  • the headbox assigned to the second forming unit is designed as a multi-layer headbox.
  • a short design in the machine running direction can be achieved by arranging the second forming unit above the first forming unit.
  • the second forming unit is arranged essentially at the same level next to, ie in the machine running direction, upstream of the first forming unit. This is particularly advantageous for conversions or new systems in existing buildings with a low maximum crane hook height.
  • the common counter element is designed as a smooth roller. This is a compact, inexpensive and reliable solution.
  • the further press nip is formed by the first press element and a counter roller, the multilayer fibrous web being guided through the further press nip lying between the press belt and a felt belt.
  • the counter roll can be designed as a press roll with a smooth or grooved and / or blind drilled surface.
  • the press belt can be designed as a felt belt.
  • the counter roll is preferably arranged below the first press element. In this case, the press belt forms the upper felt of the double felted further press nip.
  • the transfer belt is advantageously designed to be permeable. It can be designed without a seam as well as with a seam.
  • the transfer belt as a woven sieve or as a belt made of a cast plastic matrix with integrated reinforcing threads or as a metal belt.
  • the metal strip can be heated.
  • the transfer belt is designed with a seam or the vertical chair supports are on the operating side (driver's side) with known insertion devices for the automatic passage of the transfer belt through the loaded vertical chair supports.
  • the at least one suction element to improve the contact and the cohesion of the first and second layers of the multilayer fibrous web, and to increase the dry content of the multilayer fibrous web , arranged. Due to the action of the at least one suction element, the second layer is thus further dewatered by the first layer.
  • the negative pressure in the at least one suction element is more than 30 kPa, preferably in the range between 30 kPa and 60 kPa, in particular between 40 kPa and 50 kPa.
  • a suction element is expediently arranged within the loop of the transfer belt in the region of the takeover point of the multilayer fibrous web from the first forming unit.
  • the suction element can be designed as a suction box or as a suction roller. This enables a reliable takeover of the multilayer fibrous web from the wire of the first forming unit to the transfer belt.
  • the action of the suction element is carried out in such a way that essentially no dewatering of the fibrous web takes place, but only the acceptance of the fibrous web is improved.
  • the vacuum of the suction element is less than or equal to 30 kPa, preferably equal to or less than 20 kPa.
  • the loop of the transfer belt is preferably free of drainage elements.
  • the multilayer fibrous web is crimped onto the transfer belt in front of the suction element in the region of a suction roller arranged within the loop of the first forming unit.
  • the suction roll is immersed in the transfer belt. This ensures reliable transfer of the fibrous web to the transfer belt.
  • At least one stabilizer is arranged as a stabilizing device within the loop of the transfer belt with respect to the fibrous web.
  • the stabilization device can be vacuumed or non-vacuumed. It can be designed as a box and / or as a suction roll and / or as a support strip.
  • the web guide is straight, that is to say without deflections on the transfer belt until it is accepted or taken over by the press belt.
  • the take-off point or take-over point is preferably in front of a deflection roller for deflecting the transfer belt. As a result, the fibrous web is guided in a straight and stable manner on the transfer belt.
  • stabilizing devices is particularly advantageous because, on the one hand, the contact of the fibrous web to the transfer belt is low, since there is no significant dewatering of the fibrous web by means of underpressure or pressing pressures before and during the continuation, as is the case, for example, on the forming fabric. There the dewatering process creates a certain form fit of the fibrous web with the surface structure of the forming fabric. On the other hand, forces occur, such as gravity when the web is guided at the bottom and air friction forces, which can have a particularly disruptive effect due to the lack of positive locking of the fibrous web with the transfer belt surface.
  • the fibrous web lies between the transfer point and the delivery point of the fibrous web above the transfer belt and the stabilizing devices.
  • the influence of gravity thus acts stabilizes the web and presses the fibrous web onto the transfer belt. It also supports the stabilizing effect of the stabilizing devices. These have, for example, support strips which are in contact with the inside of the transfer belt.
  • the course of the transfer belt is thus stabilized, which also makes the running behavior of the fibrous web more stable and thus edge lifting, edge folds and edge tears are avoided.
  • the stabilizing devices can work advantageously both with and without the use of negative pressure. Another advantage is the essentially straight course of the transfer belt between the takeover point and the takeoff point.
  • the course is not exactly straight, but the course on the support strips can experience minor deflections of less than 1 °, this course should also be understood as straight in the sense of the invention up to a total deflection of approximately 10 ° ,
  • the support strips can therefore be pressed somewhat into the loop of the transfer belt, so that a polygonal course of the transfer belt is created.
  • the angle of a change in direction on the support strips of the essentially straight course of the transfer belt is a maximum of 0.6 °.
  • foil-like support strips which rest with the front edge on the inside of the loop formed by the transfer belt.
