Definitions

  • present invention relates to a method for calendering a fiber web and a calender. More especially the present invention relates to a method for calendering a fiber web according to the preamble part of claim 1 and to a calender according to preamble part of claim 7.
  • Calendering is generally carried out in order to improve the properties; surface properties, like smoothness and gloss, and caliber of a fiber web such as a paper or board web. Calendering has different functions depending on the location of the calender in the fiber web production line and on the fiber web grade to be produced. For example when producing coated fiber web grades a precalender is used before coating and after coating the fiber web is calendered in final calender.
  • Calender can be an incorporated part of the fiber web production line or the coating machine i.e. an online-calender. In case a calender forms an independent unit, it is called offline-calender. Into online-calenders the fiber web is guided from the drying section of the fiber web machine or of the coater. Into offline-calenders the fiber web is guided from a reel-up.
  • calendering the web is passed into a nip, i.e. calendering nip, formed between rolls that are pressed against each other, in which nip the web becomes deformed as by the action of temperature, moisture and nip pressure.
  • nip calendering nip
  • surface roughness of calender rolls have an effect to smoothness of the finished fiber web.
  • moisturizing of the fiber web, especially changes of moisture content have an effect to smoothness of the finished fiber web. Re-drying does not recover the lost smoothness i.e. the change is irreversible.
  • Calendering has an effect to various properties of the fiber web, for example smoothness, density, transparency, opacity etc.
  • some required property values lead to difficulties in achieving other required values of properties of the fiber web.
  • smoothness of the fiber web may rise to too high level in order to achieve in calendering at needed loads and temperatures the required density, transparency and opacity levels.
  • calenders are used in calendering of fiber webs: in hard nip calenders (machine calenders) there are typically 1 - 2 nips and the web is calendered in a nip between two hard rolls, in soft calenders there are typically 1 - 4 nips and at least one of the nip rolls is a soft surface polymer roll. In hard nip calenders and in soft calenders one of nip rolls is a heatable thermo roll. Multiroll calenders have usually 5 - 11 nips i.e. 6 - 12 calender rolls, of which 2 - 5 are thermo rolls and 4 - 7 soft surfaced, polymer coated rolls. Super calenders have usually also several nips and in a typical super calender, the hard rolls are of metal, usually steel and/or cast iron, and the soft rolls have been paper-filled or fabric-filled.
  • WO2005052253 is disclosed a method in calendering a paper web or corresponding fiber web, in which the paper web is calendered in a multiroll calender, wherein the paper web is calendered in a stack of rolls formed by at least three rolls, wherein calendering nips are formed by thermo rolls and by a calendering rolls with a soft surface.
  • the paper web is calendered in at least one calendering nip formed by a thermo roll with a matt surface and by a calendering roll with a soft surface in order to produce a paper web with a matt surface.
  • WO2007077296 is disclosed a method and a device of calendering a fiber web, such as paper, board or a corresponding web, so that the fiber web is passed through a nip zone formed by two hard surfaces so that the fiber web is calendered in at least one hard nip zone, in which nip zone at least one surface pressing the web is arranged as a hard matte-surface rough surface manufactured to have an Ra roughness of 0.2 to 1.0 ⁇ m, preferably an Ra roughness of 0.4 to 0.6 ⁇ m, in order to calender the fibrous web to be mattelike.
  • Paper and board are available in a wide variety of types and can be divided according to basis weight in two grades: papers with a single ply and a basis weight of 25 - 300 g/m 2 and boards manufactured in multi-ply technology and having a basis weight of 150 - 600 m/m 2 . It should be noted that the borderline between paper and board is flexible since board grades with lightest basis weights are lighter than the heaviest paper grades. Generally speaking, paper is used for printing and board for packaging.
