Definitions

  • the invention relates to a twin-wire former of a machine for producing a fibrous web, in particular a paper or board web, from at least one pulp suspension, with two continuous endless screens, of which the first wire runs over a peripheral region of a forming roll and the second wire over a peripheral region of a breast roll
  • the two sieves then converge in the area of the forming roller to form a wedge-shaped material inlet gap, which receives the pulp suspension directly from a headbox, and subsequently form a twin-wire section, which is arranged at least one downstream of the forming wire in the wire loop direction.
  • Having a plurality of negative pressure zones at least partially acted upon by negative pressure and comprising a plurality of forming elements forming unit having a curved working surface.
  • twin-wire former is for example from the PCT application WO 99/60205 A1 known.
  • the published patent application DE-OS 22 14 279 and the PCT application WO 95/34713 A1 in each case a twin-wire former of a machine for producing a paper web from at least one pulp suspension, with two continuous endless screens, of which the first wire runs over a peripheral region of a forming roller and the second wire runs over a peripheral region of a breast roll and the two sieves thereafter to form a wedge-shaped Stoffeinlaufspalts that receives the pulp suspension directly from a headbox, converge in the field of Formierwalze and then form a Doppelsiebnote, the at least one of the forming roller Having in downstream direction of the wire, at least partially subjected to negative pressure and comprising a plurality of forming elements forming unit having a curved working surface.
  • the multi-zone forming unit is arranged downstream of the forming roller at its wire discharge point of the two wires of the same in the wire-running direction at a distance which assumes a value in the range of 0 to 70 mm.
  • a twin-wire former disclosed in the three documents cited is referred to in the art as a scroll blade gap former.
  • a large amount of water is dewatered on the forming roller, which is thrown off after the Siebablauf of the forming roller from the roll shell.
  • This results in disadvantageous manner by the Registerwalzen consequently, the formation disturbances and stripes in the produced fibrous web, in particular paper or board web, can produce.
  • dewatering on the forming roll may be too intense for some varieties.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved twin-wire former of the type mentioned above, which avoids the disadvantages and problems of known twin-wire former and also slows down the dewatering of the fibrous web while avoiding the known sensitivity of the blotter former Blatterer and designed gentler.
  • this object is achieved in a twin-wire former according to the type mentioned above in that the forming unit of the forming roller is arranged at its Siebablauftician of at least one sieve of the same directly downstream in the wire direction at a distance and that the distance between the Siebablauftician and the first forming element of the forming unit a value in the range of 50 to 150 mm, preferably from 80 to 110 mm, assumes. In this case, of course, both screens run off at a common Siebablauftician of the forming roller.
  • the point of impact of the headbox jet is selected so that can be sufficiently dewatered in the downstream forming unit.
  • the amount of dewatering on the forming roll should be less than 60%, preferably less than 40%, in particular less than 30%, of the amount of water fed to the twin-wire former through the pulp suspension. This is for example the case when the Siebablauftician the screen from the forming roller and the point of impact of the pulp suspension on the screen have a distance which assumes a value in the range of 0 to 50 mm, preferably from 20 to 30 mm.
  • the twin-wire former can also be operated as a bladeformer without bright spots. This leads to better formation and flatness and a lower susceptibility to transverse profile disturbances in the fibrous web to be produced.
  • the material jet impinges on or after the Siebablauftician, for example in the region of the first bar of the first forming element.
  • the forming roller has a plurality, preferably two, from the beginning of the twin-wire section to at least its apex extending and preferably individually adjustable suction zones and if the last suction zone a Sealing strip which lies under a the circumferential surface of the forming roller beschabenden Abdichtschaber.

  • This first vacuum zone of the forming unit can advantageously also evacuate the at least one suction zone of the forming roller located downstream of the first suction zone.
  • the vacuum zone of the forming unit following the first vacuum zone can also be designed as preferably individually adjustable vacuum zones. This type of aspiration supports and ensures the previously mentioned improved, gentle and effective dewatering of the fibrous web to be produced.
  • the area between the sieve discharge point and the first forming element is selectively and individually adjustable with negative pressure in the range from 0.01 to 0.15 bar, preferably from 0.01 to 0.05 bar.
  • the first forming element has a lower wall directed towards the forming roller.
  • a channel between the forming roller and the first forming element is formed, which assumes a preferably constant channel height in the range of 1 to 35 mm, preferably from 5 to 10 mm.
  • a reinforcement of the negative pressure of the fibrous web to be produced results according to the further embodiment, that the further forming elements of the first vacuum zone of the forming unit are provided on the outlet side with guide elements directed towards the forming roller, in particular guide plates. Moreover, the white water emerging on the fibrous web to be produced is discharged reliably and favorably via the vertex of the forming roller through these directional guide elements.
  • this is provided with a curved working surface with openings of any shape, preferably with holes or machine-width slots.
  • the holes can be arranged arbitrarily or according to a pattern and have the same or different diameters.
  • the machine width slots may have the same or different sizes and / or spacings.
  • further elements for improving the formation on the opposite side of the twin-wire section are arranged between the forming elements of the forming unit arranged in the direction of wire flow.
  • an element for improving the formation is arranged on the opposite side of the twin-wire section.
  • the single element for improving the formation is a preferably sectionally adjustable forming strip or an element for generating a pressure pulse, but also other types of elements are possible.
  • the forming unit are followed by further forming and dewatering units in the direction of the wire feed.
