  • FIG-5 ATTORNEYS Jan. 24, 1961 Filed OOC. 15, 1958 J. BAXTER, JR
  • the invention in general relates to paper making machines of the type in which a traveling forming web is employed in the formation of a paper sheet, but it offers substantial advantages in structure, mode of operation and results over existing Fourdrinier machines.
  • the primary objective of the invention may be more broadly stated as being to provide a paper machine which is capable of producing a continuous sheet of paper of practically matching physical characteristics on both sides thereof, which will produce such a paper sheet wherein the long and short fibers are distributed in such manner as to assure high speeds of operation when the sheet is subsequently used on a printing press while requiring minimum amounts of surface coating consistent with the desired quality of printing, and which is itself capable of operation at desired high production speeds.
  • a particular object of the inventi-on is to provide a paper machine which will operate as outlined above to produce a paper sheet wherein the several constituent materials are distributed within the sheet in desired strata lrelative to the surfaces of the sheet, and specifically to produce a paper sheet having maximum concentration of long fibers in a central layer of the sheet and maximum concentration of ller materials and other small particles along both surfaces of the sheet for desired smoothness and freedom from two-sidedness.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a paper machine of such structure and mode of operation that substantially no air passes through the sheet while it is being formed, thereby reducing the tendency for the formation of craters in the surface of the sheet, and consequently the amount of supplementary coating ⁇ required to produce a smooth surface, as well as alording economies of construction and operation by reason of the reduction in the requirement for vacuum pumps or like equipment.
  • An additional object is to provide a paper machine which substantially eliminates the entrainment of air with the stock in the forming zone, and which therefore correspondingly eliminates defects such as pin holes in the sheet caused on conventional paper machines by the escape of entrained air from within the sheet after the sheet has begun to form.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a paper machine which does not require any table rolls such as are used on conventional Fourdrinier machines to support the forming wire after it leaves the initial forming zone, and which therefore in operation is free of the undesirable effects of such table rolls in tending to pump water upwardly into the lower surface of the sheet on the upwardly moving side of the roll followed by immediate withdrawal on the downwardly turning side of the roll with the resulting tendency to wash the ne suspensoids out of the sheet.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a paper machine wherein the initial horrid of the forming zone may be precisely ground and does not require individual adjustments across the width of lthe machine to correct erratic currents, and particularly to provide such a paper machine wherein the initial forming tone is defined by a pair of moving walls in such manner that the effects of skin friction present with the conventional Vmachles are practically non-existent. 4
  • Anotherimportant object of the invention is to achieve some o r all o f the above results while at the same time providing a paper machine which requires greatlyvre.- **d oor space in comparison with existing machines of conventional construction without sacrificing quality, speed of operation, or convenience of maintenance.
  • a paper machine of novel structure and opcrating characteristics wherein Vthe paper sheet is formed while traveling vertically between a pair of foraminous forming webs under such conditions that controlled drainage of liquid takes place simultaneously from both surfaces of the sheet at substantially the same rates.
  • the two forming webs travel downwardly through a forming nip delined by a pair of breast rolls mounted in spaced relation in a common horizontal plane, and the stock is delivered directly downwardly into this nip from a head; box of special construction which provides effective screening of the stock just aheadof its delivery to the forming nip.
  • a plurality of pairs of suction rous are arranged in vertically spaced relation below these breast rolls to support the forming webs over the lremainder of the distances through Which they traVCl Whl the Sheet is being formed, and these pairs of rolls are progressively more closely spaced to cause the stock to be comparted between the forming webs.
  • Special provision is also made by the invention for effecting controlled drainage of liquid through the successive pairs of suction rolls, and the sheet is conducted away after it reaches the nip of the lowermost pair of suction rolls, which thus also function as couch rolls.
  • ⁇ An additional object of the invention is -to provide a paper machine as outlined above wherein the sheet While it is vbeing formed passes between Successive pairs of suction zones which effect the Opposite sides ⁇ of the sheet simultaneously and which are subject to individual control such that the degree of suction and the ⁇ 'corresponding drainage from the sheet may vary in accord, ance with its desired iinal characteristics.
