Definitions
- the present invention relates to a paper machine belt and to a paper machine.
- a paper machine for the production of tissue paper is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,393,384 , see particularly Figure 6 .
- the paper machine shown therein has a belt impermeable to water, which runs in a loop through an extended press nip formed by a shoe press roll and a counter roll.
- a press felt is conveyed directly to the press nip, where it is brought together with the impermeable belt and the paper web.
- the paper web is transferred from a forming fabric to the impermeable belt which is to carry the paper web on its under side up to the press nip and thence to the drying cylinder.
- the impermeable belt thus carries the paper web a relatively long distance after the paper web has been transferred from the forming fabric to the impermeable belt.
- the adhesion force between the impermeable belt and the paper web is greater than that between the press felt and the paper web.
- the impermeable belt under discussion here is not compressible and has a smooth, web-carrying surface.
- DE-195 48 747 discloses a paper machine for manufacturing creped tissue paper which is provided with a press comprising a shoe press roll, a counter roll and a suction roll, the counter roll forming a first press nip with the suction roll and a second extended press nip with the shoe press roll.
- a felt passes through the two press nips together with the paper web and then carries the paper web with it to a Yankee dryer, to which the paper web is transferred when the felt and the paper web pass around a transfer roll forming a non-compressing nip with the Yankee dryer.
- Suction zones are provided before and after the first press nip, the suction zone before the press nip being situated within the suction roll whereas the suction zone after the press nip is in a side loop in which the felt runs alone and joins the paper web again at the entry to the second press nip.
- One drawback with such a paper machine is that the paper web is exposed to re-wetting by the wet felt before it reaches the Yankee dryer.
- the paper machine has no impermeable belt, nor does the patent specification mention anything about texturing the paper web.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,298,124 discloses a compressible transfer belt for use in a paper or board making machine in order to eliminate open draws in the paper web and to easily release the paper web so that it can be transferred to a fabric or belt.
- the transfer belt carries the paper web through the press section, which comprises one or more press nips, and on to the drying section which comprises a plurality of drying cylinders and a belt passing in a loop around a transfer roll which forms a nip with the transfer belt.
- Each press is also provided with a felt passing through its press nip and enclosing the paper web between it and the transfer belt.
- the impermeable transfer belt is also so designed that a liquid film formed in a press nip between the transfer belt and the paper web breaks up when the pressure on the transfer belt ceases after the press nip so that its release properties increase and the paper web can thus more easily be transferred to a fabric or another belt running in a loop.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,298,124 offers an excellent description of the tasks a transfer belt cooperating with a press felt shall perform in a satisfactory manner, and also of the properties and design of such transfer belts which then were disclosed in patent specifications U.S. Patent Nos. 4,483,745 , 4,976,821 , 4,500,588 , 5,002,638 , 4,529,643 and CA-A-1,188,556 . According to U.S. Patent No.
- the critical tasks are a) to remove the paper web from the press felt without causing instability problems; b) to cooperate with the press felt in one or more press nips to ensure optimal dewatering and high quality of the paper web, and c) to transfer the paper web in a closed draw from a press in the press section to a paper web receiving fabric or belt in the following press or presses of the press section or to a pick-up fabric in the drying section.
- the transfer belt for the press section of a paper machine disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,298,124 has a web-contacting surface which is substantially impermeable to water and air and has a pressure-responsive microscale topography. Under influence of the pressure in a press nip in the press section, the transfer belt is compressed so that the microscale roughness of said surface is decreased, whereupon the surface becomes much smoother and allows the formation of a thin, continuous film of water thereon.
- Paper machines for manufacturing soft paper with high bulk are known through a plurality of patent specifications.
- An imprinting fabric or felt is generally used which passes, together with the paper web formed, through a press nip in which the paper web is pressed into the imprinting fabric, thus acquiring a texture pattern on one side.
- Paper machines having such texturing fabrics and press nips are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,301,746 , 3,537,954 , 4,309,246 , 4,533,437 , 5,569,358 , 5,591,305 and WO 91/16493 .
- the drawback with the paper machines disclosed in these publications is that dewatering in the press nip is relatively low and the dry solids content of the paper web is therefore low when the paper is transferred to the drying cylinder. The production rate of the paper machine is thus relatively low.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,849,054 discloses a machine for manufacturing an imprinted fabric web with high bulk without the use of a press nip.
