Definitions

  • the invention pertains to a belt assembly for transferring a web from a press section to a dryer section, and to an apparatus for a paper- or board making machine comprising the belt assembly.
  • machines including a plurality of rolls such as press rolls, dryer cylinders, suction rolls etc. are used.
  • transfer means such as screens, wires or felts in combination with the above rolls are used.
  • various problems such as drawing of the web or sticking of the web can occur.
  • a web is transferred from a center roll 101 to an adjacent suction roll 103 inside a fabric or wire loop 105. Between the center roll 101 and the suction roll 103 there is a gap of up to 100 mm. The transfer of the web takes place due to the suction effect of the suction roll 103. Thereafter, the web is transported through the dryer section for further treatment. Because of the high water content of the web, after the press section, the web has a relative low strength. Therefore, problems such as drawing of the web when being transferred can occur.
  • DE 10 2004 060 478 A1 pertains to a method and device for preheating a fibrous web transferred from a press section to a dryer section of a paper or board making machine.
  • the web is transferred from a dewatering section to a drying section by means of a belt which can be made of metal and may have a plastics coating.
  • the belt is guided through a press nip where it receives a fibrous web to transport the same to a transfer wire in form of an air permeable wire. From the transfer wire the fibrous web is transferred to a support wire running about a suction cylinder.
  • Document DE 102 39 337 A1 pertains to a method for guiding an endless metal belt forming a nip in a calander of a paper and board making machine.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a belt assembly according to claim 1 or by an apparatus for a paper- or board making machine according to claim 19.
  • Advantageous embodiments are carried out according to the dependent claims.
  • a belt assembly for moving a web from a press section of a paper- or board-making machine to a dryer section of the machine comprises a combination of a first press roll adapted to be arranged at the press section, and a stretcher/guiding roll which is arranged between the press section and the dryer section.
  • a heat conductive metal belt that forms an endless loop and that is impervious to fluids goes over the first press roll and the stretcher/guiding roll, so as to take over a web at the press section and to move the web to the dryer section.
  • a proportional position control is provided in order to control the position of the metal belt with respect to the stretcher/guiding roll. This proportional position control is capable to control the position of the metal belt edges with respect to the edges of the stretcher/guiding roll.
  • both edges of the stretcher/guiding roll can be detected with high accuracy, because the bearing housing of this stretcher/guiding roll is provided in a dolly or carriage, and the position of this carriage is simple to measure. Then the measured metal belt edge position is used to control the position of the metal belt between the roll edges compared to each other. Thus, it is possible to maintain the edges of the metal belt ⁇ 2 mm within a control margin.
  • the first press roll can be a nip roll and/or the stretcher/guiding roll can be a grooved roll.
  • a doctor device can be provided at the first press roll, which is arranged within the endless loop. Due to the doctor device, advantageously, condensate occurring on the inner side of the metal belt and weakening the contact friction between the metal belt and the press roll can be removed.
  • At least one doctor device and/or at least one cleaning device can be provided at the stretcher/guiding roll, which are arranged outside of the endless loop.
  • the at least one cleaning device can be a water jet cleaner which is arranged before the doctor device in the running direction of the metal belt.
  • Preferably two water jet cleaners are arranged alternately with two doctor devices in the running direction of the metal belt.
  • Such an arrangement is advantageous for cleaning the outer surface of the metal belt to remove fibers etc. sticking from the metal belt surface. Because of the water jet cleaners provided before the doctor devices, furthermore, advantageously, the latter ones are lubricated and their wear is reduced.
  • the stretcher/guiding roll is reciprocally movable for adjusting a tension of the metal belt.
  • a stroke of a moving cylinder for moving the stretcher/guiding roll is between 50 mm and 300 mm.
  • a heating means is provided in the running direction of the metal belt between the stretcher/guiding roll and the first press roll.
  • a heating means is provided in the running direction of the metal belt between the stretcher/guiding roll and the first press roll.
  • the heating means comprises a steam chamber provided outside the endless loop and a steam chamber provided inside the endless loop.
  • the width of the steam chambers can advantageously extend the width of the metal belt, and the outside and inside steam chambers can be connected with each other. Therefore, the metal belt is not exposed to bending, when there is an equal steam pressure in both of the steam chambers. Furthermore, leaking of steam or condensate can be prevented, because the sides of each steam chamber can be easily sealed.
  • one of the steam chambers can be fixed, while the other one is provided with a hinge for opening.
  • the hinge is provided for opening the outside steam chamber, which makes it easier to clean the chamber of the paper side of the belt.
  • a condensate doctor device can be arranged within the inside steam chamber at the end where the metal belt exits the steam chamber.
  • a doctor blade of the doctor device is made of carbon fiber. The loading of the doctor blade can be caused from its and its holders own weight or from a spring arrangement.