  • Such support strips also called foil strips, have, viewed in the machine running direction, a surface after the front edge which extends at an angle away from the inside of the transfer belt.
  • foils are known in paper technology and are usually used in the forming area for dewatering the fibrous web. There, the fibrous web has enough water to fill the wedge-shaped gap with water and thus to generate a significant negative pressure. In the present application, however, the dry content of the fibrous web is too low to achieve this effect. However, the inventor recognized that even without resulting white water creates a negative pressure, which can be sufficient for stabilizing the fibrous web.
  • the transfer belt is arranged below at least part of the wire section. This reduces the length of the paper machine and reduces building costs. Another advantage is the possibility of installing the paper machine concept in existing production halls. Conversions can thus also be implemented inexpensively.
  • a plurality of support strips are arranged one behind the other in the machine direction and preferably at a distance of 0.5 m to 3 m, in particular from 1.0 m to 2.2 m, and extend transversely to the machine direction. This version is particularly inexpensive.
  • the support strips on strip holders can preferably be connected via a T-connection or dovetail connection, with strip holders in turn being mounted on strip bodies.
  • This structure which is known per se, has the advantage that the support strips can be exchanged easily and quickly.
  • the material of the support strips can be selected from the following group: ceramic, plastic, coated metal strips.
  • support strips extend at least over the entire width of the fibrous web.
  • the support strips extend in sections transversely to the machine direction, wherein the support sections of the support strips adjacent in the machine direction can be arranged in alignment or offset.
  • a plurality of support strip sections are arranged next to one another at a distance, so that gaps arise between the support strips. These gaps allow air to escape in the machine direction. It can thus be avoided or reduced dynamic pressures caused by drag air of the transfer belt. Dynamic pressures can promote or even generate a disruptive detachment of the fibrous web from the transfer belt.
  • the division in the transverse direction of the support strip sections is preferably constant. In the case of the aligned support sections, it is possible that the transfer ribbon guide is designed to be oscillatable in the transverse direction. This minimizes wear and makes it more even.
  • a plurality of support strips are arranged next to one another transversely to the machine direction and preferably at a distance of 0.3 m to 1.5 m, in particular from 0.9 m to 1.2 m, and extend along the machine direction.
  • the strips can extend between the takeover point and the takeoff point in a one-piece or multi-part design.
  • the transfer belt can be provided such that it can be oscillated transversely to the machine direction, preferably with an amplitude of -20 mm to +20 mm. This minimizes wear on the support strips and makes them more uniform.
  • the support strips are arranged within a closed box which is sealed with respect to the transfer belt and can be subjected to a vacuum of preferably 20 to 200 Pa, in particular 50 Pa to 120 Pa.
  • the seal to the transfer belt can be designed in the form of all-round ceramic strips forming the edge of the box.
  • At least one longitudinal edge suction device for stabilizing the web edges can be arranged on each of the two edge regions of the multilayer fibrous web on the side of the transfer belt opposite the, in particular multilayer, fibrous web.
  • the multilayer, fibrous web is transferred directly from a forming fabric of the wire section to the transfer belt at the take-over point and in the area of the take-over point there is a suction slit within the loop formed by the transfer belt Transfer suction device or a transfer suction roller and preferably a fixing suction device arranged downstream of the suction suction device.
  • the transfer suction device or the transfer suction roll improves the transfer of the fibrous web to the transfer belt.
  • the fixing suction device stabilizes the contact between the fibrous web and the transfer belt.
  • a vacuum of 6 kPa to 25 kPa, preferably 10 kPa to 15 kPa, can be applied to the transfer suction device or the transfer suction roll and / or the preferably downstream suction device. If the vacuum is too high below the ambient pressure, the wear on the support strips and the transfer belt will increase. On the other hand, if the vacuum is too low, there is a risk that the suction slots of the transfer suction device or the fixing suction device will become blocked or that the fibrous web will lift off.
  • the device can be designed to produce a multilayer fibrous web from the group of liner, white top testliner, white top kraft liner or white lined chipboard, comprising a light-colored cover layer and a back layer.
  • the light-colored cover preferably comes into direct contact with the transfer ribbon.
  • the term "light” is to be understood to mean that the cover layer is optically lighter than the supine position.
  • the advantage of this design variant lies in a positive effect on the overall process and in particular in an improvement in the quality of the, in particular multilayer, fibrous web. These types of paper place high demands on the light-colored cover, since it is printed and forms the outside of packaging and must therefore have good optical properties.

  • the fibrous web 11 is composed of more than two layers, the further layer or the further layers being arranged between the outer layers of the multilayer fibrous web 11.
  • the forming units 2, 3 are each assigned a headbox 4, 5 for feeding a fiber suspension.
