Definitions

  • the invention concerns a method for facilitating web threading in a paper or board machine's single-wire drying section, where the web travels supported by a wire from a first cylinder via a reversing roll to a second cylinder, the reversing roll being located at a distance of 10-30 mm, preferably 15-20 mm, from the first cylinder and, correspondingly, from the second cylinder, in which method into a pocket defined by the cylinders and the reversing roll a runnability component is fitted, with which vacuum is produced in the pocket in order to stabilize web travel.
  • the invention also concerns an arrangement for facilitating web threading in a paper or board machine's single-wire drying section, where a web is arranged to travel supported by a wire from a first cylinder via a reversing roll to a second cylinder, the reversing roll is located at a distance of 10-30 mm, preferably 15-20 mm, from the first cylinder and, correspondingly, from the second cylinder, and the cylinders and the reversing roll in between them define a pocket, into which a runnability component is fitted, with which vacuum can be produced in the pocket in order to stabilize web travel.
  • Single-wire draw is often used in the cylinder drying sections of paper machines, in which the web is carried supported by the drying wire through the entire group of cylinders in such a way that on the drying cylinders the wire presses the web against the heated cylinder surfaces, and on the reversing rolls the web will remain on the side of the outer curve.
  • Two adjacent drying cylinders and a reversing roll fitted in between them in a separate row define in between them a pocket, which is limited by the wire.
  • An opening gap means an area, where the web and wire come off the cylinder or reversing roll and, correspondingly, a closing gap means an area, where the web and wire arrive at the reversing roll or cylinder. Airflows travelling along with the surfaces moving at a high speed bring about the result that vacuum tends to build up in the opening gap, whereas overpressure tends to build up in the closing gap.
  • the vacuum brought about by runnability components is similar over the entire area to which the effect of the runnability component extends.
  • the most popular reversing roll in use is a grooved and/or perforated roll, in connection with which vacuum is arranged in order to make sure that the web will remain attached to the wire as they travel on the surface of the reversing roll.
  • the cylinders and reversing rolls are located very close to each other, so that only a very small space is left in between them, a space of preferably just 15-20 mm.
  • the gap opening in between the cylinder and the wire is very close to the gap closing in between the wire and the reversing roll.
  • the bend of the wire under the effect of vacuum is very slight, as the wire travels only a short distance without support.
  • the wrap angle of the web on the cylinder can be made larger with a shorter distance between the cylinder and the reversing roll. Thus, the web can be heated over a longer distance than before.
  • Minor web bend will reduce wearing of the runnability component's seals and will thus reduce vacuum leaks. It is easier to direct the vacuum to a limited area with a small number of seals.
  • the pocket in between the cylinders and the reversing roll is relatively narrow, and in problematic situations paper may pack in between the cylinder and the reversing roll.
  • the vacuum requirement may be 1500 Pa, depending on the paper grade and on the dry-matter content of the web. Threading of the web is the easier the higher vacuum there is in the pocket waiting for the web threading.
  • the published WO application 2007085698 discloses a drying section, in which the web is carried from a cylinder to a reversing roll as a short transfer, and during the transfer the web is subjected to a vacuum effect produced by a runnability component, whose impact area is limited to be directed to the web transfer by sealing of the runnability component to the cylinder surface and, correspondingly, to the reversing roll's surface.
  • the publication does not describe any separate solution to the problems of web threading.
  • the published WO application 2007085699 discloses another drying section, in which the web is taken from a cylinder to a reversing roll and further from the reversing roll to the next cylinder as a short transfer.
  • a vacuum component located in a pocket space By a vacuum component located in a pocket space a pressure difference is produced to attach the web to the wire in such a way that the web's shrinkage in the cross-machine direction can be controlled.
  • seal elements arranged in connection with the vacuum component, with which the pocket space is sealed against the surfaces of the cylinders.
  • one seal element can be fitted in between the vacuum component and the reversing roll to seal the gap closing to the reversing roll.
  • the printed US patent specification 6574884 discloses a blow box, which is equipped with at least two blow nozzles.
  • the first nozzle is fitted at the gap open- ing from the cylinder to blow air away from the gap in between the wire and the blowing device, and the second nozzle is fitted in the wire travel direction at a distance from said opening gap.
  • the air jets discharging from the nozzles will maintain a vacuum in between the blowing device and the wire.
  • a throttling element is fitted, which extends towards the wire and which divides the vacuum space formed in between the first and second nozzles into a first area with boosted vacuum and limited to the opening gap and into a second lower-vacuum area.
  • the blow box of the presented kind requires a large space, for which reason it cannot be accommodated into the narrowest pocket spaces.
  • the blow box functions in the same manner both during a normal run and during web threading.