  • a loadable sealing can be provided on the in and out running edges of the steam chambers, and within the steam chamber a steam pressure in a range from 5 to 500 kPa, preferably from 10 to 150 kPa can be achieved.

  • the out running edge corresponds to the edge of the steam chamber, where the metal belt exits the steam chamber.
  • the loadable sealing is a double Teflon Graphite cord sealing.
  • the load of the sealing on the exit side of the metal belt can be higher than the load of the sealing on the entry side of the metal belt. This advantageously prevents steam or condensate to exit the steam chambers in the running direction of the metal belt.
  • the web Due to the heated metal belt, the web can dry on the surface of the metal belt, leading to that the dry content of the web is 2 to 15 % higher when arriving at the dryer section. This value, however, depends on the paper grade and grammage. Heavy board grades have a 2 to 5 % increase, while light wood free grades have a 4 to 10 % increase and light wood containing grades have a 10 to 15 % increase.
  • wood free grades are made from pulp, i.e. fibers and not wood from mechanical pulping, while wood containing grades contain ground wood, for instance newspaper grades.
  • means to prevent broke or other material from falling from the web on the inner surface of the metal belt can be provided.
  • the metal belt can be closed at its side, to prevent that material from above such as broke falls on the inner surface of the metal belt and enters between the metal belt and one of the rolls which might lead to deformation of the metal belt.
  • a plate can provided within the metal belt loop between the stretcher/guiding roll and the press roll. The width of the plate extends the width of the metal belt, and, thus, prevents e.g. broke or other material of the web from falling on the inner surface of the metal belt.
  • the metal belt For treating certain kinds of webs, such as board or wood free grades, it can be advantageous, if the surface of the metal belt is coated. For other kinds of web, such as wood containing grades, the metal belt can be provided without coating.
  • the average surface roughness (Ra) of the metal belt is smaller than 3 ⁇ m, and preferably it is between 0 ⁇ m and 1.5 ⁇ m.
  • the tension of the metal belt can be between 3 and 200 MPa, and preferably it is between 3 and 40 MPa.
  • having a short metal belt a range between 10 and 30 MPa is the most suitable tension. If a tension of the metal belt is below this range, guiding of the metal belt is difficult, while a tension of the metal belt above this range can cause wire markings e.g. from suction pick-up to the dryer section.
  • an apparatus for a paper- or board-making machine comprises a press section comprising at least one press roll, a press nip or a pair of press rolls for pressing a web, a dryer section comprising at least one dryer cylinder for drying the web, and a belt assembly as described above.
  • the metal belt is provided between the press section and the dryer section, in a moving direction of the web, wherein the metal belt is guided at least about the one press roll and at least about a stretcher/guiding roll arranged adjacent to the dryer section.
  • a belt assembly for moving a web from a press section of a paper- or board making machine to a dryer section of the machine can be a combination of at least two of a first press roll adapted to be arranged at the press section, a first dryer cylinder adapted to be arranged at the dryer section, and a stretcher/guiding roll, which is arranged between or within the press section and/or the dryer section.
  • a heat conductive metal belt that forms an endless loop and that is impervious to fluids goes over the first press roll and/or the first dryer cylinder and/or the stretcher/guiding roll in order to take over a web at the press section and to move the web to the dryer section.
  • the belt assembly according to the invention advantageously, can be incorporated between a press section and a dryer section of an existing paper machine.

  • These steam heating chambers 53, 57 are provided such that the temperature of the metal belt 5 in the smoothing nip is not too high in order to avoid a generation of steam on/in the surface of the web, which might deteriorate the surface of the web.
  • the temperature of the metal belt 5 in the smoothing nip is below 120°C.
  • the press nip formed by the press roll 13 and its counter roll is separated from the metal belt.
  • the press roll 13 is located within a loop formed by the first felt 17.
  • the web is transferred from the first felt by means of a vacuum roll 16 to a felt 20 and from there by means of another vacuum roll 18 to the felt 21.
  • the second press roll 19 and the belt roll 11 the web is then transferred onto the metal belt 5.
  • smoothing rolls 59, 61 provided, which in this embodiment are movable.
  • the steam heating chamber is provided for achieving a required belt temperature.
  • Both rolls 59, 61 can be movable/adjustable in the web running direction in order to control the angle of the web going in/out to/of the nip.
  • a surface roughness of the metal belt 5 is below 5 ⁇ m.
  • a metal belt 5 having a surface roughness below 0,2 ⁇ m is preferred.
  • This kind of metal belt 5 is especially employed in a case, where a smoothing nip formed by e.g. smoothing rollers 59, 61 shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 is provided.
  • the previously described embodiment can be modified by providing an impingement dryer 55 instead of the smoothing nip, and a vacuum roll 41 instead of the suction box 39.
  • Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment of a metal belt assembly incorporated into a paper- and board making machine.
  • three rolls 51 are arranged opposite of an impingement dryer 55 with the belt 5 therebetween.
