- twin-wire draw the groups of drying cylinders comprise two wires which press the web, one from above and the other one from below, against heated cylinder surfaces. Between the rows of drying cylinders, which are usually horizontal rows, the web has free and unsupported draws which are susceptible to fluttering, which may cause web breaks, in particular as the web is still relatively moist and, therefore, has a low strength.
- each group of drying cylinders comprises only one drying wire on whose support the web runs through the entire group so that the drying wire presses the web against the heated cylinder surfaces of the drying cylinders and the web remains at the side of the outside curve of the reversing cylinders or rolls situated between the drying cylinders.
- the drying cylinders are arranged outside the wire loop, and the reversing cylinders or rolls are arranged inside the loop.
- the heated drying cylinders are placed in the upper row and the reversing cylinders are placed in the lower row, which rows are generally horizontal and parallel to each other.

- the paper dries and curls to the dried side and the curl can also be controlled by moistening the other side of the paper by means of a moistening device and by drying it, whereby the paper is straightened.
- FI patent 101987 discloses a method for drying surface-treated paper, in particular fine paper, in which method a paper web is first dried in a forward dryer section of a paper machine by means of several successive downward open single-wire draw groups on support of a drying wire, after which the paper web is finished in a finishing section, in which finishing section the web is surface-sized or coated.
- hot moist air is supplied into connection with the drying groups to suppress evaporation or hot dry air to promote evaporation at desired sites on the desired side of the web with respect to control of curl, so that the tendency of curling of the paper web created in the paper web in the forward dryer section can be substantially eliminated and/or compensated.
- FI patent 105935 discloses a method for drying paper, which method comprises the following stages: a) the paper web that is being dried is passed from a press section to a forward dryer section, in which the paper web is dried from the side of its bottom surface in dryer groups that apply normal single- ire draw, which forward dryer section comprises only single-wire draw groups that apply normal single-wire draw, b) the paper web is passed from the forward dryer section to a finishing section, in which the paper web is coated/surface-sized by a coating/surface-sizing apparatus, dried in an after-dryer section, in which the paper web is dried in at least one drying group that applies normal single wire draw, after which the paper web is calendered in a calender and passed to a reeling station, in which the paper web is wound into a machine reel.
- the curl of the paper web is controlled by means of at least one steam box in at least the area of the finishing section, the effect of said steam box being enhanced by cooling the web before said steam box, and in the method the curl of the paper web is controlled by elements and/or assemblies and combinations formed of said elements in at least the area of the finishing section.
- FI patent 1014808 discloses a method for drying a surface-treated paper web or equivalent in an after-dryer section of a paper machine, in which method the paper web is first finished in a finishing section, in which finishing section the paper web is surface- sized or coated on both sides by means of a finishing device, after which the paper web is dried.
- the paper web is dried in a drying group/drying groups that apply only normal single-wire draw and in connection with or after the drying the paper web is treated by a device/devices to compensate for the tendency of curling of the paper web.
- FI patent 106270 discloses a method for drying a surface-treated paper web or equivalent in an after-dryer section of a paper machine, in which method the paper web is first finished in a finishing section, in which finishing section the paper web is surface- sized or coated by a finishing device, after which the paper web is dried.
- the paper web is dried in at least one drying group that applies single-wire draw and, at the same time, the paper web is dried by an impingement apparatus disposed in connection with at least one cylinder or roll of said drying group.
- One object of the invention is to develop further the arrangements described above such that the tendency of curling of paper can be controlled in an after- dryer section more effectively than before.
- One problem with the arrangements known from the prior art is that the strong tendency of curling of paper dried in the forward dryer section in the downward open drying groups that apply single-wire draw and the stresses produced by it are not fully relaxed with the moistening caused by surface-sizing, in particular when changing to the use of surface-sizes with increasingly higher dry solids.
- One object of the invention is to provide an arrangement which makes it possible even in such a situation to eliminate or at least minimize the tendency of curling of the paper web.
