Description

Method and system of producing of fiber webs

Technical field

In general, present invention relates to producing 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 system according to preamble part of the independent system claim.

In this description and the following claims by fiber webs are meant for example a paper and board webs.

Background

The fiber webs are produced by fiber web production methods in fiber web production systems, typically in fiber web production lines. As known from the prior art in fiber web production methods and systems typically comprise an assembly formed by a number of apparatus arranged consecutively in the fiber web production line. A typical fiber web production and treatment line comprises a head box, a wire section and a press section as well as a subsequent drying section and a reel-up. The production and treatment line can further comprise other devices and/or sections for finishing the fiber web, for example, a pre-calender, a sizer, a final-calender, a coating section. The production and treatment line also typically comprises at least one slitter-

N winder for forming customer rolls as well as a roll packaging apparatus.

N

S It is known that a fiber web production lines can be hundreds of meters long. = 30 Modern fiber web production lines can produce over 450,000 tons of fiber web z per year. Speed of the fiber web production line can exceed 2,000 m/min and a

N width of the fiber web in the production line can be more than 11 meters.

S

LO

N In the fiber web production lines, the production of the fiber web takes place

N 35 as a continuous process. A fiber web completing in the fiber web production line is reeled by the reel-up around a reeling shaft i.e. areel spool into a parent roll, diameter of which can be more than 5 meters and weight more than 160 tons. The purpose of the reeling is to modify the fiber web manufactured as planar to a more easily processable form. On the reel-up located in the fiber web production line the continuous process of the fiber web production line breaks for the first time and shifts into periodic operation.

The fiber web of the parent roll produced in the fiber web production line is full- width and typically even more than 100 km long so it is slitted into component fiber webs (partial fiber webs) with suitable width and length for the customers of the fiber web mill and wound around winding cores into so-called customer rolls (partial fiber web rolls) before delivering them from the fiber web mill. The slitting and winding up of the fiber web takes place as known in an appropriate separate machine i.e. in a slitter-winder.

On the slitter-winder, the parent roll is unwound in an unwinding section, the wide web is slit on a slitting section into several narrower component webs which are wound up on a winding section around winding cores, such as spools, into customer rolls. When the customer rolls are completed, the slitter- winder is stopped and the wound rolls i.e. the so-called set is removed from the slitter-winder and new winding cores for a new set of new component fiber web rolls are to be transferred to winding stations for winding the new set of the new component fiber web rolls. Then, the process on the slitter-winder is continued with the winding of a new set. These steps are repeated periodically until the fiber web runs out of the parent roll, whereby a parent roll change is performed and the operation starts again as the unwinding of a new, next parent roll.

N Slitter-winders employ winding devices for winding the customer rolls of

N different types depending on, inter alia, on the type of the fiber web being

S wound. On slitter-winders of two drum winder type, the fiber web is guided from = 30 the unwinding via guide rolls to the slitting section, where the fiber web is slit z into component fiber webs, which are further guided via guide rolls to the a winding (support or carrier) drum of the two drum winder and slit component

J webs are wound around a winding core on support of the winding drums. On a slitter-winders of the multistation winder type, the web is guided from the

N 35 unwinding via guide rolls to the slitting section, where the fiber web is slit into component fiber webs, which are further guided via guide rolls to the winding drum/drums on the winding stations to be wound up onto winding cores into customer rolls. In multistation winders the adjacent component fiber webs are wound up on different sides of the winding drum/drums. Multistation winders have one to three winding drums and in them each component web is wound to a component fiber web roll in its own winding station.

It is known from prior art to provide clean/good quality edges for the fiber web by trimming the width of the full width fiber web before the reel-up by cutting in longitudinal direction an edge strip of the fiber web, i.e., removing a trim strip from the wide fiber web by water jet cutting in order to provide desired trim width for the fiber web to be reeled onto the parent roll. One arrangement known from prior art is disclosed in patent publication US7166194 B2. In this known arrangement a water jet cutter for separation of a trim strip from a moving paper, cardboard, tissue or other type of fiber web, in a machine for the production and/or conversion of the fiber web is provided. The water jet cutter is located approximately above a pulper, for the purpose of capturing the trim strip that is separated from the fiber web. The arrangement has also a support plate equipped with a cutout for the water jet, so that it can pass through unimpeded. According to an example of the arrangement the water jet cutter is located in the dryer section of the fiber web production or conversion line and in order to produce clean edges on the fiber web, the water jet cutter is utilized in the unsupported section of the fiber web, for example at the end of one dryer group, and specifically at the end of the last dryer group.

