  • TAD through-air-drying
  • Impulse drying of a paper web is disclosed in e g SE-B-423 118 and shortly involves that the moist paper web is passed through the press nip between a press roll and a heated roll, which is heated to such a high temperature that a quick and strong steam generation occurs in the interface between the moist paper web and the heated roll.
  • the heating of the roll is e g accomplished by gas burners or other heating devices, e g by means of electromagnetic induction.
  • EP-A- 0 490 655 there is disclosed the production of a paper web, especially soft paper, where the paper simultaneously with impulse drying is given an embossed surface.
  • This embossment is made by pressing a pattern into the paper from one or both sides against a hard holder-on. This gives a compression of the paper and by this a higher density in certain portions just opposite the impressions and a lower density in the intermediate portions.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device for producing a paper that has been dried at a high temperature in a press nip and having a three-dimensional pattern, e g a soft paper intended as toilet paper, kitchen rolls, paper handkerchiefs, table napkins and other wiping material, and where the paper besides a high bulk and a high softness also has a high extensibility.
  • the angular distance , with respect to the heated roll, between the press nip and the detaching roll is at least 45 °, preferably at least 60°, at which the paper web is led between the press nip and the detaching roll around a part of the periphery of the heated roll in order to provide an after-drying of the paper web while this is still in contact with the three-dimensional pattern of the roll.
  • the detaching roll is according to an embodiment of the inventtion heated.

  • the surface temperature should of course not be so high the paper web is damaged.
  • An appropriate temperature should be in the interval 100-400 °C, preferably 150-350 °C and most preferably 200- 350°C.
  • the press nip also comprises a press shoe 14 or a counter roll.
  • the press nip may be a common roll nip or a so called extended press nip in order to provide a more effective drying of the paper web.

  • the doctor blade 17 can be of any optional type, flat as well a patterned, and the doctor blade angle can be adjusted for providing small or large creping creases. Through the creping the extensibility and softness of the paper is improved. Creping chemicals can in a per se known manner be applied, e g sprayed, on the detaching roll 16, the detaching roll 16 by means of an applicator means 19.
  • the detaching roll 16 can be heated and the moisture content of the paper web when it reaches the detaching roll can be at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, at which final drying takes place on the detaching roll 16.

  • a further advantage with this arrangement is that the problem with taking off the paper web from the pattern roll 13 is solved. Since the paper web is pressed into the surface structure of the pattern roll it can sometimes be difficult to remove the paper from the roll 13. The removal of the paper web from the pattern roll 13 is considerably facilitated by the roll 16, which thus fills the function of both a detaching roll and a creping cylinder. The paper is after drying and creping rolled up on a wind-up roll 18.
  • the paper is given a three-dimensional structure.
  • This can be made as shown in Fig. 1 by the fact that the heated roll 13 is provided with an embossing pattern consisting of alternating raised and recessed areas. This pattern may be provided on a sleeve applied around the roll.
  • This structure is substantially maintained also in a later wetted condition of the paper, since it has been imparted the wet paper web in connection with drying thereof.
  • embossing is normally used for a shaping performed on dried paper we have in the following used the term press moulding for the three-dimensional shaping of the paper that occurs simultaneously with the drying in the press nip. By this press moulding the bulk and absorption capacity of the paper is increased, which are important qualities for soft paper.
  • the paper can at the drying in the press nip be pressed against a non-rigid surface, i e a compressible press felt 11.
  • the band that runs over the press shoe 14 or the like can also have an elastically yielding surface, e g an envelope surface of rubber.
  • the paper is herewith given a three-dimensional structure, the total thickness of w hich is greater than the thickness of the unpressed paper. By this the paper is imparted a high bulk and by that a high absorption capacity and a high softness. Besides the paper will be elastic.
  • the paper can also be pressed against a hard surface, e g a wire 11 and/or a rolf 14 having a hard surface, at which the pattern of the heated roll 13 is pressed into the paper web under a heavy compression of the paper opposite the impressions, while the portions therebetween are kept uncompressed.
  • a hard surface e g a wire 11 and/or a rolf 14 having a hard surface
  • the pattern structure in the paper can also be made by means of a pattern band or belt (not shown) which extends around and is heated by the roll 13 and is led through the press nip 12 between the roll 13 and the paper web 10.
  • the paper web 10 may during the drying be supported by a wire 11 having a pattern, which is press moulded into the paper web when this passes through the press nip 12.
  • the paper web will in this case pass the press nip 12 between the roll 13 and the pattern wire.
  • the roll 13 can either be smooth or have an embossing pattern.
  • the press moulded paper will have one smooth surface and one surf ace with impressions.
  • the roll 13 has an embossing pattern this will also be pressed into the paper, which thus on one side will have a pattern corresponding to the structure of the wire 11 and on the opposite side having a pattern corresponding to the embossing pattern of the roll.

