Definitions
- the invention concerns an installation for compacting paper and a method of using the same.
- Such installation is usually part of a paper machine where it provides a web of smooth paper with a microcrepe-like structure as is desirable or required in certain types of paper, in particular, kraft paper for large paper bags as used for transport and storage of powdery and granular materials.
- the known grinding device comprises two rolls, one drivable by an electric motor and one a pulley, and an abrasive belt guided by the rolls whose abrasive outer surface can be pressed against the outer surface of the rubber belt while the grinding device moves along a rail which transversally extends along the rubber blanket.

- the processing wheel has a much longer service life and a sudden break-up resulting in damage to the rubber blanket is unlikely.
- Towards the end of its service life it will merely become less effective in that its abrasive properties decline. In that case it can be rather easily exchanged and in most cases recoated and put to use again.
- position and motion of the processing wheel can be controlled with much higher precision.
- the properties of the processing wheel can be chosen within a wide range.
- the structured surface can be covered with an abrasive layer similar to those used on an abrasive belt or it can exhibit a rasp-like structure with larger radial extensions but it can also have a metallic surface of almost any structure, coated or not with some extremely hard and wear-resistant material like tungsten carbide.

Different processing wheels can be used in succession as the exchange of wheels is easy.
- An installation for compacting paper comprises ( Fig. 1a,b ) blanket carrier rolls 1, 2, 3 of which at least one is drivable and one serves as a tensioning roll and a rubber blanket 4 which forms a closed loop running over the blanket carrier rolls 1, 2, 3 moving in the direction of the arrow 5 at a speed of up to 1200 m/min.
- An outer guide roll 6 contacts an outside of the rubber blanket 4.
- a nip bar 7 exerts a force on an inner surface of the rubber blanket 4 directed towards a heated cylinder 8 with a polished surface which is part of a paper machine, such that a paper web 9 consisting of paper with a water content of between 30% and 40% and which moves in the direction of arrow 10 is pinched between an outer surface of the rubber blanket 4 and the circumference of cylinder 8.
- Two spray tubes 11 and 12 spray the inner surface of the rubber blanket 5 with a fluid, usually water.
- the rubber blanket 4 moves slightly slower than the cylinder surface and the incoming paper web 9. The latter is therefore somewhat compressed in the direction of its movement and thereby a microcrepe-like structure impressed on it which improves its properties with respect to tensile energy absorption and frictional coefficient.
- a processing device 13 can be shifted along a rail 14 which runs in a direction transversal to the direction of motion of the rubber blanket 4, preferably parallel to the blanket carrier rolls 1, 2, 3, e.g., by a chain driven by an electric motor.
- the processing device 13 comprises a processing wheel 15 which in the standard embodiment shown is a grinding wheel.
- the processing wheel 15 is partially covered by a housing 16 and drivable by an electric motor 17 to rotate about an axis parallel to the rail 14.
- a pipe 18 arranged just under the processing wheel 15 is part of a suction apparatus.
- the processing device 13 can be switched in and out of an active state where the processing wheel 15 rotates, driven by electric motor 17, and is in contact with the rubber blanket 4. When it is not in its active state, the electric motor 17 is switched off and the processing wheel 15 is at a distance from the rubber blanket 4.
- the processing wheel 15 can be moved in and out of contact with the rubber blanket 4 by small clockwise and, respectively, counter-clockwise rotations of the rail 14. The position of the processing wheel 15 can in this way be controlled with great precision.
- the processing wheel 15 ( Fig. 2a,b ) can have a generally cylindrical shape with a barrel-shaped circumferential abrasive structured surface 19.
- the latter can have a smooth base densely covered by small grinding teeth as indicated in Figs. 2a ,b.
- the teeth consist of a very hard and wear-resistant material, e.g., tungsten carbide or steel. Processing wheels of this type are available and have been used for the purpose of roughening rubber conveyor belts and generally processing the surfaces of objects made of rubber and other elastomers.
- the grinding of the rubber blanket 4 is carried out without interruption of the compacting process in that the processing device 13 is switched to the active state, i.e., the electric motor 17 is switched on and the processing wheel 15 which now rotates in a clockwise direction ( Fig. 1a ) pressed against the outer surface of the rubber blanket 4 at a first edge of the latter. Then the processing device 13 is shifted slowly along the rail 14 to the opposite edge of the rubber blanket 4. The cuttings which are removed from the same during this process are siphoned off into the pipe 18 of the suction apparatus which may be part of the grinding device 13 or a stationary component of the installation connected to the pipe 18 by a flexible hose.