  • control can be achieved in a paper machine of the lspecific structural arrangement outlined above by individual 'conf trol of the suction and drainage through each ⁇ successive horizontally arranged pair of suction rolls.
  • a further object ,of the invention is to provide a paper machine of the .general structural arrangement outlinedaxis to support the other column and associated rolls in cantilevered position formchanging the forming webs.
  • An additional object of 'the invention is to provide a paper machineas outlined above wherein each of the several suction rolls is mounted in the machine by a pair of end castings which constitute component parts of the frame columns respectively and cooperate with one or each casting in the other frame column includes valve means for regulating the suction and drainage through the associated suction roll, and the connecting members between the complementary pairs of castings are hollow for drainage therethrough from one column to the other.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a ,paper machine having some or all of the features outlined above wherein one or more Vdellector plates may be mounted above each suction roll in close proximity to the associated forming web'for the purpose of dellecting freely flowing liquid onto the surface of the roll ahead of its area of contact with the forming web in such manner Vthat such liquid may be immediately removed to the interior of the roll rather than tending to form a puddle in the nip of the roll with its horizontally associated suction roll on the opposite side of the sheet.

  • the machine includes two sections which are substantially identical with each other and each of which constitutes approximately one-half of the forming portion of the machine. More specifically, one side of the machine includes a breast roll 20 and three suction rolls 21, 22 and 23 which are mounted in generally vertically aligned relation below the breast roll 20 and cooperate therewith and with suitable guide rolls 26 and a squaring roll 27 to support a forming web 25 of suitable forarninous structure, such as a conventional forming wire or a woven fabric or felt web.
  • the other side of the machine includes an identical arrangement of breast roll 30, suction rolls 31, 32 and 33, forming web 35, guide rolls 36 and squaring roll 37. These two sections of the machine are arranged in relatively closely spaced relation such that their respective breast rolls dene a vertically extending nip 38 therebetween, and the two forming webs are thus supported for downward travel through and below this nip.
  • a single headbox 40 is mounted on top of the machine and includes a pair of depending lips 41 and 42 defining a downwardly extending discharge passage 44 for delivering stock to the nip 38 of the breast rolls 20 and 3i) for continued downward travel between the forming webs 25 and 3S.
  • the liquid in this stream of stock is progressively withdrawn through the forming webs by means of the successive suction rolls to form a continuous fiber sheet 45, and since the thickness of this sheet is progressively decreased as the liquid is withdrawn, the successive pairs of suction rolls are located in progressively more closely spaced relation to cause corresponding narrowing of the gap between the forming webs.
  • the lowertnost pair of suction rolls 23-33 act as couch rolls, and the shee-t 45 which emerges from their nip is conveyed to the next section of the paper machine by a felt 46 and transfer roll 47, which may be conveniently mounted as indicated in Fig. 1 below either of the lowermost suction rolls, shown as the roll 33.
  • the return flights of the two forming webs . are shown as cleaned by suitable showers 50 in combination with drip pans 51 to receive the wash water through the forming webs, and similar showers 53 may be employed to effect continuous cleaning of each of the suction rolls.

  • Each of the castings V65-66 is also shown as incorporating a boss or pad 69 which can serve as a mounting for a bearing for one of the guide or squaring rolls shown in Fig. l.V
  • each section of rolls on its pedestal 60 or 62 is provided on'ivts upper end with a short cylindrical tube 70 on which the lowermost casting 65 is mounted for pivotal movement, and the upper surface portion 71 of the pedestal 60 accordinglyV forms a bearing surface for this casting 65.
  • An inlet tube 72 for lubricant s arranged to supply grease to this bearing surface 71, as by means of a conventional grease gun, to oat the castings 65 sufliciently for free turning movement.
  • the other pedestal 61 cooperates with a removable block 74 to support the lowermost casting 66 during normal operation of the machine.
  • the pedestal 61 incorporates one or more fluid pressure cylinders having pistons 75 which in their normal retracted positions lie out of contact with the lower surface of the adjacent casting 66.