- One object of the invention is to propose a new arrangement for a method of finishing paper, in particular surface-sized fine paper, in which the problems associated with the curling of paper are eliminated or at least minimized.
- the method according to the invention is mainly characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
- the method according to the invention is mainly characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 8.
- finishing section of a paper machine according to the invention is in turn mainly characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 11.
- finishing section of a paper machine is mainly characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 15.
- the invention relates to a paper machine in which downward open drying groups that apply single-wire draw are used in a forward dryer section, so that a tendency of curling is created in the paper web, or in which paper machine at the end of a forward dryer section there are also drying groups that apply twin-wire draw, in which case the need for curl control is actually smaller.
- the paper web is surface-sized, after which the paper web is dried in an after-dryer section of a finishing section mainly by means of contact- free drying; airborne web-drying and/or air drying and/or impingement drying and/or infrared drying.
- the term 'after-drying' is also used of the drying of the after- dryer section, i.e. advantageously at least 60 %, most appropriately at least 75 %, even as much as 90-100 % of the power needed for evaporation of the water amount between the moisture after surface-sizing and the final moisture contained in the web is produced by contact-free drying.
- the invention is also suitable for use in connection with a finishing section of a paper machine which uses cylinder drying in addition to contact-free drying, however, so that at least part of the drying takes place by means of contact- free drying.
- At least part of the contact-free drying is accomplished by airborne web-drying in which the power of airborne web-dryers placed on the different sides of the web is adjustable in order that the stresses possibly not relaxed during surface-sizing and the curling tendency left by them may be further compensated for.
- the proportion of airborne web-drying in the after-drying is at least 60 %, most appropriately at least 70 %, even as much as 90 - 100 %.
- contact-free drying it is also possible to use contact-free drying produced by an infrared dryer without control of curl and to dry, for example, 10 % of the after-drying by an infrared dryer.
- heating cylinders as cylinders of a holding group, in which connection they can be used for controlling curl on the bottom side of the web or only for raising drying power.
- about 10 - 20 % of the water dried in after-drying can be evaporated by means of the holding group cylinders.
- At least part of the after- drying is also accomplished on the basis of impingement drying, in which connection impingement units provided with curl control are advantageously used.
- the proportion of the drying achieved by impingement is at least 50 % of the after-drying, most appropriately 70 % or even as much as 90 %.
- Curl can then be taken into account by dimensioning the portions of the impingement drying applied to the different sides of the web so that they are, for example, of unequal length, i.e. more top-side drying in the after-dryer section for paper pre- dried from the bottom side, so that the speeds and temperatures of the blows used in the impingement units still remain as a curl control allowance.
- normal drying cylinder groups applying single-wire draw are used in which drying takes place as contact drying.
- the web is advantageously dried first by airborne web-drying, then by cylinder drying and after that again by airborne web-drying.
- the tendency to curling created in the forward dryer section can also be controlled at a high speed and when the final drying takes place as airborne web-drying from both sides of the web, so high a moisture gradient cannot be produced in the paper web as in totally one-sided drying.
- the drying of the web from both sides also offers more possibilities of regulation for controlling the tendency of curling.
- airborne web-drying and impingement drying are used in the after-drying as contact-free drying and, in addition to this, normal cylinder drying that applies single-wire draw.
- impingement drying is advantageously accomplished as vertical drying, so that the after-dryer section is easily provided with enough impingement drying length.
- airborne web-drying makes it possible to dry the web from both sides, thus allowing its susceptibility to curling to be controlled by adjusting the parameters of the airborne web-dryers and, when cylinder drying and impingement take place on different surfaces of the web, the web can be dried from both sides and, by regulating the power of impingement, it is possible to control the tendency of curling.
- the method and the paper machine in accordance with the invention make it possible to control the tendency to curling created in the forward dryer section with single-wire draw.
- the after-dryer section thus uses a surface-sizing technique and contact-free drying, of which at least part is airborne web-drying or impingement drying, for control of curl.