- the discs can be equal or different. This allows an even wider range of choices for the properties of the processing wheel 15 which in turn influence, via the rubber blanket 5, the properties of the finished paper.
- the processing wheel 15 of Fig. 3a,b is a roughening wheel consisting of six equal discs 20.
- the circumferential surfaces of the discs 20 form a base partially covered by the blade-like extensions 21 which together provide a very rough rasp-like structured surface 19.
- the processing wheel 15 can be used to imprint a correspondingly rough surface structure on the rubber blanket 4 which is in turn imparted to the surface of the paper web 9. In this way paper with a high frictional coefficient can be produced. Such paper is particularly suitable for the production of larger bags to be filled with heavy granular material as it reduces the risk of dangerous slides where the filled bags are stored in stacks.
- the processing wheel may, of course, consist of more or less discs than shown in the example.
- the discs need not be equal either but may be different, in particular, with respect to the properties of the structured surface.
- the processing device 15 is used at intervals, that is, whenever it is deemed necessary to adapt the properties of the outer surface of the rubber blanket 4, in particular, to remove an oxide layer which has formed on it by grinding. In many cases it is sufficient that this operation be carried out once a day.

Abstract
Description
- The invention concerns an installation for compacting paper and a method of using the same. Such installation is usually part of a paper machine where it provides a web of smooth paper with a microcrepe-like structure as is desirable or required in certain types of paper, in particular, kraft paper for large paper bags as used for transport and storage of powdery and granular materials.
- An installation generally conforming to the generic type, but not provided with a grinding device, and its function are described in
EP 0 749 828 A2 . - As the surfaces of the rubber blanket used for compacting paper tend to oxidise and become slippery such that the installation cannot satisfactorily fulfil its function of impressing a microcrepe-like structure on the paper web any more it is well known to provide the installation with a grinding device which can be used from time to time, e.g., once a day, for removing the oxide layer from the outer surface of the rubber band and grinding it by moving it over the rubber band in a transversal direction without interfering with the operation of the installation and the paper machine. The known grinding device comprises two rolls, one drivable by an electric motor and one a pulley, and an abrasive belt guided by the rolls whose abrasive outer surface can be pressed against the outer surface of the rubber belt while the grinding device moves along a rail which transversally extends along the rubber blanket.
- A grinding device of this type is rather bulky and heavy. The possibilities of varying the properties of the abrasive belt are limited. Furthermore, there is always a risk of the belt breaking during operation and consequent damage of the rubber blanket which is relatively expensive and whose exchange is time-consuming and not possible without an interruption of the paper making process.
- The above-mentioned problems are solved by the features in the characterising portion of
claim 1. According to the invention, instead of an abrasive belt a processing wheel with a structured surface which is usually abrasive is used. The processing wheel has a much longer service life and a sudden break-up resulting in damage to the rubber blanket is unlikely. Towards the end of its service life it will merely become less effective in that its abrasive properties decline. In that case it can be rather easily exchanged and in most cases recoated and put to use again. Moreover, position and motion of the processing wheel can be controlled with much higher precision. - The properties of the processing wheel can be chosen within a wide range. The structured surface can be covered with an abrasive layer similar to those used on an abrasive belt or it can exhibit a rasp-like structure with larger radial extensions but it can also have a metallic surface of almost any structure, coated or not with some extremely hard and wear-resistant material like tungsten carbide. This opens, beside the grinding proper, also indirect ways of influencing the character of the compaction, i.e., of the resulting paper surface which may be optimised for tensile strength, tensile energy absorption, porosity, frictional coefficient and other parameters. Different processing wheels can be used in succession as the exchange of wheels is easy.