  • the pistons 75 raise the castings 66 suiciently for removal of the block 74, after which the pistons 75 are again retracted, and the entire section can be swung sufficiently on the pedestal 60 for removal and replacement of the web 25.
  • the same procedure applies for changing the web 35, in which case theroll section is similarly cantilevered on the pedestal 62.
  • Additional support may be provided, particularly during wire changing, by a diagonal brace 76 extending from the lowermost casting 66 to the uppermost casting 65 as indicated in Fig. 3.
  • the castings 65-66 and cross tubes 67-68 also form portions of the system for removing water from the sheet 45 by way of the suction rolls.
  • the :interior of the pedestal 60 is connected as indicated in Fig. 3 to a suitable source 80 of suction, which for ex- :ample may be a vacuum pump or a centrifugal pump, .and the line 81 from the pedestal 60 to the source S0 ;is shown as connected at 82 to the pedestal 60 and running through the door and ultimately to a conveniently Llocated couch pit 85.
  • the extension 70 connects the interior of the pedestal 60 with the lowermost casting 65, and all of these castings are largely hollow and open .at both top and bottom so that they similarly connect with the pedestal 60 for the free ow of white water thereto.
  • the castings 66 each incorporate means for effecting xcontrolled suction and drainage of white water through fthe associated suction rolls and for delivering such white - ⁇ water by way of the cross tubes 67-68 to the associated Icasting 65.
  • This control means as Well as the general fconstruction and mounting arrangement for ⁇ one of the :suction rolls, are shown in detail in Figs. 5 and 6, and the same structure is indicated as employed for each of the other suction rolls.
  • the heads 90 and 91 of suction roll .22 are journaled in bearings 92 each mounted on a platform bracket 93 on the inner side of the associated casting 65 or 66.

  • a similarly adjustable mounting is provided for each of the other suction rolls as well as each of the breast rolls and 30, for the same purpose.
  • each drive shaft 99 is connected by a universal coupling 100 to a floating shaft 101 which is ⁇ in turn connected by a second universal coupling 10ft-to a power -shaft 102 projecting from a gear case 103 incorporating suitable gears 104 to whichthe main drive motor A105 is connected as indicated in Fig. 10.
  • the rolls on the side of the machine which is vprovided with the take-off roll 47 and felt 46 should preferably be directly synchronized with the press section and other parts of the machine, so that the drive motor may represent the main drive motor for the machine as a whole.
  • the rolls 20-23 in the other section should then be driven in such manner as to be accurately synchronized with the rolls 30-33 so that the forming webs 25 and 35 travel at identical speeds.
  • a convenient manner of accomplishing this result is to provide the rolls 20-23 with an identical drive arrangement to that shown in Fig. l0 but including a separate drive motor which is then synchronized with the main drive motor 105 as by means of conventional electric tachometers such as are indicated at 106 in Fig. 1.
  • a suction box indicated generally at 110 which may be of conventional construction including seals 111 defining the eifectivesuction area of the associated roll, and which may include provision for adjustment as shown in Fig. 5.
  • one end of this suction box is carried by a stub shaft 112 in bearings 113 in the head 90, and the other end is carried by a tubular shaft 115 which projects through the head 91 and carries a worm gear 116 meshing with an adjusting drive worm 117.
  • Fig. 5 also indicates at 118 the adjusting mechanism for the usual deckles (not shown) within the suction roll 22.
  • the tubular shaft 115 also forms a conduit for conducting white water from the interior of the associated suction roll 22 to a connection 120 into the interior of the casting 66, and this connection incorporates telescoping or otherwise adjustable parts to provide for *the lateral adjusting movement of the suction roll with respect to the casting 65, as indicated by the bellows diaphragm '121.
  • the casting 66 is provided with adjustable valve means controlling the inlet ends ofthe cross tubes 67-68.
  • each of the tubes 67-68 is shown as provided at its inlet end with a valve 123 comprising a rubber covered helical spring arranged for controlled compression by a head member 124 which is threaded on the drive shaft 125 of a control motor 126. Compression of the valve springs 123 produces gradual throttling of the flow into the associated tubes 67-68, and when these springs are fully compressed, the valves are closed.