- a roll e.g ., a transfer roll or felt-carrying roll, forms a nip with an imprinting fabric at a transfer point for the web where the imprinting fabric passes around a suction tube with a slit opening facing the transfer point.
- the nip is so wide that the web is not compressed when it passes through.
- the suction effect from the suction tube via the narrow slit opening is sufficient to ensure that the web is not only transferred to the imprinting belt but is also shaped in compliance with the surface of the imprinting belt facing the web, this belt having a three-dimensional pattern.
- the speed of the fabric web Prior to the transfer point the speed of the fabric web is greater than that of the imprinting fabric.
- the roll carrying the web to the non-compressing nip has a smooth surface and it is generally known that in practice considerable problems are entailed in transferring a fabric web from a smooth surface to a fabric, which fabric web has been pre-pressed to a dry solids content of 30-50%.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,411,636 discloses manufacture of soft paper where the paper web is formed on a forming fabric, pre-pressed in a double-felted press nip and transferred to a coarse-meshed fabric.
- the paper web is carried by the coarse-meshed fabric it is subjected to a vacuum in a suction zone so that the paper web is sucked into the openings and depressions in the fabric and thereby acquires increased thickness and thus increased bulk.
- the coarse-meshed fabric then carries the paper web to the drying cylinder.
- the double-felted press nip ensures that the dry solids content of the paper web is relatively low, i.e. , 25-30%.
- Document WO 96/00812 describes a web supporting apparatus in the form of a drying belt or press fabric for making a paper web, comprising a dewatering felt layer having a surface facing the web, and a web patterning layer of a photosensitive resin defining a web contacting top surface.
- the web patterning layer has either a plurality of discrete openings surrounded by projections or a plurality of discrete projections surrounded by spaces, said openings and spaces, respectively exposing the felt layer to the web so that the felt is cabable of receiving and containing water from the wet web.
- an improved paper machine and method of manufacturing textured soft paper would enable the manufacture of a textured fibrous web with high bulk and high dry solids content before the drying cylinder to enable a high production rate to be achieved at a reasonable cost. Further, it would be desirable to reliably transfer the textured fibrous web to the drying cylinder although the fibrous web is carried to the drying cylinder by an impermeable texturing belt.
- the invention refers to a paper machine belt for advancing a wet fibrous paper web between a press and a heated drying cylinder of a paper machine, wherein the belt is a substantially impermeable belt which has a web-contacting surface and is adapted to pass with the fibrous web through the press and then carry the fibrous web to the drying cylinder, whereby said web-contacting surface defines a multitude of regularly distributed depressions and surface portions located between said depressions, so that the belt is a texturing belt, forming on the fibrous web an equivalent textured pattern, and that the texturing belt or a layer of the texturing belt intended for contact with the paper web is reversibly compressible so that the texturing belt is compressed in a transfer nip at the drying cylinder and resumes its uncompressed state when leaving said transfer nip.
- the invention also refers to a paper machine for treating a wet fibrous paper web, comprising:
- impermeability or substantial impermeability is an extremely favourable property in a texturing belt, that is included in the paper machine according to the invention if the impermeable texturing belt is also used to transport a pressed paper web to the transfer nip at a Yankee dryer in the drying section of the paper machine.
- the property allows steam which, as a result of heating the Yankee dryer is formed in the depressions or pits in the texturing pattern by the water present in the pits or depressions, to be pressurized, thus pressing the paper fibers also present in the pits or depressions as a result of the press effect in the press section, so that these in the Yankee dryer nip are pressed into the pits or depressions at the same time as the parts of the paper fiber web present between the raised parts of the texturing pattern and the Yankee dryer become thinner.
- the desired texturing effect and high bulk of the paper web is thus achieved.
- the texturing effect and the productivity can be increased if the texturing belt or a layer of the texturing belt intended for contact with the paper web is also given the feature of reversible compressibility so that the texturing belt is compressed in the transfer nip at the Yankee dryer.
- a vacuum is created, which contributes to the formation of steam, which in turn facilitates separation of the texturing belt and paper web after the transfer nip and also quicker drying of the paper web on the Yankee dryer, i.e ., higher paper production capacity.
