Definitions
- This invention relates to an apparatus and method for removing fluid from a fibrous web. More particularly, this invention relates to an apparatus and method in which a formed web is subjected for an extended period to increased pressure and temperature such that fluid within the web is removed.
- a so-called "high temperature pressing apparatus and method” in which the paper web is subjected to a press drying operation for removing most of the water from the fibrous web.
- the high temperature pressing technique involves the application of high temperatures and pressure to the paper web for an extended period of time.
- the web to be dried extends through a press which includes an elongate shoe and a cooperating backing roll.
- a blanket extends, together with the web, through a pressing section defined between the shoe and the backing roll (or pressing member).
- the pressing member is inductively, or otherwise, heated such that during passage of the web through the pressing section, fluid within the web is vaporized to force fluid remaining in the liquid phase away from the web.
- the present invention seeks to overcome the aforementioned problem by providing the press member Cor backing roll) with a porous layer such that the high pressure vapor within the pressing section diffuses into the porous layer. Additionally, the porous layer tends to reduce thermal transfer between the press member and the web which further inhibits delamination of the pressed web.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which the press member defines a pressing surface which is porous.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which the press member includes a first and a second coaxial layer with the second coaxial layer extending around the first layer, the second layer defining a cylindrical pressing surface.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which the second layer is sintered and has a pore size of at least 2 microns.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which the second layer has a thickness of at least .005 inches.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which the sintered layer is spray-coated onto the first layer which is a backing roll of an extended nip press.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which a fiber metal felt is disposed between the press member and the web such that in operation of the apparatus, the metal felt passes with the web through the press section and in which the metal felt is heated immediately prior to the passage of the felt through the pressing section.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which a cleaning means is provided for passing a cleaning medium through the metal felt towards a surface of the metal felt contacting the web so that contaminants picked up by the metal felt during operation of the apparatus are ejected from the metal felt.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an apparatus for removing fluid from a fibrous web in which the first layer of the press member is vented.
- the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for removing fluid from a fibrous web.
- the apparatus includes a press member and a blanket means which cooperates with the press member for defining therebetween an elongate pressing section such that the web is pressed between the press member and the blanket means during passage through the pressing section.
- An elongate means urges the blanket eans towards the press member such that when the web passes through the pressing section, fluid is removed from the web.
- a heating means is disposed adjacent to the press member for ⁇ transferring heat to the web so that when the web passes through the press section, the web is subjected for an extended period to increased pressure and temperature so that water vapor generated within the pressing section during passage through the pressing section forces the fluid in the liquid phase away from the web.
- the press member defines a pressing surface which is porous such that delamination of the web is inhibited.
- the pressing surface is cylindrical and the press member includes a first coaxial layer and a second coaxial layer which extends around the first layer with the second layer defining the cylindrical pressing surface.
- the second layer is sintered and has a pore size of at least 2 microns and a thickness of at least .005 inches.
- the second layer may be spray-coated onto the external surface of the first layer which may be an extended nip press backing roll.
- the apparatus includes a fiber metal felt which is disposed between the press member and the web such that in operation of the apparatus, the metal felt passes with the web through the press section, the metal felt being heated immediately prior to passage through the press section.
- the apparatus also includes cleaning means for cleaning the metal felt.
- the cleaning means includes means for passing a cleaning medium through the metal felt towards a surface of the metal felt contacting the web so that contaminants picked up by the metal felt during operation of the apparatus are ejected from the metal felt.
- the first layer is vented such that fluid entering the porous layer passes through the second layer into the first layer.
- the hot roll includes a first, or inner, solid surface, a second, or outer, layer having a porosity of 20 microns and an intermediate third layer of 100 microns porosity disposed between the first and second layers such that the third layer assists in the ventilation of the roll.
- the present invention provides a porous second layer for inhibiting delamination
- the provision of the fiber metal felt may be sufficient to inhibit delamination of the formed web without the need of a porous outer layer on the press member.
- the second, or outer, layer may not necessarily be a separate layer but may be etched onto the first layer or otherwise provided by mechanically working the surface of the first layer.