  • One or both of the headboxes can also be designed as a multi-layer headbox, the composition of the fiber suspensions in the different layers of a headbox being different.
  • the first layer 9 and / or the second layer 10 of the fibrous web have several layers. This makes it possible to specifically influence the composition and quality of the individual layers in the thickness direction.
  • FIG. 1 In the device after Figure 1 is, seen in the machine direction 22, another press nip arranged to increase the dewatering performance before the penultimate press nip 12.
  • This further press nip 14 is felted twice and is formed by the first press element 15, here exemplified as a suction press roll, and a counter roll 17 designed as a press roll.
  • the fibrous web 11 passes through the further press nip, lying between the press belt 19, which is designed as a felt belt, and a felt belt 25.
  • the counter roll 17 is arranged below the first pressing element 15. In this case, the press belt 19 forms the upper felt of the double felted further press nip.
  • the forming units 2, 3 are arranged one above the other and above the transfer belt 20. This enables a short design. Support rollers 24 and / or static support strips for supporting the transfer belt 20 are arranged in the loop of the transfer belt. Additionally or alternatively, stabilizers as in Figure 2 shown and described.
  • a dryer fabric 27 of the dryer section 8 is provided for the direct takeover of the multilayer fibrous web 11 and for the transport of the fibrous web into the dryer section 8.
  • the fibrous web is thus transferred directly into the dryer section.
  • the fibrous web 11 is guided through the dryer fabric 27 via the drying cylinders 28 and suction deflecting rollers 29 of the first dryer group of the dryer section 8.
  • the fibrous web 11 can be provided with a starch screed on one or both sides in an application unit.
  • a pigment coat can be applied to improve the quality of the cover 10.
  • a smoothing unit can be provided.
  • At least one suction element 38 for improving the contact and the cohesion of the first and second layers 9, 10 of the multilayer fibrous web 11 are arranged in the area and / or after the gumming zone 37 within the loop of the sieve 35 of the first forming unit. Due to the action of the at least one suction element 38, the second layer is thus further dewatered by the first layer.
  • the negative pressure in the at least one suction element is more than 30 kPa, preferably in the range between 30 kPa and 60 kPa, in particular between 40 kPa and 50 kPa.
  • the Figure 2 shows a further possible design of the wire section 6.
  • the second forming unit 3 is arranged essentially on the same level next to, ie in front of the first forming unit 2 in the machine direction 22. This is particularly advantageous for conversions or new systems in existing buildings with a low maximum crane hook height.
  • An upper wire 30 is assigned to the four wire of the first forming unit 2. As a result, the first layer 9 that forms is drained on both sides.
  • the sheet structure is symmetrical and the drainage capacity is increased. It is also possible to equip the second forming unit 3 with a top wire.
  • the forming unit 3 In order to improve the quality, in particular the formation and the splitting strength of the higher-quality cover layer 10, it is also possible to equip the forming unit 3 with an eisseur.
  • a suction element 21 is arranged within the loop of the permeable transfer belt 20 in the region of the takeover point 34 of the multilayer fibrous web 11 from the first forming unit 2.
  • the suction element 21 can be designed as a suction box or as a suction roller.
  • the multilayer fibrous web 11 is crimped onto the transfer belt 20 in the area of a suction roller 32.
  • the suction roller 32 advantageously dips in the transfer belt. This ensures reliable transfer of the fibrous web 11 to the transfer belt 20.
  • at least one stabilizer 31 is arranged within the loop of the transfer belt 20 with respect to the fibrous web 11.
  • the stabilizer 31 can be vacuumed or non-vacuumed.
  • At least one suction element 38 for improving the contact and the cohesion of the first and second layers 9, 10 of the multilayer fibrous web 11 are arranged in the area and / or after the gumming zone 37 within the loop of the sieve 35 of the first forming unit. Due to the action of the at least one suction element 38, the second layer is thus further dewatered by the first layer.
  • the negative pressure in the at least one suction element is more than 30 kPa, preferably in the range between 30 kPa and 60 kPa, in particular between 40 kPa and 50 kPa.
  • FIG. 3 An alternative embodiment of the transfer point 34 of the multilayer fibrous web from the first forming unit 2 to the transfer belt 20 is shown.
  • a takeover suction roll 33 is arranged to support the takeover of the multi-layer fibrous web 11 from the first forming unit 2, that is to say from the wire 35 of the first forming unit 2.
  • the transfer suction roll 33 dips into the screen 35 of the first forming unit 2.
  • the screen 35 of the first forming unit 2 is guided away from the multi-layer fibrous web 11.
  • the fibrous web is thus on the upper side of the transfer belt 20.
  • the vacuum in the suction zone of the suction roller 33 is in the range of less than 30 kPa. This ensures that the multilayer fibrous web 11 is no longer dewatered. This does not affect the white of the ceiling.