- the vacuum-forming effect increases the quicker the belt resumes its uncompressed state, i.e ., the more resilient the reversible compressibility is.
- the texturing effect of the texturing belt that is included in the paper machine according to the invention is, of course, selected taking into consideration the desired texture pattern in the paper to be manufactured.
- the texture pattern is regular across the texturing belt or, if the texture pattern in the paper web is to include a particularly prominent additional pattern, e.g ., a picture, logotype, etc., it has a regular basic pattern of depressions or pits and raised portions, onto which pattern the additional pattern is superimposed.
- "Regular" does not necessarily imply that the pattern appears regularly in all directions of the texturing belt.
- the paper is soft paper that is to be creped
- a tighter dominant transverse pattern (across the machine direction) as compared with a longitudinal pattern of elevations and pits, will give an increased creping effect.
- the pattern can be used for altering the properties of the paper in a desired direction.
- the texturing pattern can be achieved in some manner, known per se, such as etching, calendering, laser processing or embossing.
- the density of the texturing pattern can also be used to influence the effect of the drying of the paper web on the Yankee dryer. Fewer contact points between the Yankee dryer and the paper web thus results in reduced drying effect from the Yankee dryer but increased drying effect from the hot air hood around the Yankee dryer on the fluffier parts of the paper web located between the thinner contact points.
- FIGS 1-3 show schematically parts of paper machines for manufacturing a textured web 1 of soft paper, such as tissue and other paper products with low density.
- Each of the paper machines comprises a wet section 2 , a press section 3 and a drying section 4 .
- the wet section 2 includes a headbox 7 a forming roll 8 , an endless, carrying, inner clothing 9 and an endless, covering outer clothing 10 consisting of a forming fabric.
- the inner and outer clothings 9 , 10 run, each in its own loop, around a plurality of guide rolls 11 and 12 , respectively.
- the drying section 4 includes a drying cylinder 5 covered by a hood 30 .
- the drying cylinder is suitably a Yankee dryer.
- a creping doctor is arranged to crepe the fibrous web 1 off the Yankee dryer.
- An application device 31 is also provided for applying a suitable adhesive on the envelope surface of the Yankee dryer 5 immediately before the transfer nip.
- the press section 3 includes a shoe press with a shoe press roll 14 and a counter roll 19 , these rolls 14 and 19 forming an extended press nip with each other.
- the press section also has an endless press felt 15 which runs in a loop around guide rolls 6 , and an endless, substantially impermeable belt 16 , which according to the invention is a texturing belt.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 runs in a loop around the counter roll 19 , a transfer roll 17 and a plurality of guide rolls 18 .
- the transfer roll 17 forms a transfer nip with the Yankee dryer 5 with low linear load, i.e ., about 30 to 60 kN (kiloNewtons), through which transfer nip the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 thus passes.
- the press section 3 also includes a roll press, constituted by a suction press roll 13 and said counter roll 19 to form a press nip, through which the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 and the press felt 15 pass together with the fibrous web 1 .
- the press felt 15 is conducted away from the fibrous web 1 and the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 in a side loop around the suction press roll 13 and two guide rolls 32 .
- the press felt 15 rejoins the fibrous web and the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 immediately before the extended press nip.
- suction devices may be arranged within this side loop of the press felt 15 in order to increase the capacity of the press felt to absorb water at the entrance to the extended press nip.
- the inner clothing 9 of the wet section 2 is a felt guided to the press section 3 to be also utilized as press felt 15 , and which thus runs in a loop back to the forming roll 8 .
- the inner clothing 9 of the wet section 2 is a forming fabric, the press felt running around a pick-up roll 20 arranged close to the loop of fabric 9 , so that press felt 15 and fabric 9 run in contact with each other to transfer the fibrous web from the fabric 9 to the press felt 15 .
- the pick-up roll 20 may be provided with a suction shoe (not shown). Alternatively, the pick-up roll with suction shoe may be replaced by a pick-up suction box.
- Figure 4 shows schematically parts of a paper machine according to another embodiment of the invention. It is similar to that shown in Figure 1 with the exception that the press felt 15 is not led in a side loop between the two press nips, but instead accompanies the counter roll 19 , so that the fibrous web 1 is held enclosed between the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 and the press felt 15 .