  • the seal means between each pair of superimposed rolls comprises a rubber covered roll journaled at each end in a slide 131 which is movable generally horizontally in a guide block 132, and each guide block 132 is pivoted at 133 in a mounting 134 on the side of the casting 65 or 66 to permit such pivoting movement of each guide block as may be required to locate the associated seal roll 130 in accurately sealing engagement with each of its associated breast or suction rolls.
  • a spring 135 is mounted between the slide 131 and an adjusting screw 136 in the outer end cover 137 for each guide block 132.
  • the seal rolls 130 are therefore continuously urged into sealing engagement with their associated suction or breast rolls, and it will also be noted in Fig. l that one of the seals 111 is located to coincide with each nip of its associated suction roll and a seal roll 130.
  • the sealing means at the ends of the suction and breast rolls include a pair of end plates 140 at eaoh side of the machine which cooperate with a pair of vertically extending angles 141 to form a wall as shown in Fig. 6.
  • the plates 140 are of low friction material and engage the ends of the seal rolls 130 and wear rings 142 of low friction material carried by the heads of the several suction rolls as shown in Fig. 5, the outer edges'of the Plates 140 being cut out'to lit around the journals of these rolls while ⁇ still affording adequate sealing surface.
  • Fig. 8 shows the breastrolls and 30 as fitted with an ⁇ alternative construction of replaceable wear rings 143.
  • FIGs. 6 and 7 show a mounting arrangement which is satisfactory, and which comprises a plurality of rods 144 cach having a telescoping mounting in a sleeve 14S carried by one of the brackets 93 and in a head 146 secured to the adjacent plate 140. Springs 147 and adjusting nuts 148 threaded on the rods144 provide the desired biasing force for Vinitially urging the walls 140-141 into sealing position.
  • the walls .140--141 also incorporate means for maintaining a continuous seal between the opposed outer edge portions of the forming webs and 35 to prevent lateral drainage of water from the sheet.
  • a thin wall section 150 of suitable plastic material such as a polyethylene resin is closed at the bottom and clamped between the angles 141'in such manner as to form a tube adapted to be inserted between the opposed edges of the two forming webs.
  • This tube extends up- -wardly from just above the nip of rolls 23-33 through the forming nip 38 of the breast rolls, and it is filled with liquid to a somewhat higher pressure than that imposed by the stock between the webs. Under these conditions, the liquid pressure within the tube 150 tends to .balance the water pressure within the forming chamber,
  • guide blocks 151 of low friction material may be provided on the inner surfaces of the pates 140 for guiding the'portions of the webs passing from one roll to the next.
  • the end walls 140-141 and seal rolls 130 effectively cooperate with the several rolls to enclose'the space between each pair of vertically disposed rols. Since provision is made as already described for regulating the elfective ow of water from each sucvtion roll, and hence for establishing the desired vacuum conditions in the space above such suction roll, the con struction of the invention in effect establishes a plurality of diiferent zones between the breast rolls and the lowest 'pair of suction rolls and also provides for individual control of vacuum in each of lthese zones,
  • Each of these deilector plates 155 has its upper edge in close proximity to the adjacent web 25 or 35, but the remainder of the plate diverges downwardly with respect to the web so that whatever water flows Voutthrough the web above eachvone of these plates is deflected away from the web' and caused to run onto the upper surface of the associated suction roll well in advance of the line of contact between this roll and the web.
  • the headbox 40 is shown as constructed in accordance with my application Serial No. 732,324, filed May l', 1958 and assigned to the same assignee as this application. It includes a cylindrical casing which extends the full width of the machine and is provided with multiple perforations as indicated at 161.
  • This casing 160 is connected at opposite ends to inlet and outlet connections 162 and 163 which are in turn supported by brackets 164 on the uppermost castings 65 and 66.
  • a mandrel 16S which tapers to diverge from the inlet connection 162 in order to effect substantially uniform pressure discharge of the incoming stock through the perforations 161 over the entire length of the perforated casing 160.
