Definitions

  • a gas preferably heated, is conducted into the space between the rolls most appropriately before the press nip.
  • a blocking member such as a beam with a triangular cross sec tion may be positioned on the incoming side of the rolls to form a confined space between it and the rolls to prevent escape of the warmed, pressurized gas.
  • suction roll presses of paper machines the paper web is conducted into the pressure zone or nip between two rolls and one of which is a suction roll.
  • the paper web is conducted to the press nip supported by a felt and another felt is looped around the other roll to impact the paper web between the two felts.
  • the lower roll is usually the suction zone beginning already before the actual press nip defined by the rolls. The water escaping from the paper web in the press nip is withdrawn through the suction opening of the suction roll.
  • one roll is a pressure roll having a pressure opening located opposite to the suction aperture of the suction roll to conduct gaseous pressurized fluid into the space between the rolls and preferably before the press nip.
  • This action may be further boosted by heating the air before it is blown out from the other roll, whereby at the same time the upper felt is warmed and the water escaping from the paper web at the press nip is warmed, its viscosity becomes less and water is also more easily transferred into the upper felt.
  • a blocking member which prevents the warmed pressurized air from directly escaping from the triangular space defined between the rolls, whereby the differential pressure is accentuated and better utilization of the heat is also achieved.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view of one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, partly in section and on larger scale, illustrating specifically the construction of the blocking element and the rolls;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the movable blocking element with lath portions for contacting the upper belt and/or the paper web.
  • the reference numeral 1 has been employed to indicate the paper web
  • 2 is a flexible porous belt which is advantageously felt and referred to as the lower felt
  • 3 is the suction roll
  • 4 is a flexible porous belt which is advantageously felt and referred to as the upper felt
  • 5 is the upper roll blowing compressed air or steam, or the pressure roll
  • 6 is the blocking member.
  • the suction roll 3 and the pressure roll 5 form a V-shaped area between the nip and the circumference of the rolls on the incoming side of the nip, the incoming side being defined as the side of the nip through which the paper web 1 passes before going through the nip itself.
  • the blocking member 6 consists of a roll resting against the suction roll 3 and having the same length but smaller diameter than this roll and the periphery of which passes close to the upper felt 4.
  • a triangular space is formed, confined by the suction roll 3, pressure roll 5 and blocking roll 6.
  • this space may also be closed at its ends, but it may also be left open, which may have its significance because in the drying section at all events the marginal parts of the paper web tend to dry out more efficiently. than the central part, with the result that the marginal parts of the paper web retain a higher moisture content in the press section.
  • the blocking element 6 consists of a beam with triangular cross section, e.g., a hollow beam, which has been movably mounted on the bed of the paper machine, and the edges of the beam which come into contact with the upper felt 4 or the paper web 1 having been provided with rotatable rolls or laths 7, which reduce the friction. Most advantageously a small gap may be left between the paper web 1 and the roll 7.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the blocking element 6 with slits 7 through the blocking element 6 between the lath portions 7 which contact the upper belt and/or the paper web.
  • the suction roll 3 has been provided with a suction aperture 8, which extends approximately from the blocking element 6 on the incoming side of the nip to a point slightly past the press nip 9.
  • the pressure opening 10 of the pressure roll 5 is most advantageously somewhat smaller than the suction aperture of the suction roll positioned on the incoming side of the nip and does not extend quite up to or encompass the press nip 9, because in the nip itself water will possibly transfer also into the upper felt and into the pressure roll.
  • heated gaseous heating fluid such as e.g., air or steam
  • pressure roll 5 which discharges through the pressure opening 10 and through the upper felt 4 into the space above the suction aperture of the suction roll 3, whence it is drawn through the paper web and through the lower felt 2 into the suction roll through its suction aperture 8.
  • the upper felt 4 is warmed before its arrival in the press nip, whereby the water on entering this felt is warmed and its viscosity becomes less and its penetration is boosted,
  • the water in the paper web and the lower felt are warmed, lowering the viscosity of the water and thus improving the transfer of water into the felt and thence further into the suction roll.
  • the purpose of the blocking element is better to preserve the pressure above the suction aperture and at the same time to eliminate unnecessary heat losses in the form of heating fluid which is lost.
  • a paper machine comprising:
  • a first and a second cylindrical roll said rolls being positioned to form a press nip therebetween, said rolls also forming a V-shaped area between said rolls on the incoming side of said nip;
  • said first roll being a suction roll with a suction opening

  • a second endless, flexible, porous belt contacting at least the surface of said second roll on the incoming side of said press nip and passing through said press nip.
