Definitions
- present invention relates to treating of fiber webs in a fiber web production line. More especially the present invention relates to a method according to preamble part of the independent method claim and to a treatment system according to preamble part of the independent treatment system claim.
- fiber webs are meant for example a paper and board webs.
- Fiber webs such as paper and board webs 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.
- Mechanical-pulp based, i.e. wood-containing printing papers include newsprint, uncoated magazine and coated magazine paper.
- DIP deinked pulp
- TMP mechanical pulp
- DIP based newsprint may contain up to 20 % filler.
- the filler content of a virgin-fiber based newsprint furnish is about 8 %.
- CSWO newsprint can be regarded as follows: basis weight 40-48.8 g/m 2 , PPS s10 roughness (SCAN-P 76-95) 4.0-4.5 ⁇ m, Bendtsen roughness (SCAN-P21:67) 150 ml/min, density 600-750 kg/m 3 , brightness (ISO 2470:1999) 58-59 %, and opacity (ISO 2470:1998) 92-95%.
- Uncoated magazine paper (SC-supercalendered) grades usually contain 50 % - 75 % mechanical pulp, 5 % - 25 % chemical pulp, and 10 % - 35 % filler.
- the paper may also contain DIP.
- Typical values for calendered SC paper containing e.g.
- SC-C, SC-B, and SC-A/A+ include basis weight 40-60 g/m 2 , ash content (SCAN-P 5:63) 0-35%, Hunter gloss (ISO/DIS 8254/1) ⁇ 20-50%, PPS s10 roughness (SCAN-P 76:95) 1.0-2.5 ⁇ m, density 700-1250 kg/m 3 , brightness (ISO 2470:1999) 62-75%, and opacity (ISO 2470:1998) 90-95%.
- Coated mechanical papers include for example MFC (machine finished coated), LWC (lightweight coated), MWC (medium weight coated), and HWC (heavy weight coated) grades.
- Coated mechanical papers usually contain 45 % -75 % mechanical or recycled fiber and 25 % - 55 % chemical pulp.
- Semi chemical pulps are typical in LWC paper grades made in the Far East.
- the filler content is about 5 % -10 %.
- the grammage is typically in the range 40-80 g/m2.
- LWC paper can be regarded as follows: basis weight 40-70 g/m 2 , Hunter gloss 50-65%, PPS S10 roughness 1.0-1.5 ⁇ m (offset) and 0.6-1.0 ⁇ m (roto), density 1100-1250 kg/m 3 , brightness 70-75%, and opacity 89-94%.
- MFC paper machine finished coated
- basis weight 48-70 g/m 2 Hunter gloss 25-40%
- PPS S10 roughness 2.2-2.8 ⁇ m density 900-950 kg/ m 3
- brightness 70-75% brightness 70-75%
- opacity 91-95% 91-95%.
- MWC paper medium weight coated
- basis weight 70-90 g/ m 2 g/ m 2
- Hunter gloss 65-70% PPS S10 roughness 0.6-1.0 ⁇ m
- density 1150-1250 kg/ m 3 a measure of brightness
- brightness 70-75% a measure of brightness
- Wood free paper is divided into two segments: uncoated and coated. Conventionally, the furnish of wood free papers consists of bleached chemical pulp, with less than 10 % mechanical pulp.
- Typical values are for uncoated WFU Copy paper: grammage 70-80 g/m 2 , Bendtsen roughness 150-250 ml/min and bulk > 1.3 cm3/g; for uncoated offset paper: grammage 60-240 g/m 2 , Bendtsen roughness 100-200 ml/min and bulk 1.2- 1.3 cm3/g; and for color copy paper: grammage 100 g/m 2 , Bendtsen roughness ⁇ 50 ml/min and bulk 1.1 cm3/g.
- WFC coated pulp-based printing papers
- the amounts of coating vary widely in accordance with requirements and intended application.
- Containerboard includes both linerboard and corrugating medium. Liners are divided according to their furnish base into Kraft liner, recycled liner and white top liner. Liners are typically 1 - to 3-ply boards with grammage varying in the range 100-300 g/m 2 .
- Linerboards are generally uncoated, but the production of coated white-top liner is increasing to meet higher demands for printability.
- the main cartonboard grades are folding boxboard (FBB), white-lined chipboard (WLC), solid bleached board (SBS) and liquid packaging board (LPB). In general, these grades are typically used for different kinds of packaging of consumer goods.
- Carton board grades vary from one- up to five-ply boards (150-400 g/m 2 ). The top side is usually coated with from one to three layers (20-40 g/m 2 ); the back side has less coating or no coating at all. There is a wide range of different quality data for the same board grade.
- FBB has the highest bulk thanks to the mechanical or chemi mechanical pulp used in the middle layer of the base board.
- the middle layer of WLC consists mainly of recycled fiber, whereas SBS is made from chemical pulp, exclusively.
- FBB's bulk typically is between 1.1-1.9 cm 3 /g whereas WLC is on range 1.1-1.6 cm 3 /g and SBS 0.95-1.3 cm 3 /g.