- The invention is explained more fully in the following with reference to figures which represent merely exemplary embodiments, and wherein:
- Fig. 1a
- schematically shows a side view of an installation according to the invention,
- Fig. 1b
- schematically shows a top view of the installation of
Fig. 1a , - Fig. 2a
- shows a side view of a processing wheel used in the installation of
Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b , according to a first embodiment of the installation, - Fig. 2b
- shows a top view of the processing wheel of
Fig. 2a , - Fig. 3a
- shows a side view of a processing wheel used in the installation of
Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b , according to a second embodiment of the installation, and - Fig. 3b
- shows a top view of the processing wheel of
Fig. 3a . - An installation for compacting paper comprises (
Fig. 1a,b ) blanket carrier rolls 1, 2, 3 of which at least one is drivable and one serves as a tensioning roll and arubber blanket 4 which forms a closed loop running over theblanket carrier rolls arrow 5 at a speed of up to 1200 m/min. An outer guide roll 6 contacts an outside of therubber blanket 4. Anip bar 7 exerts a force on an inner surface of therubber blanket 4 directed towards a heatedcylinder 8 with a polished surface which is part of a paper machine, such that apaper web 9 consisting of paper with a water content of between 30% and 40% and which moves in the direction ofarrow 10 is pinched between an outer surface of therubber blanket 4 and the circumference ofcylinder 8. Twospray tubes rubber blanket 5 with a fluid, usually water. - Having passed the gap between the
cylinder 8 and thenip bar 7 where it is compressed and its velocity conforms to that of the cylinder surface therubber blanket 4 moves slightly slower than the cylinder surface and theincoming paper web 9. The latter is therefore somewhat compressed in the direction of its movement and thereby a microcrepe-like structure impressed on it which improves its properties with respect to tensile energy absorption and frictional coefficient. - A
processing device 13 can be shifted along arail 14 which runs in a direction transversal to the direction of motion of therubber blanket 4, preferably parallel to theblanket carrier rolls processing device 13 comprises aprocessing wheel 15 which in the standard embodiment shown is a grinding wheel. Theprocessing wheel 15 is partially covered by ahousing 16 and drivable by anelectric motor 17 to rotate about an axis parallel to therail 14. Apipe 18 arranged just under theprocessing wheel 15 is part of a suction apparatus. - The
processing device 13 can be switched in and out of an active state where theprocessing wheel 15 rotates, driven byelectric motor 17, and is in contact with therubber blanket 4. When it is not in its active state, theelectric motor 17 is switched off and theprocessing wheel 15 is at a distance from therubber blanket 4. Theprocessing wheel 15 can be moved in and out of contact with therubber blanket 4 by small clockwise and, respectively, counter-clockwise rotations of therail 14. The position of theprocessing wheel 15 can in this way be controlled with great precision. - The processing wheel 15 (
Fig. 2a,b ) can have a generally cylindrical shape with a barrel-shaped circumferential abrasive structuredsurface 19. The latter can have a smooth base densely covered by small grinding teeth as indicated inFigs. 2a ,b. The teeth consist of a very hard and wear-resistant material, e.g., tungsten carbide or steel. Processing wheels of this type are available and have been used for the purpose of roughening rubber conveyor belts and generally processing the surfaces of objects made of rubber and other elastomers. - The grinding of the
rubber blanket 4 is carried out without interruption of the compacting process in that theprocessing device 13 is switched to the active state, i.e., theelectric motor 17 is switched on and theprocessing wheel 15 which now rotates in a clockwise direction (Fig. 1a ) pressed against the outer surface of therubber blanket 4 at a first edge of the latter. Then theprocessing device 13 is shifted slowly along therail 14 to the opposite edge of therubber blanket 4. The cuttings which are removed from the same during this process are siphoned off into thepipe 18 of the suction apparatus which may be part of the grindingdevice 13 or a stationary component of the installation connected to thepipe 18 by a flexible hose. - For the processing wheel there are many possibilities. E.g., instead of using a one-piece processing wheel as explained above it is also possible to use a processing wheel consisting of several narrow discs which are aligned along the axis of rotation, one following immediately upon the other. The discs can be equal or different. This allows an even wider range of choices for the properties of the
processing wheel 15 which in turn influence, via therubber blanket 5, the properties of the finished paper. - The
processing wheel 15 ofFig. 3a,b is a roughening wheel consisting of sixequal discs 20. On the circumferential surface of each of thediscs 20 an uninterrupted row of larger radially projecting blade-like extensions 21 is arranged. They can consist of a very hard and wear-resistant material line tungsten carbide or of steel in which case they are preferably coated with such material. The circumferential surfaces of thediscs 20 form a base partially covered by the blade-like extensions 21 which together provide a very rough rasp-likestructured surface 19. Theprocessing wheel 15 can be used to imprint a correspondingly rough surface structure on therubber blanket 4 which is in turn imparted to the surface of thepaper web 9. In this way paper with a high frictional coefficient can be produced. Such paper is particularly suitable for the production of larger bags to be filled with heavy granular material as it reduces the risk of dangerous slides where the filled bags are stored in stacks. - The processing wheel may, of course, consist of more or less discs than shown in the example. The discs need not be equal either but may be different, in particular, with respect to the properties of the structured surface.
- The
processing device 15 is used at intervals, that is, whenever it is deemed necessary to adapt the properties of the outer surface of therubber blanket 4, in particular, to remove an oxide layer which has formed on it by grinding. In many cases it is sufficient that this operation be carried out once a day. -
