebracht ist.Furthermore, the suction device, which is preferably designed as a slot suction device, as a hood suction device or as a space suction device, be arranged inside or outside the loop of the endless screen. The slot extraction is conveniently arranged in the region of a free run of the corresponding screen, whereas the hood extraction is preferably arranged in the region of a deflection of the corresponding screen, wherein in the region of the deflection preferably at least one HD spray tube for acting on the screen with a cleaning medium , in particular cleaning liquid, is attached.

Die Absaugeinrichtung erstreckt sich idealerweise über die ganze Breite der herzustellenden Faserstoffbahn hinweg, wobei die Absaugöffnung und/oder eine Mehrzahl von Absaugöffnungen, die vorzugsweise als Absaugstutzen ausgebildet sind, sich über die ganze Breite der herzustellenden Faserstoffbahn hinweg erstrecken kann.The suction device extends ideally over the entire width of the fibrous web to be produced, wherein the suction opening and / or a plurality of suction openings, which are preferably designed as suction nozzles, can extend over the entire width of the fibrous web to be produced.

Überdies sind die Absaugöffnungen beziehungsweise die Absaugstutzen in bevorzugter Ausführung zu zwei oder mehreren Sektionen mit mindestens zwei Absaugöffnungen beziehungsweise Absaugstutzen je Sektion zusammengefasst, wobei vorzugsweise jeder Sektion von Absaugöffnungen beziehungsweise Absaugstutzen Drosselventile oder ähnliches zugeordnet sein können. Dadurch wird eine Einstellbarkeit der sektionalen Absaugungen ermöglicht.Moreover, in a preferred embodiment, the suction openings or the suction nozzles are combined into two or more sections with at least two suction openings or suction nozzles per section, wherein preferably each section of suction openings or suction nozzles can be assigned throttle valves or the like. This allows adjustability of the sectional suction.

Im Hinblick auf eine möglichst effiziente Absaugung ist vorgesehen, dass die Absaugöffnungen beziehungsweise Absaugstutzen vorzugsweise polygone Absaugkonturen aufweisen. Die polygonen Absaugkonturen der Absaugöffnungen beziehungsweise Absaugstutzen können Rechtecke und/oder Quadrate und/oder Rauten und/oder Ellipsen und/oder Ovale und/oder Kreise sein.With regard to the most efficient extraction possible, it is provided that the suction openings or suction nozzles preferably have polygonal suction contours. The polygonal suction contours of the suction openings or suction nozzles may be rectangles and / or squares and / or rhombuses and / or ellipses and / or ovals and / or circles.

Ferner weist die Absaugeinrichtung mindestens eine steuer-/regelbare Absaugpumpe auf. Im Besonderen weist die Absaugeinrichtung zwei steuer-/regelbare Absaugpumpen, zwei steuer-/regelbare Absaugventilatoren oder ähnliches auf, die führer- oder triebseitig die Hälfte der Mehrzahl von Absaugöffnungen besaugen, und/oder jede Sektion von Absaugöffnungen beziehungsweise Absaugstutzen weist eine Absaugpumpe, einen Absaugventilator oder ähnliches mit steuer-/regelbarem und vorzugsweisen Einzelantrieb auf und/oder jede Absaugöffnung beziehungsweise jeder Absaugstutzen weist eine Absaugpumpe, einen Absaugventilator oder ähnliches mit steuer-/regelbarem und vorzugsweisen Einzelantrieb auf.Furthermore, the suction device has at least one controllable suction pump. In particular, the suction device has two controllable suction pumps, two controllable exhaust fans or the like, which suck on the driver's or drive side half of the plurality of suction openings, and / or each section of suction or extraction nozzles has a suction pump, an exhaust fan or similar with controllable / preferably and preferably single drive on and / or each suction opening or each suction nozzle has a suction pump, an exhaust fan or the like with controllable / controllable and preferably single drive.

Damit eine ausreichende Absaugung von Schwaden ermöglicht wird, weist die Absaugpumpe, die Absaugventilator oder ähnliches ein steuer-/regelbares Absaugvolumen im Bereich von 1 bis 40 m3/h pro m Arbeitsbreite pro m/min Sieblaufgeschwindigkeit, vorzugsweise von 1,4 bis 25 m3/h pro Meter Arbeitsbreite pro m/min Sieblaufgeschwindigkeit, auf. Die Absaugpumpe, der Absaugventilator oder ähnliches erzeugt hierbei eine steuer-/regelbare Absauggeschwindigkeit im Bereich von 10 bis 25 m/s, vorzugsweise von 12 bis 20 m/s.Thus, a sufficient suction of swaths is possible, the suction pump, the exhaust fan or the like a controllable / controllable extraction volume in the range of 1 to 40 m 3 / h per m working width per m / min screen speed, preferably from 1.4 to 25 m 3 / h per meter working width per m / min screen speed, up. The suction pump, the exhaust fan or the like in this case generates a controllable / suction speed in the range of 10 to 25 m / s, preferably from 12 to 20 m / s.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgabe wird verfahrensmäßig dadurch gelöst, dass mindestens eines der beiden Siebe im jeweiligen Verlauf mittels mindestens einer Absaugeinrichtung mit mindestens einer Absaugöffnung zur Abführung von Schwaden beaufschlagt wird. Die Absaugeinrichtung ist wiederum als Zweikammersystem ausgeführt. Dieses erfindungsgemäße Verfahren bewirkt eine schnelle und effiziente Absaugung von Schwaden, überdies möglichst nahe am Ort ihrer Entstehung.The inventive output is procedurally achieved in that at least one of the two screens in the respective course is acted upon by at least one suction device with at least one suction opening for the removal of steam. The suction device is again designed as a two-chamber system. This inventive method causes a quick and efficient extraction of windrows, moreover as close as possible to the place of their formation.
