Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for calendering paper in a calender according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a device for calendering paper in a calender according to the preamble of claim 8.
- Belt and shoe calenders i.e. more generally extended-nip calendering, provide a gloss that corresponds to that of a supercalendered quality or is at least fairly close to the gloss achieved by means of supercalendering, but it is difficult to achieve corresponding smoothness.
- the maximum pressure in the nip of a belt and a shoe calender remains, because of a wider nip, lower than in conventional nips formed between two rolls, for which reason extended-nip calenders are most suitable for paper grades in which bulk preservation is of high significance. Extended-nip calendering has been found to be particularly good in calendering of low-gloss (under 40 % Hunter) paper grades. If clearly higher gloss is desired and required, the nip pressure provided by an extended-nip calender is not in itself sufficient to form gloss.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a novel method and a device for calendering paper, by which method and device the drawbacks associated with the state of the art are avoided and which method and device provide an improved calendering result with respect to the prior art.
- the method according to the invention is mainly characterized by the feature of the characterizing part of claim 1.
- the device according to the invention is in turn characterized by the feature of the characterizing part of claim 8.
- the invention provides a number of advantages over the prior art and of these advantages, for example, the following can be stated in this connection.
- the properties of an extended-nip calender and a conventional calender provided with a roll nip have been combined in the invention, with the result that, in particular when an extended and low-pressure nip is used as the first nip of the calender, such an extended and low-pressure nip makes it possible to heat, plasticize and suitably mould the paper before the subsequent roll nip.
- bulk of the paper can be preserved without compromising other quality characteristics.
- a bulk saving of even about 7 % can be achieved as compared with conventional supercalendering.
- the achieved benefit is based on longer nip dwell time and on higher calendering temperatures.
- the calendering process is usually a rather "violent" operation towards the paper, but especially when a calendering nip extended in the manner according to the invention is used as the first nip of the calender in particular, it does not put so great stress on the paper as conventional roll nips, with the result that the structure of the paper does not suffer in calendering.
- the strength properties of the paper can be kept good.
- the arrangement according to the invention provides more forces parallel to the paper surface and, by the action of these forces parallel to the surface as well as by the action of plasticization of the web, the smoothness of the calendered paper also becomes better than that of the conventional standard.
- the calendering can also be performed such that a roll nip is used as the first nip and an extended nip is used only after it, if the process so requires. It is, of course, also possible to use the calender such that only one nip, either the extended nip or the soft nip, is in use.
- the caliper profiling of the web is, however, performed by means of the roll nip.
- the calender shown in the figure comprises two calender units 10, 110, which have been arranged one after the other with respect to the running direction of a paper web W.
- the calender comprising the two calender units 10, 110 shown in the figure is used in the case where the paper web W is calendered on both sides.
- papers of this kind to be calendered on both sides are, for example, fine papers intended for offset printing.
- the invention can also be applied to one-sided calendering of the paper web W, in which connection only one of the calender units shown in the figure is needed.
- papers of this kind to be calendered only on one side are, for example, label papers.
- the first calender unit 10 comprises a calender frame 11 in which an extended-nip roll 12, a heatable calender roll, i.e. a so-called thermo roll 16, and a third calender roll 17 have been fitted to form a stack.
- Said rolls 12, 16, 17 form with one another calendering nips N 1 , N 2 , of which the nip N 1 between the extended-nip roll 12 and the heatable calender roll 16 is an extended nip and, in a corresponding way, the nip N 2 between the heatable calender roll 16 and the third calender roll 17 is a roll nip.
- the extended-nip roll 12 comprises a roll support 13, a belt shell 14 disposed on it, as well as a loading shoe 15 by means of which the belt shell 14 is loaded against the heatable calender roll 16 to form the extended nip N,.
- the third calender roll 17 can be, as shown in the figure, a so-called soft roll which is provided with a soft roll cover 18, especially with a polymer cover.
- the roll nip N 2 between the heatable calender roll 16 and the third calender roll 17 is a soft nip.
- the third calender roll 17 may be without a soft polymer cover so that the third calender roll 17 is a hard roll, in which connection the roll nip N 2 is also a hard nip.
- the paper web W is passed, while guided by a spreader roll 20, first into the extended nip N 1 of the calender unit 10. From the extended nip N 1 the paper web W is passed by means of a take-out roll 21 and a spreader roll 22 into the roll nip N 2 . From the second nip of the first calender unit 10, i.e. from the roll nip N 2 , the paper web W is passed, in the illustration of the figure, by means of guide and alignment rolls 23 - 27 to the second calender unit 110 of the calender.
- the paper web W needs to be calendered only on one side, it is, of course, not passed to the second calender unit 110, but the paper web W can be passed after the second nip, i.e. the roll nip N 2 of the first calender unit 10 directly to further processing, for example, to a reel-up.
- the calender shown in the figure of the drawing also includes the second calender unit 110, the structure and the operation of which are similar to those of the first calender unit 10.
- the frame of the second calender unit has been denoted by the reference numeral 111, the extended-nip roll fitted in the frame by the reference numeral 112, the heatable roll by the reference numeral 116, and the third calender roll by the reference numeral 117.
- the extended-nip roll 112 in the second calender unit 110 also comprises a roll support 113, a belt shell 114 disposed on the support, as well as a loading shoe 115 by means of which the belt shell 114 is loaded against the heatable calender roll 116 to form the first nip of the second calender unit 110, i.e. an extended nip N 3 .
- the third calender roll 117 forms with the heatable roll 116 the second nip of the calender unit, i.e. a roll nip N 4 .
- the third calender roll 117 may be a soft-surface roll provided with a soft roll cover, in particular with a polymer cover 118, but instead of this it is also possible to use a hard roll when the process so demands.
- the paper web W is passed, while guided by the guide and alignment rolls already previously mentioned as well as by a guide roll 119 and a spreader roll 120, from the first calender unit 10 into the first nip of the second calender unit 110, i.e. into the extended nip N 3 .
- the paper web W is passed, in the embodiment of the figure, by means of a take-out roll 121 and a spreader roll 122 into the second nip of the calender unit, i.e. into the roll nip N 4 . From the roll nip N 4 , the paper web W is passed to further processing, for example, to a reel-up.
- the paper web W is thus calendered on both sides, first by the extended nip N 1 , N 3 and after that by the roll nip N 2 , N 4 , which roll nip may be either a soft or a hard nip.
- the extended nip N 1 , N 3 as compared, for example, with traditional supercalendering, and the calendering effect is enhanced by the roll nip N 2 , N 4 in order to provide sufficient gloss.
- the caliper profiling of the paper web is performed by means of the roll nip.
- the calendering can also be accomplished first by means of the roll nip N 2 , N 4 and only after that by means of the extended nip N 1 , N 3 , if the process demands this. In that connection, the run of the paper web W is opposite to that shown in the figure.