  • the web is taken over from the press section 1 in a nip formed between the belt roll 11 and an adjacent guiding roll 23.
  • the web is transferred on the metal belt 5 which is supported by the three subsequent rolls 51 of which at least one is capable to stretch/guide the belt 5, to be lead close to the impingement dryer 55 before the web is taken over in the dryer section 3 by means of a suction box 39 arranged opposite the belt cylinder 31 and between the belt cylinder 31 and the first cylinder 35 of a second row of cylinders 35 of the dryer section 3.
  • the belt roll 11 is movable.
  • the metal belt assembly according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 7 lacks a water removing nip. Instead of the water removing nip a transfer nip is formed between the belt roll 11 and a transfer roll 25.
  • the transfer roll 25 also serves to guide a transfer wire 21 for transferring the web from the press section 1 to the metal belt 5.
  • the web is transferred to a second felt 20 by means of a suction roll 16 and from there it is transferred to the transfer wire 21 by means of a suction roll 18.
  • the transfer wire 21 is further guided about a third roll. Then the web is transferred to the dryer section 3 by means of the metal belt 5 and transferred to the dryer section 3 at the belt cylinder 31 as described above.
  • Fig. 6 as well as the embodiment of Fig. 7 can be modified such that instead of the belt roll 11 another cylinder, a thermo roll or a guide roll can be provided. Therefore, there is a high degree of flexibility for incorporating a metal belt assembly according to the invention into existing paper- and board making machines. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve tensioning of the metal belt 5 by moving the transfer roll 25.
  • Fig. 8 shows a further embodiment of a metal belt assembly incorporated into a paper- and board making machine according to the invention.
  • the metal belt 5 is guided merely about a belt roll 11 and a belt cylinder 31.
  • a heatable thermo roll or even a normal guide roll can be provided.
  • the belt cylinder 31 or the respective roll is movable for tensioning/guiding the metal belt 5.
  • steam heating chambers 53 are provided for heating of the metal belt 5 between the belt cylinder 31 and the belt roll 11.
  • An impingement dryer 55 is provided between the first press roll and the belt cylinder 31.
  • the metal belt is supported by foil-like supports 63 arranged opposite of the impingement dryer. The supports 63 are more cost effective than support rolls.
  • the belt cylinder 31 or the respective roll is arranged on a lower level than the belt roll 11. Therefore the metal belt 5 with the web on top of it runs downwards from the nip formed by the belt roll 11 and the press roll 13. In this case, bearings of the belt cylinder 31 or the respective roll provided instead of the belt cylinder 31 are arranged above the machine hall floor for easy maintenance.
  • the length of the metal belt ranges from e.g. 7 to 22 meters.
  • the metal belt has a tension in a range from 10 to 30 MPa.
  • Fig. 9 shows a further embodiment, according to which the metal belt 5 is running not only around the belt cylinder 31, but is also led through a subsequent portion of the dryer section 3.
  • the metal belt 5 is guided to the belt cylinder 31 and further travels in a meandering way about the second and first rows of cylinders 33, 35 of the dryer section 3.
  • the cylinders 35 of the second row of cylinders are grooved cylinders and can be heated.
  • the metal belt 5 is guided about two guiding/stretching rolls 51 and then back to the belt roll 11. Thereby, the belt 5 passes steam heating chambers 53 arranged between the latter guiding/stretcher roll and the belt roll.
  • Dashed lines in Fig. 9 show an alternative running path for the metal belt 5.
  • the metal belt 5 is guided about guiding rolls 43 to pass two impingement dryers 55 before arriving at the belt cylinder 31.
  • the first of the guiding rolls 43 is arranged between the belt roll 11 and the press section 1, while the second guiding roll 43 is arranged essentially above the belt roll 11.
  • the guiding rolls 43 guide the belt with the web on top towards the press section and then upwards before the belt 5 goes down to the belt cylinder 31.
  • the metal belt 5 then travels in the meandering way about the second and first rows of cylinders 33, 35 and goes on as described above.
  • This alternative solution advantageously can be incorporated into existing paper- and board making machines having restricted space. By the alternative solution, nevertheless it is possible to achieve a long running time of the web on the metal belt and to treat the web by e.g. impingement dryers 55 before the web is transferred to the dryer section 3.
  • an auxiliary belt 6 is shown in dashed lines as well.
  • the auxiliary belt is led from the belt cylinder 31 in the same way as the metal belt 5.
  • the auxiliary belt 6 is located on the side of the metal belt 5 which is opposite of the web.
  • the auxiliary belt 6 serves as an additional heating means for increasing/maintaining the temperature of the metal belt 5.
  • the metal belt 5 is installed from reel. After the installation, the open ends of the metal belt 5 are welded together and a surface treatment or coating takes place in situ in the paper- or board machine.
  • the rolls 13 and 19 also can be formed as shoe press rolls as it is possible with the belt roll 11 in the embodiment of Fig. 9 .