  • the published WO application 9848109 discloses a blow box, which is formed by two parts, in between which there is a passageway, which can be opened and closed either by moving one part of the box or through an actuator. At the revers- ing roll end of the passageway there is a blow opening, which can be opened and closed through an actuator, so that the blow opening is open during the web threading situation.
  • the device requires a relatively large space and it cannot necessarily be accommodated into the narrowest pockets.
  • the publication presents only arrangements for adjusting the distance of seals and for increasing the vacuum effect, but it does not tell how to direct the suction by limiting the vacuum area.
  • the blow seal at the same time functions as a vacuum producer, whereby it is located far away from the closing gap.
  • the passageways required for blowing on the box bottom further limit introduction of blowing air into the pocket.
  • the device is only suitable for large pockets and it is only able to produce modest vacuums.
  • the invention aims at facilitating web threading in the drying section of a paper or board machine. It especially aims at improving the pocket vacuum before web threading and during web threading, whereby web threading may comprise either tail threading and spreading out to form a full- width web, or threading of a full- width web.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by the features presented in the characterizing part of claim 1. Similarly, the arrangement according to the invention is characterized by the features presented in the characterizing part of claim 5.
  • the vacuum generated by the runnability component is only directed in the web travel direction to the closing gap on the inlet side, whereas during a production run the same vacuum is directed in the web travel direction to a larger pocket area.
  • the vacuum is directed to the gap closing on the reversing roll, it will through the wire also affect the gap opening from the first cylinder.
  • the vacuum in the gap closing on the inlet side can be improved by preventing the air boundary layer travelling along with the reversing roll from being admitted to the gap closing on the reversing roll, for example, with the aid of at least one guide plate, which for the time of web threading is turned to be in front of the airflow in the space between the runnability component and the reversing roll.
  • By using a similar sealing list in connection with both suction openings it is possible in between the suction openings to limit a suction-free area, which will reduce the suction volume and make it easier to direct the suction. In the suction-free area there is no suction in the direction of the runnability component, but there may be suction in the reversing roll's direction.
  • the sealing on the pocket's outlet side can be opened, so that air is allowed to flow out of the pocket along with the wire transfer which is directed upwards.
  • a similar sealing may be used in connection with the cylinders, whereby in between the runnability component's upper seal and the seal on the edge of the suction opening there remains an area reducing the suction volume, which area is brought about with the aid of either fixed or opening seals.
  • the runnability component can in a manner known as such be a suction box or a blow box or a blow-suction box.
  • the vacuum produced by the runnability component can be directed into the entire pocket through two or more suction openings affecting in the web travel direction/machine direction and/or no more than one blow nozzle.
  • some of the runnability component's suction openings are closed in order to direct the vacuum together with the flow restrictions only to a part of the pocket area.
  • suction openings may also be closed in the cross-machine direction either together with restrictions of the cross- machine flow or without these.
  • the seals and guide plates arranged in connection with the runnability component may be mechanical seals or blow seals.
  • the reversing roll may be located eccentrically in relation to the cylinders, if it is desirable to minimize the wire's unsupported length as it arrives at the reversing roll.
  • the runnability component may be located eccentrically in relation to the pocket, and in this way space can be obtained, for example, for the flow leaving the pocket on the outlet side.
  • the reversing roll used can preferably be a suction roll that is marketed by the applicant under the product name of VacRoll and which has a grooved surface and through-holes in the bottom of the grooves.
  • the roll in question is a large- diameter roll, which is connected to a vacuum source and the vacuum effect of which extends over the entire roll periphery.
  • the times needed for web threading are shortened, because the machine running parameters, such as draw differences or the discharge ratio, need not be changed for web threading. Energy is also saved, when the time spent on breaks is shortened. In short transfers the wire bending is slight, whereby seal wearing and the resulting leaks are reduced. It is easy to direct the vacuum to a limited area with a small number of seals.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour faciliter l'engagement d'une bande dans une section de séchage à toile unique d'une machine à papier ou à carton, la bande se déplaçant, en étant supportée par une toile (13), d'un premier cylindre (10) à un second cylindre (11), par l'intermédiaire d'un rouleau d'inversion (12), situé à une distance de 10 à 30 mm, de préférence 15 à 20 mm, du premier cylindre (10) et, de façon correspondante, du second cylindre (11). Dans ce procédé, un composant de comportement (15) est installé dans une poche (14) définie par les cylindres (10, 11) et le rouleau d'inversion (12), grâce auquel un vide est produit dans la poche (14) afin de stabiliser le déplacement de la bande. Au cours de l'engagement de la bande, le vide produit par le composant de comportement (15) est limité de façon à être dirigé seulement vers une partie de la zone de ladite poche (14), et, au cours d'un cycle de production, essentiellement le même vide est dirigé vers une zone plus importante de la poche (14).
