Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method and apparatus for making a coated fibre web, such as a paper or board web.
  • the method and paper or board machine according to the invention may be applied very largely to the manufacture of such different paper and board grades, where the conventional method would improve the quality of the paper or board by pre-coating.
  • Typical such writing and printing papers are fine grade paper, LWC base paper or improved newsprint, which as such are known to the professional in the field. Coating of various board grades has also increased in recent years. However, in the following the invention will be described mainly in connection with fine grade paper, but without limiting the invention hereto in any way.
  • fine grade paper means uncoated fine grade paper and coated fine grade paper.
  • the grammage of uncoated fine grade paper is usually 40-230 g/m 2 , while of coated fine grade paper it is 60-250 g/m 2 .
  • the typical pulp for making fine grade paper includes chemical fibre: short fibre obtained e.g. from birch and eucalyptus wood, and to this is usually added long-fibred material obtained from softwood.
  • the share of mechanical pulp is usually less than 10%.
  • About 15-30% of filler is added to the pulp, and the filler may be stone, calcium carbonate, kaolin and/or other suitable mineral pigments. Lately, makers of fine grade paper have also begun using more and more recycling fibre.
  • the method and paper machine according to the invention may be used advantageously for making paper equivalent to pre-coated fine grade paper.
  • traditional pre-coating is used with a view of providing the web surface with certain properties advantageous in the further treatment of the web.
  • properties are e.g. the desired surface porosity and pore size distribution along with the desired oil absorption level, e.g. measuring with the Cobb-Unger method.
  • the degree of pigment coverage is also one property which should be observed.
  • the invention may also be advantageously applied to paper grades containing mechanical pulp, which are coated in the final stage of the manufacturing process.
  • LWC and MWC are typical such paper grades.
  • a better printing surface than before is more and more often demanded of boards.
  • the invention offers good possibilities in this regard without any expensive investments in the dry end of the board machine.
  • the invention also offers an advantageous solution to improve the printing characteristics of the webs forming the surface layers of multi-layer board.
  • the inter-laminar strength of multi-layer board can also be improved by supplying e.g. starch on to the web surfaces.
  • the short circulation and the other pulp system is usually constructed in such a way that it mixes the fibres, fillers, fines and additives into a pulp as homogenous as possible to be supplied to the headbox of the paper or board machine. It is also known in multi-layer web formation to use several separate pulp systems in order to supply different fibre suspensions to either one headbox or more headboxes. The headbox spreads the resulting pulp suspension evenly on to the wire section, where dewatering and couching of the web will begin.
  • the state of the art knows several wire sections or formers of various types which are known as such to the professional in the field; Fourdrinier wires, hybrid formers and jaw formers. Board machines may even have several wire units.
  • the most advantageous former is the jaw former, wherein a lip discharge formed by the headbox is run in between two wires and most of the water is removed in between the said wires in two directions.
  • An advantageous jaw former solution was described in the paper L. Verkasalo: Efficient Forming at High Speeds, XI Valmet Paper Technology Days 1998.
  • it is possible only in part to control the fibre and filler distribution in the thickness direction of the web e.g. by the location of the former's dewatering elements and by negative pressures. Fillers often enrich on web surfaces in the dewatering stage.
  • Multi-layer headboxes are known as such in the state of the art, one of which is presented e.g. in the paper M. Odell: Multilayering, Method or Madness?, XI Valmet Paper Technology Days 1998 and one of which was also described in the paper P. Ahonen: Challenges for Digital Printing Paper, XI Valmet Paper Technology Days 1998.
  • desired layer structures are brought about in the web by feeding the layered pulp into the space between wires.
  • several different headboxes and wire units have been used instead of a multi-layer headbox in order to bring about a layered structure.
  • the drying section is usually formed by a conventional drying section using single and/or two wire transfer, by which drying mainly takes place as cylinder drying as the wire presses the web against a heated cylinder surface.
  • the use of single-wire transfer through the entire drying section has increased with high running speeds.
  • PCT/FI98/00945 proposes a combination of blowing-on with cylinder drying in order to achieve a higher evaporation speed and a shorter drying section.