  • a second drying of the paper web takes place.
  • the paper web before the second press nip is not completely dry but has a moisture content of at least 10 and preferably at least 20 weight%. This can be achieved if the drying in the first drying step in the press nip 12 is not complete and/or by moistening the paper web before the second drying step.
  • the paper web is given a three-dimensional structure.
  • the patterns can be pressed into the paper web from opposite sides. It is of course also possible to press different patterns into the paper web from the same side.
  • the patterns pressed into the paper web in the two drying steps are preferably different.
  • a material may be added to the paper web, said material softens or melts in the temperature interval 100-400 °C.
  • Said material can be synthetic or natural polymers with thermoplastic properties, chemically modified lignin and/or synthetic or natural polymers in the presence of softening agents.
  • thermoplastic pohmers are polyolefines such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyesters etc.
  • the material can either be supplied to the entire paper web or only to the portions thereof that are intended to be located closest to the heated roll 13.
  • Paper can be produced by a number of different pulp types. If one disregards recovery pulp, which today is used to a great extent mainly for toilet paper and kitchen rolls, the most commonly used pulp type for soft paper is chemical pulp. The hgnin content in such pulp is practically zero and the fibers, which mainly consist of pure cellulose, are relatively thin and flexible. Chemical pulp is a low yield pulp since it gives a yield of only about 50% calculated on the wooden raw material used. It is therefore a relatively expensive pulp.
  • HT-CTMP high temperature chemothermomechanical pulp
  • Characterizing for HT-CTMP is that it is a long fibrous-, easily dewatered- and bulky high yield pulp with a low shives content and low fines content.
  • high yield pulp is especially suitable for impulse drying since it is pressure insensitive, easily dewatered and has an open structure which admits the generated steam to pass through. This minimizes the risk for the paper to be overheated and destroyed during the impulse drying, w hich is performed at considerably higher temperatures than in other drying methods.
  • the pressure insensitivity and the open structure depends on that the fibers in high yield pulp are relatively coarse and stiff as compared to the fibers in chemical pulp.
  • a further advantage is that the three-dimensional pattern and the creping structure given the paper is essentially maintained also in wet condition of the paper, since it is imparted to the wet paper web in connection with drying thereof.
  • Impulse drying further takes place at a considerably higher temperature than e g Yankee drying or through-air-drying, at which according to a theory, to which however the invention is not bound, the softening temperature of the lignin present in the high yield pulp is reached during the simultaneous impulse drying and press moulding.
  • the lignin stiffens again and contributes in permanenting the three- dimensional structure that has been given the paper. This is therefore essentially maintained also in the wet condition of the paper, which strongly improves the bulk and absorption qualities of the paper.
  • the wet paper web is before said press nip exerted to a creping- or other foreshortening procedure which shortens the length of the paper web.
  • This creping is a wet creping as the paper web at the creping is still wet or at least moist. This wet creping will result in a very fine creasing of the paper web, which is essentially maintained also in the dried paper web. By this the extensibility and toughness of the paper in the machine direction is improved.
  • the paper contains a certain amount of a high yield pulp, said amount should be at least 10 weight% calculated on the dry fiber weight, preferably at least 30 weight% and more preferably at least 50 weight%.
  • Admixture of a certain amount of another pulp with high strength properties is an advantage if a high strength of the paper is aimed at.
  • the invention is however not bound to the use of a certain type of pulp in the paper, but can be applied with any optional pulp type or mixture of pulp types.
  • the paper web 10 can in connection with forming and dewatering be given a variation in basis weight in a non-random pattern.
  • This can for example be provided by forming and dewatering the paper web on a wire, belt or band the dewatering capacity of which varies according to a certain pattern and where the differences in dewatering capacity involves a certain displacement of fibers and by that a local change of the basis weight of the paper web.
  • the basis weight variation that is given the paper web 10 in connection with forming and dewatering is permanented in the subsequent drying step, at which the structure is essentially maintained also in the wet condition of the paper.
  • the paper web has a varying material composition as seen in its thickness direction, in such a way that it at least in the layer(s) that will be located closest to heated roll 13 in connection with the drying contains a certain amount of a material which softens, melts or hardens in the temperature interval 100-400°C.
  • a material which softens, melts or hardens in the temperature interval 100-400°C By this the paper will get a surface layer which contributes in reinforcing the structural stability of the paper also in wet condition.
  • the pulp composition in the rest of the paper layers can on the other hand be chosen for optimizing other properties such as softness, strength, bulk and draping qualities.
  • Said material which in connection with drying in the press nip softens, melts or hardens can consist of a wet strength agent, synthetic or natural polymers with thermoplastic properties, chemically modified lignin and/or synthetic or natural polymers in the presence of softening agents or of a lignin-containing high yield pulp.
