Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for manufacturing webs of multilayer filter materials on the wire of a multichannel inclined wire former and is directed, more particularly, to a novel method and apparatus for producing filter paper for use in air and oil filters which have a high filtration capability.
  • Multilayer filter papers can be made by forming the individual layers on the wires of individual web formers and couching them together.
  • U.S. patent No. 2,928,765 describes a process for the manufacture of a double-layered air filter paper on a web former using an inclined wire.
  • the process comprises the steps of forming a coarse-pored layer by flowing a slurry of a first slurry of fibers onto the inclined wire and forming a fine-pored layer by immediately thereafter flowing a second slurry of fibers onto the wire.

  • the multilayer filter material When the multilayer filter material is formed on an inclined wire and the slurries of fibers for the different layers are applied one immediately after the other, an intermingling of the fibers at the interfaces between the layers is achieved. Due to the presence of the mixed zones, the filtration results of the filter material are positively influenced.
  • the multilayer filter is produced by couching together individual layers formed on the wires of individual web formers, no such intermingling of the fibers between the layers is caused.
  • the porosity grade and the basis weight are chosen so that, as regards the efficiency and the service life of the filter material, optimal values are achieved.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved method and apparatus for the manufacture of webs of multilayered filter material, by means of which filter webs having better properties than webs hitherto formed, and which can more easily be adapted to meet a variety of requirements as regards the capacity, efficiency, bulkiness, lifetime, basis weight etc. of the filter material.
  • the method of the present invention comprises the steps of delivering stock to a forming wire having an inclined wire portion and a substantially horizontal wire portion, and forming layers of fibers in consecutive forming zones in each of which a layer of fibers, superimposed on the layer formed in the preceding forming zone, is to be formed. It is a characteristic feature of the method according to the invention that the top layer of the multilayer filter material is formed on the horizontal or substantially horizontal wire portion such that an intermingling of the fibers at the interface between the top layer and the layer formed in the preceding forming zone is caused.
  • the present invention is also directed to an apparatus for manufacturing webs of multilayer filter material, comprising a web former provided with a forming wire having at leasts one inclined wire portion and a horizontal or substantially horizontal wire portion, and a multichannel headbox in which the flow channels are arranged one above the other in such a way that the upper wall of one channel forms the lower wall of the flow channel above it, said flow channels leading to subsequent forming zones in each of which a layer of fibers, superimposed on the layer formed in the preceding forming zone, is to be formed. It is a characteristic feature of the apparatus according to the invention that a flow flow channel leading to the horizontal or substantially horizontal wire portion is disposed above the uppermost flow channel leading to the inclined wire portion.

  • a headbox 14 is by means of partition walls 16 x - 16 n divided into individual flow channels 18 x -18 n facing the inclined wire.
  • Each flow channel has an upper wall and a lower wall and the upper wall 16 of one channel 18,,. ! forms the lower wall of the flow channel 18 n on top of it.
  • the inclined wire portion is supported by a plurality of drainage rolls 20 x - 20 n , which define a plurality of flat forming zones 22 x - 22 n the inclination angle o of which decreases in the traveling direction A of the wire.
  • the location and length of each forming zone corresponds generally to the location and length of the portion 24 x - 24 n of the wire on which fibers from a flow channel 18 x - 18 n is deposited.
  • each flow channel leads to a flat forming zone having a different inclination angle.
  • the drainage roll 20 is shown more in detail in Figs 2 and 3.
  • the roll comprises a rotatable shaft 30 on which a plurality of discs 32 are disposed a distance apart from each other.
  • a plurality of longitudinal rods 34 are attached to the rims of the_discs spaced apart from each other so as to form a roll having a very low flow resistance.
  • the roll allows the wire to move towards the roll center every time the gap between a successive pair of rods passes under the wire, which causes oscillation of the wire, whereby the formation and dewatering of the fiber layers on the wire are positively influenced.

  • An equilibrium is maintained between the volume flow of stock to the flow channel and the volume flow of white water from the drainage boxes, i.e. the quantity of liquid which is passing through the wire.
  • the quantity of stock which can be applied is limited by the drainage resistance of the fiber mat on the wire.
  • the filter paper is built up of a plurality of layers. Each layer is superimposed on the layer formed in the preceding forming zone. As the drainage resistance of the fiber mat increases from one forming zone to the next, the dewatering pressure has to increase correspondingly. However, as the inclination of the wire decreases in the traveling direction of the wire, the length of Jthe forming zones increase towards the end of the inclined wire. This means that the available drainage time increases which compensates for the increasing drainage resistance. At least a substantial part of the sheet will be formed on the inclined wire.

Abstract

Procédé et appareil de fabrication de papier filtre multicouche sur un moule en toile incliné. Le moule est pourvu d'une toile comprenant une partie inclinée et une partie sensiblement horizontale. La pâte s'achemine vers le moule à partir d'une caisse à pâte à plusieurs voies d'écoulement dans laquelle ces dernières sont superposées de sorte que la paroi supérieure de l'une des voies d'écoulement forme la paroi inférieure de la voie à laquelle elle est sous-jacente, lesdites voies d'écoulement menant à des tables de fabrication ultérieures dans chacune desquelles est formée une couche de fibres superposée sur la couche formée sur la table de fabrication précédente. La couche supérieure du matériau filtrant multicouche est formée sur la partie horizontale de la toile sans que la couche formée sur la table de fabrication précédente ne puisse se consolider. Ainsi, les fibres situées au point de contact entre lesdites couches se mêlent les unes aux autres.