  • the paper web is guided from the drying section to a pre-calender, which in the known solutions may be a calender with a hard or soft nip, wherein the paper web is guided from the nip between rolls in order to achieve a smooth paper web surface.
  • the pre-calender is also used for fastening loose fibres or other pulp components to the web surface, but at the same time possibly also causing density differences in the base paper and losing web bulkiness, which is important to many grades. Pre-calendering is especially important before the web is coated when using blade coating to avoid so-called blade lines.
  • the web surfaces are pre-coated with a starch or pigment solution after the drying section or after pre-calendering, for example, using an applying device of the film size press type marketed under Metso Paper, Inc.'s trademark OptiSizerTM.
  • pre-coating is typically done on both sides of the web at the same time, but the web surfaces may also be pre-coated separately in successive units.
  • the paper web is then dried using infra driers and airborne web driers and a short bank of cylinders following after these.
  • the web is surface-coated by blade, roll or jet coating units known as such in the art, and it is dried using infra and air-borne web driers as well as cylinder drying.
  • the dried paper or board web is reeled, whereupon a multi-nip calender follows, which is used to give the paper or board the desired grade of smoothness and gloss. On-line calendering has also become more widely used lately.
  • a calender and reel-up often follows after the drying section.
  • An unwinder then follows, from which the web is guided to an off-line coating station.
  • pre-coating of one side of the paper web is first performed, whereupon the drying section follows, and then the other side of the paper web is pre-coated, whereupon the drying section follows.
  • the resulting pre-coated web is finally coated with other coating layers and the web is then dried and reeled. Unwinding then follows as well as calendering and reeling of the web.
  • the final machine after the drying section may thus be an on-line or an off-line machine.
  • the paper Before coating, the paper may thus be very porous, as is known in the art, so after dewatering and drying treatments the paper web must be pre-coated before the actual surface coating. This also means that the paper web must be dried after pre-coating, so that the coating proper can be added to the paper web surface. The equipment and web transfers needed for these steps add considerably to the length of the fine grade paper manufacturing line.
  • This double coating, that is, pre-coating and actual surface coating, of fine grade paper has aimed at achieving a coated paper surface, which is physically and visually even, as a printing basis.
  • the most important task of the pre-coating in the said coating process is suitably to diminish pores existing in the surface structure of the base paper or board, so that the surface coating will remain on the surface and will not sink into the paper or board structure. If the coating is distributed very unevenly in the paper or board surface, then the paper or board will be uneven even after it has been surface-coated, and it may have e.g. gloss spottiness or other visual faults. E.g. with a film transfer technique it is possible to achieve an even surface-coating layer and thus good coverage, which is a desirable property especially in the pre-coating stage, because an even pre-coating is a precondition for an even surface coating.
  • a size press or a coater of the film transfer type is thus generally used for pre-coating of the web.
  • surface size or some equivalent coating material is supplied as an aqueous solution on to both sides of the paper web in one or two steps with the purpose to bind fines and fibres into the web surface and thus bring about favourable conditions for a possible following coating.
  • a separate pre-coater is thus used, it is a problem that the length of the paper or board machine or of the coating line increases. This adds to the investment costs of both the machine itself and also of the building. Lack of space in renewals may actually prevent introduction of new technology.
  • FI patent application 981330 presents an integrated paper machine, which may be used for making paper of a good quality and with a high coefficient of efficiency at a speed in excess of 2000 m/min and which is shorter than the paper machine of today.
  • FI patent application 981331 presents a paper machine intended especially for making such paper, which has copying paper properties as well as good gloss and suitable porosity for color powder printing.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of traditional paper according to the known state of the art.
  • the present-day surface sizing of base paper 1 for fine grade paper typically uses pastes of a low dry matter content (8-12%), in order to ensure penetration of the coating paste through the paper; this means, that the size pressed into the paper from different sides must “meet” in the middle of the paper and form a bond 2 increasing the strength of the paper.