  • the mandrel 165 is supported for rotation on a driven shaft 166 connected as indicated at 167 with a drive motor 168, which is shown in Fig. 10 as conveniently mounted on the gear case 103, and the mandrel carries a plurality of bars 168 of generally airfoil shape in section which operate to maintain the inner surface of the casing 160 free of particles too large to pass through the perforations 161.
  • Such reject particles are continuously removed for further screening or other treatment by way of the outlet connection 163 through which the excess stock is continuously discharged.
  • the perforate casing 160 is surrounded by an outer casing 170 which receives the screened stock discharged through the perforations 161, and this casing 170 includes the pair of depending lips 41 and 42 which define the downwardly extending discharge passage 44 as a1- ready described. As shown particularly in Fig. 2, these lips are preferably extended downwardly into the upper portion of the nip 38 of the breast rolls 20 and 30 so that they deliver the screened stock continuously and directly into this nip.
  • Fig. 1 also shows an adjustable mounting for the headbox to shift the lips 41-42 with respect to the breast rolls, this mounting including a supporting bock 171 for each bracket 164 having a beveled upper surface which receives the beveled under surface of a saddle member 172 on the bracket.
  • Adjusting screws 173 on the saddle member cooperate with the ends of the block 171 to shift the headbox laterally while also raising or lowering it slightly along the beveled surface of the block, and additional provision for lateral shifting of the headbox may be made by means of slots 174 for the bolts 175 which convert the brackets 164 and blocks 171.
  • This mounting arrangement also facilitates Vtemporary removal of the headbox, Iby means of a crane and eyebolts V176, when it is necessary to change the forming websf
  • the construction of the invention in the other parts immediately adjacent the initial forming zone provide further significant advantages.
  • Another important advantage provided by the invention is the effective elimination of entrained air at the forming nip.
  • the sheet of liquid stock effectively leaps from the slice onto the forming wire and breast roll, it enters a zone of relatively stagnant air which produces a backward lag on its top surface similar to the effect of wind blowing across-the surface of a pond.
  • a doctor blade 181 or 182 which is shown as secured to the outer surface of the associated lip 41 or 42 and extends therefrom into close proximity with the top of the adjacent breast roll.
  • Each of these doctor blades thus acts to skim the majority of the windage from the associated web or 35 as the latter moves past the outer edge of the blade toward the nip 38, and at the same time the doctor blade cooperates with'its associated breast roll and discharge lip to provide a substantially closed chamber 183 or 184 immediately above the nip 38.
  • the fines whether they be shortfibers or other small particles, will tend to migrate to the surface ofthe sheet with the initialr water removed, but if'the openingsiii the forming webs areA sufficiently small, which is one reason the invention contemplates the use of fabric form- ⁇ ing webs, these fines will be trapped at the surfaces of the sheet in such manner as to form in effect a filter mat on which the remainder of the suspensoids in the stock will be deposited as drainage progresses.
  • the long fibers will tend to be concentrated in the central layers of the sheet to provide the strongest possible backing for'the line particles which will form the desired smooth outer surfaces.
  • the sheet produced in this manner may be sufficiently smooth for' use without additional coating, but if coating is required fora glossy surface or the like, considerably smaller quantities' of coating material will be needed than inthe case of paper' produced by conventional techniques.
  • Fig. 9 shows a forming section constructed as de- -scribed in connection with Figs. l-8 together with the first press section 200 and ossociated equipment of ⁇ a complete paper machine, the parts in dotted lines in Fig. 9 being conventional.
  • FIG. 9 also shows a convenient arrangement for mounting the guide rolls 26 and 36 which serve as stretch rolls for the forming webs 25 and 35, each of these rolls being mounted on swinging arms 202 and 203 mounted adjacent the forming section of the machine and provided with uid pressure cylinders 205 for supplying the desired tensioning force.
  • Fig. 9 also illustrates in an effective manner the greatly reduced requirements of floor space :for a forming section constructed in accordance with the invention in comparison with a conventional Fourdrinier forming section.
  • a forming section constructed in accordance with the invention requires 50 feet less oor space lengthwise of the machine than a conventional Fourdrinier forming section.
  • the forming section of the invention can be increased in height, in order to increase the effective forming length and therefore the available speed range, without altering its requirements of oor space.