It is also known from prior art to provide a trim strip slitting and removal arrangement for slitting a trim strip from a fiber web in connection with a slitter- winder. In patent application publication WO2009022053A1 is disclosed one

N known arrangement for this purpose. This known arrangement comprises an

N edge strip trimmer and a supporting device for the edge strip adapted at a

S distance from the slitting point of the edge strip trimmer in the running direction = 30 of the trimmed strip, in which the supporting device is adapted in transverse z direction relative to the running direction of the web in the region of the slitting a point on the trim strip's side. It is disclosed that by this arrangement even an

J edge strip with a width up to 300 mm can be cut. In this known arrangement a the edge slit device is based on roller blades. One disadvantage in cutting by

N 35 blades is that the cutting causes dusting and also web breaks may occur.

In patent application publication WO2018236264A1 is disclosed a paper making machine comprising a forming section in which a fiber web can be formed; a drying section in which a formed fiber web can be dried; and a reel- up on which a dried fibrous web can be wound into a roll, and the paper making machine has at least one water jet cutting device arranged to cut the fiber web that is moving in the machine direction such that the fiber web is divided into at least one waste part and a remaining part and the waste part is guided away from the path of the remaining part.

In patent application publication US2002124701A1 is disclosed a movable integral water jet web cutting and trim chute unit adapted for relative movement inwardly of an outside edge of a web travelling in a first direction to cut a strip from the travelling web and to remove the strip, the movable integral water jet web cutting and trim chute unit comprising: a support plate adapted to extend relative to the plane of the travelling web to support the web immediately prior to and after the strip is cut from the edge of the travelling web as the unit moves relative to the web, and the support plate having a cutting aperture; a water jet nozzle positioned behind the support plate aligned with the cutting aperture for directing a water jet through the cutting aperture and away from the support plate to cut through the web and form the strip; a trim chute extending out of and away from the plane of the travelling web from the support plate and having an opening in the support plate downstream of the cutting aperture, the trim chute opening being bounded by a first side edge extending in the first direction of web travel substantially in alignment with the cutting aperture to limit that portion of the web passing over the trim chute opening; and negative pressure means associated with the trim chute for drawing the strip into and

N through the trim chute.

N

S In practice a very common problem in connection with production of fiber webs = 30 is that width of the fiber web on the reel-up does not correspond to width z required based on widths of required customer rolls to be produced on the a sitter winder as in practice used edge cutting devices (trim cutting devices) at

J the slitter-winder typically are not capable of cutting wide enough edge strips a for removal of wide enough trim strip such, that the width of the full width web

N 35 would correspond to that reguired by the set of the customer rolls to be produced. This leads to producing extra partial fiber web trim rolls as the too wide trim strip is slitted by the slitter itself and then wound in the winder. In some cases these extra rolls can be sold, but seldom at a reasonable price and thus this is an uneconomical option. Thus, these extra rolls often are to be stored to be rejected and to be delivered to repulping even though being of quality fiber web. This is typically labor- and time-consuming at least partially 5 manual work and often totally manual work.

In practice mostly the known edge cutting devices for controlling the trim of the fiber web need a support device on opposite side of the fiber web in respect of the cutting device. The cutting devices typically are based on either water jet cutting or on cutting by rotating blades. After cutting the trim strip is typically guided to repulping via a pipe-like removal device, which typically has an underpressure created by an ejector, a shredder blower or an underpressure blower. In these types of devices the maximum of the trim strip is 150 mm, in some rare cases at most 300 mm.

The production line may also comprise a sizer 50 and a pre-calender 60 and a coating section 70. The production line may also comprise a calender and/or a roll packaging apparatus or a sheet cutter. After the sizer 50 drying equipment is typically located to dry the fiber web and also after the coating section 70 typically drying equipment is located to dry the fiber web before reeling the fiber web in the reel-up 80 to a parent roll. In production of the fiber webs from the head box 10 pulp is fed onto the wire section (i.e. forming section) 20, in which water is removed from the pulp by water removal means.