  • the purpose of using a paste with a low dry matter content (8-12%) is to lower the viscosity of the coating paste to be applied. With the present-day technique this is necessary to achieve sufficient strength characteristics, because when increasing the dry matter content of the paste the size will remain in the surface layers of the paper and desired bonds are not formed in the internal parts of the paper or board.
  • the paper to be produced has multi-use characteristics (copying, ink-jet).
  • additive and filler layering into the pulp is used in a multi-layer headbox and admixing of additives or fillers into the pulp is used in a single-layer headbox, which replaces the state-of-the-art pre-coating to be performed in the finishing section.
  • the pulp can be divided into three different pulp flows for the body or base layer, that is, for the base paper's or board's surface layers and middle layer, whereby the desired additives and fillers are conducted into each, especially starch to bring about layer structures of different kinds.
  • the additive and filler may be supplied from several different points or in several different steps into the pulp flow. According to an advantageous application of the invention, fines may also be added.
  • fibre layering may advantageously be used in connection with the invention, where the fibre pulp is separated for the surface and middle layers of the base paper or board separately, so that a fibre pulp of the desired type is led into the surface layer of the base paper or board, or correspondingly, into the middle layer of the base paper or board.
  • retention matter known in the state of the art may be used to bind the filler and fines into the surface, which will prevent them from moving away together with the water from the surface layers of the paper or board. The retention matter may also be supplied layer-wise.
  • pre-coating is integrated in the first part of the paper or board machine and additives and fillers are led into the web surface immediately in the early stage of the web manufacture.
  • a sufficiently small pore size is achieved in the surface of the body or base layer, that is, the base paper or board, so that the actual surface-coating paste, preferably a surface-sizing paste, to be applied stays in the surface of the base paper or board.
  • an advantageous surface for a printing process is also achieved, from which printing color will not penetrate deeply into the web.
  • such a pore size can be achieved in the paper or board, which is ⁇ fraction (1/10) ⁇ of its original value.
  • An optimum surface sizing coverage is attained, when the pores in the surface of the base paper or board are so small that surface sizing will not penetrate into them and thus remains on the surface.
  • This is achieved by adding the additives and fillers into the pulp flows even before the headbox, and advantageously by using at the same time fibre layering and possibly by adding fines into the pulp flows to be supplied into the surface layers of the base paper or board.
  • the paper or board machine according to the invention wherein pre-coating is replaced by an additive and filler layering technique into the pulp flows of the headbox, includes a multi-layer headbox, a jaw former, a press section, a drying section, a surface-coating station/stations and a multi-nip calender and a reeler.
  • short circulation and a headbox can be applied, which allows layering of additives, fillers and/or fines.
  • pulp supply arrangement advantageous for application in the invention is presented in FI Patent 92729.
  • the fillers, fines and additives can also-be supplied only in the headbox itself.
  • One such arrangement is described in printed patent specification EP 824157.
  • Short circulation arrangements may be generally known already as such in the state of the art, but it is especially advantageous in connection with the invention to apply such a short circulation marketed by Metso Paper, Inc. under the trademark OptiFeedTM, which is described e.g. in FI Patent 103676.
  • OptiFeedTM By using the OptiFeedTM arrangement pulp volumes are minimized in the short circulation, for which reason e.g. grade exchange can be made quickly on a paper or board machine according to our invention without any long troubles e.g. in pulp proportioning.
  • the former used is preferably a jaw former, which allows higher speeds than formers of other types and a possibility to perform dewatering bilaterally, whereby a symmetrical paper is obtained.
  • One such jaw former is e.g. the wire section marketed under Metso Paper, Inc.'s trademark OptiFormerTM or a former of a corresponding type, which is described in the mentioned paper L. Verkasalo: Efficient Forming at High Speeds, XI Valmet Paper Technology Days 1998.
  • the invention makes no special demands on the drying section, but it is possible in connection with the invention to apply known state-of-the-art drying solutions, e.g. a drying section applying single-wire transfer, with which on-blowing can also be combined in order to achieve drying efficiency, profiling or a swift grade exchange.
  • a drying section is presented e.g. in the international patent application PCT/FI98/00945.