- airborne or impingement dryers are used which are placed on both sides of the web and in which the dryers of both sides, i.e. the drying ratio between the different sides, can be adjusted separately, so that the web can be dried in a manner as required by the elimination of the tendency of curling.
- dryers that also make it possible to profile the drying power in the cross direction of the web, thereby also enabling the curl profile to be affected, for example, by adjusting blowing speeds and/or blowing temperature in the cross direction of the web.
- the nozzle arrangement of the airborne web-dryers used in connection with an advantageous embodiment of the invention is advantageously asymmetric with respect to the top and bottom sides of the web, so that heat transfer can be made asymmetric, thus not losing drying power because of control of curl, but the nozzle arrangement that takes into account an assumed basic curl still leaves full curl control power for use.
- Cylinder drying is not necessarily used in the after-dryer section in accordance with the invention, but possible cylinder/roll groups must be placed in the after- dryer section to serve as web holding groups also for providing and improving the runnability of the web.
- the cylinders of said holding group can be used for increasing drying power, even though they are situated on the wrong side of the web from the viewpoint of curl.
- the cylinders that dry the bottom surface of the web can, however, be also used in the control of curl as a control allowance for the opposite side.
- the drying after surface-sizing in the after-dryer section has been arranged mainly by means of airborne web- dryers - the drying accomplished by the airborne web-dryers being at least 60 %, most appropriately 70 % - which airborne web-dryers are placed on both sides of the web, so that the asymmetric drying produced in the forward dryer section can be corrected, when the airborne web-dryers placed on both sides of the web have separate control of drying power, advantageously control of blowing speed and/or temperature.
- surface-sized paper is dried by air dryers which are placed on both sides of the web and in which the temperatures and blowing speeds of the different sides are advantageously regulated separately.
- curl is controlled by a two-sided dryer whose different sides can be adjusted independently of each other, thereby avoiding the use of moistening water and the considerable drying costs caused by it.
- the control of curl in the after-dryer section is assisted, when needed, with a steam box, which steam box can be used, for example, such that if the paper is naturally straight, the steam box is not used because there is no need for control of curl.
- a steam box which steam box can be used, for example, such that if the paper is naturally straight, the steam box is not used because there is no need for control of curl.
- the steam box is used, and if the paper web tends to curl with its edges downwards, for example, the cylinders of a holding group of the after-dryer section are used.
- the steam box is advantageously placed in a position immediately before a reel-up, where the web is colder than in the dryer section, and it is not needed much because drying has mainly taken place by means of contact-free drying.
- impingement drying is used for contact-free drying and with respect to the prior art relating thereto reference may be made to the applicant's FI patent application 20002429 disclosing arrangements for paper with no surface size and to the applicant's FI patent 106269 disclosing impingement arrangements which are applied to the forward/after-dryer section and whose applications can be made use of in connection with the invention.
- impingement drying in which an impingement drying unit is arranged, for example, in connection with a reversing cylinder or a grooved guide roll or a suction roll or a suction cylinder, advantageously a suction cylinder of the type marketed by the applicant under the trademark NAC ROLL.
- the impingement drying units used in connection with the invention may also be so- called vertical impingement units, the details of which are described in greater detail, for example, in the applicant's above-mentioned FI patent application 20002429.

- a vertical impingement drying group 110 by means of cylinders 107 and 108.
- Impingement drying hoods are denoted with the reference numerals 91, 92 and 96, of which the hood 96 is placed in connection with a reversing cylinder 93 and the impingement hoods 91, 92 on the substantially vertical runs of the web.
- the guide rolls of the impingement group are denoted with the reference numeral 94 and the runnability components supporting the running of the web are denoted with the reference numeral 105.
- the exemplifying embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 8 corresponds in its essential parts to that shown in Fig. 7, with the difference that the reversing cylinder VAC ROLL placed in the position 88 has been replaced with a cylinder/a smooth or grooved guide roll.
- the blowing speeds and powers of the airborne web-dryers and impingement drying units can be regulated, when needed, to accomplish the control of curl and, in addition, they may also enable the control of curl to be profiled in the cross direction of the web W.