In the press section 30 water is further removed by pressing the fiber web in press nips and/ or in shoe — or belt nips. In the subsequent drying section 40 the fiber web is dried, typically by contact drying by leading the fiber web to run in contact over heated surfaces of drying cylinders. In the example of the figure 1 after the drying section 40 in the sizer 50 sizing substance is applied onto the fiber web and thereafter the fiber web is typically drying by following drying equipment, which may comprise drying cylinders. Thereafter in the example of the figure 1 the fiber web is pre-calendered in the pre-calender 60 and at least one coating layer is applied onto the fiber web in the coating section 70. In the reel-up 80 the fiber web is reeled into the parent roll, which is unwound in an unwinder of the slitter-winder 90 and then slit into partial webs in a slitter, which are wound to customer rolls in the winder. The customer roll may be packed in a roll packaging machine. The fiber web may also be cut into sheets in a sheet cutter.

S section 20 and/or at the end of the drying section 40 and/or in connection with

N the possible drying eguipment of the sizer 50 and/or of the coating section 70.

K Advantageously, the location of the trim cutting device is such, that no > 30 supporting devices for the run of the fiber web at the cutting location is needed i as tension of the fiber web W keeps the fiber web W at the cutting location

S supported. The trim cutting device 100 is advantageously a water jet cutting jo device or a cutting device comprising rotating blades or a laser cutting device.

O The trim cutting device 100 is positioned to a beginning point in width direction of the fiber web such, that trim strip of reguired width is provided to set the width of the fiber web to correspond to that required by the set of the customer rolls to be produced in the slitter-winder.

The trim width is controlled based on information 105 of the required with for the set of the customer rolls to be produced in the slitter-winder 90. The cut trim strip is cut in transverse direction after the longitudinal cutting. The cut trim strip is removed to a pulper 115 or to a reject conveyor leading to a pulper 115. Advantageously, the cut trim strip is removed directly to the pulper or to the reject conveyor by a doctor and no removal pipes or like equipment are needed.

In figure 2 is schematically shown end part of the drying section 40 comprising drying cylinders 41, 42 located in two rows. The fiber web W runs alternating around one drying cylinder 41 in one row and around another cylinder 42 in the other row. As shown in the example of figure 2 advantageously the trimming i.e. the edge cutting of the fiber web by the trim cutting device 100 is performed in the drying section 40 of the fiber web production line at a location, where the fiber web runs between two, following each other located drying cylinders 41, 42 (fig. 2) or at a drying cylinder 42.

In figure 3 an example of a trim cutting device 100 to be utilized int the system and the method of producing of the fiber webs W. The trim cutting device comprises a water jet cutting nozzle 130 creating a high pressure water jet

N 25 135 by which the fiber web W is cut. The water jet cutting nozzle 130 may also a comprise at least one air blower 137 creating an air shield around the high

N pressure water jet 135 to avoid disturbances in the water jet 135. On the

K opposite side of the fiber web W in respect of the water jet cutting nozzle a > suction pipe 120 is arranged for removing from the fiber web W detached & 30 matter, such as cuttings, shearings, fibers, excessive water, in the cutting by

S the water jet 135. The suction pipe 120 has an away from the fiber web W jo tapering form and its towards the fiber web W located end 125 has a trumpet-

O like form. At the end 125 towards the fiber web W of the suction pipe 120 inside the suction pipe 120 may be arranged at least one water flushing means 127 to enhance the removal of the fiber web during the cutting detached matter and to keep the suction pipe 120 clean. In some cases there might be along the run of the fiber web W at least one supporting means 140 for supporting the run of the fiber web W and for keeping the distance between the fiber web

W and the end 125 of the suction pipe 120 steady and as desired.

Advantageously, the location of the trim cutting device is such, that no supporting devices for the run of the fiber web at the cutting location is needed as tension of the fiber web W keeps the fiber web W at the cutting location supported. The trim cutting device 100 is positioned to a beginning point in width direction of the fiber web such, that trim strip of required width is provided to set the width of the fiber web to correspond to that required by the set of the customer rolls to be produced in the slitter-winder. Thus, the water jet cutting device 130 and the suction pipe 120 are configured to be correspondingly movable.