  • With paper grades in particular it is advantageous to use the drying section marketed under Metso Paper, Inc.'s trademark OptiDryTM or a drying section of a similar type.
  • pre-calendering may be used on the drying section, which is presented e.g. in FI Patent 104434, wherein calendering drying against a cylinder is presented.
  • pre-calendering may also be performed between two rolls. When needed, pre-calendering can of course be done traditionally after the drying section.
  • a coating station e.g. a blade coater, or a coater of the jet
  • film transfer or spray type is used in the coating.
  • the coating matter is transferred freely on to the web surface either as a coherent jet or as a spray, or the coating is applied by a roll.
  • the coater marketed by Metso Paper, Inc. under the tradename OptiCoat JetTM or a coater of a corresponding type.
  • the web may be coated supported by a belt. Supported coating is presented e.g. in Metso Paper, Inc.'s Finnish patent FI 101489 and in article 1998 Coating/Paper Machine Makers Conference, TAPPI Proceedings.
  • the drying after surface coating may be started by non-contact drying, e.g. by using the drier marketed by Metso Paper, Inc. under the tradename PowerDryTM or a drier of a corresponding type, with which a high drying power is achieved and a quick change of drying power when required.
  • non-contact drying may even form the main form of drying, so that the following short bank of cylinders after it mainly functions as a driving bank.

  • the paper or board machine according to the invention includes no pre-coating unit, therein differing from the state of the art. According to an advantageous application of the invention, neither is a surface sizing unit needed, nor preferably any pre-calender.
  • the need for post-drying is reduced essentially in comparison with the traditional post-drying section.
  • the dry matter content of the coating paste can be increased highly, e.g. to about 20%, and assuming that the base paper is dry when arriving in the surface-coating section, the post-drying section can be shortened to one-half of its present length, because the water quantity to be removed is only one-half of the normal quantity. If one-half of the coating paste is layered in the web already at the headbox, the water quantity to be removed in the post-drying section is further reduced to one-half.
  • the need for post drying is only 25% of the present need, that is, only one cylinder bank is sufficient as the post-drying section instead of the earlier 12 cylinders in several banks, instead of the post-drying section.
  • the high dry matter content >15%, preferably 15-25%) of the coating paste, when a smaller quantity of paste (g/m 2 ) should be applied into the web, that the dry matter content is higher after the surface coating section, which results in less need for post-drying and in a better runability of the post-drying section, and when single-wire transfer is used the curling tendency caused by the post-drying section is reduced, when the need for post-drying is reduced.

  • the surface-sizing layer 11 is starch, the dusting problems of normal copying paper are avoided as the pulp starch improves the surface strength as well as the binding of fillers and fines.
  • the surface-sizing layer 11 When the surface-sizing layer 11 is hydrofobic size, a suitable hydrofobic surface is brought about for penetration of the sizing into the paper or board (water retention) and for the important uniform absorption of ink into the surface of inkjet paper, by which the ink is prevented from penetrating too deeply or from spreading out on the paper or board surface.
  • a base paper or board web W has been formed by layering, which web has essentially dense and hydrofobic surfaces 10 and which has been taken through wire section 200 and press section 300 and front drying section 400 to the surface-coating section 500
  • surface sizing of the essentially dense and hydrofobic surface of the base paper or board 1 can be performed in the surface-coating section 500 with a high consistence coating paste, wherein the increased dry matter content has been achieved by a reduced quantity of starch and/or by an increased dry matter content of the size and which penetrates inside from the surface 10 of the base paper web or base board web forming a bond 2 between base paper or board 1 and surface sizing layer 11 .
  • the coating paste is pressed only into the surface 10 of the layered base or body layer 1 of the paper or board in such a way that the bonds 2 in direction z of the paper or board are brought about in the internal parts of the paper or board in between the layered base or body layer 1 and the layers of chemicals 11 applied from the surface.
  • the surface-coating layer 11 extends only to a part of the thickness of the base paper or board web and it forms a bond 2 in between the base paper or board 1 and the surface-coating layer 11 .