- This embodiment can be used when there is little risk of rewetting of the fibrous web.
- FIG. 5 shows schematically parts of a paper machine according to yet another embodiment of the invention for manufacturing a textured web of soft paper, such as tissue and other sanitary paper products.
- the paper machine comprises a wet section 2 , a press section 3 and a drying section 4 .
- the wet section 2 includes a headbox 7 , a forming roll 8 , an endless, carrying inner clothing 9 and an endless, covering, outer clothing 10 constituted by a forming fabric.
- the inner and outer clothings 9 and 10 run in individual loops around a plurality of guide rolls 11 and 12 , respectively.
- the drying section 4 includes a drying cylinder 5 covered by a hood 30 .
- the drying cylinder is suitably a Yankee dryer.
- the press section 3 includes a shoe press with a shoe press roll 14 and a counter roll 19 , these rolls 14 and 19 forming an extended press nip with each other.
- the press section also has an endless press felt 15 which runs in a loop around guide rolls 6 , and an endless, substantially impermeable belt 16 , which according to the invention is a texturing belt.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 runs in a loop around the counter roll 19 , a transfer roll 17 and a plurality of guide rolls 18 .
- the transfer roll 17 forms a transfer nip with the Yankee dryer 5 with low linear load, through which transfer nip the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 thus passes.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 is also used as the inner clothing 9 in the wet section 2 , its loop being extended to the forming roll 8 .
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 thus runs in a loop between the wet section 2 and the drying section, around the transfer roll 17 , guide rolls 18 and 11 and forming roll 8 .
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt carries the fibrous web on its under side from the forming roll to the drying cylinder.
- the counter roll 19 is a smooth roll and is arranged in a loop of the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 .
- the positions of the rolls 14 and 19 are reversed, i.e ., the shoe press roll 14 is arranged in the loop of the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 , and the counter roll is in the loop of the press felt 15 .
- the counter roll may be a suction roll, a grooved roll or a blind-drilled roll.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt used in the embodiments above of the paper machine according to the invention comprises a back layer 33 and a web-contacting layer 34 having a multitude of uniformly distributed depressions 35 with flat or arched surface portions 36 situated therebetween, see Figures 6 to 9 .
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 consists of a tight layer 33 forming said back layer and a fabric forming said web-contacting layer 34 .
- the fabric 34 is coated with a polymer enclosing the threads of the fabric without altering the structure of the fabric, which is formed of depressions and arched or convex surface portions 36 situated between the depressions.
- the depressions 35 and surface portions 36 are in turn formed by the threads of the fabric extending in the machine direction (as indicated by the arrow) and transverse to this.
- the depressions 35 are sealed by the tight back layer 33 formed by coating polymer on the surface of the fabric not coming in contact with the web.
- Said arched surface portions 36 comprise both oblong arc-shaped ridges 36a of the longitudinally running fabric threads, and also knuckles 36b of the transversely running threads, which knuckles produce small bowl-shaped pits in the fibrous web in the texturing phase.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt has 100 knuckles 36b per cm 2 .
- the fabric may have 25 to 150 knuckles/cm 2 , preferably 50 to 100 knuckles/cm 2 .
- This structure of depressions, ridges and knuckles produces a corresponding texture pattern in the fibrous web when it runs through the extended press nip together with the texturing belt 16 and press felt 15 .
- the polymer coating on the fabric ensures that the fibrous web is reliably adhered to the substantially impermeable texturing belt as it runs out from the extended press nip. This ensures that the fibrous web accompanies the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 and not the press felt 15 .
- the back layer which is substantially impermeable, may consist of a suitable polymer resin material, e.g. , the polymers described below for the polymer layer in the second embodiment of the substantially impermeable texturing belt.
- the polymer for coating the fabric threads may be selected in the same way.
- the R z -value is more specifically the ten-point height, which is defined in said ISO norm as the average distance between the five highest peaks and the five deepest valleys in the reference length measured from a line parallel to the mid-line and not crossing the surface profile.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt preferably has an air permeability of less than 6 m 3 /m 2 /minute, measured in accordance with the procedure described in "Standard Test Method for Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics, ASTM D 737-75, American Society of Testing and Materials".
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 is thus compressible under the influence of the pressure forces prevailing in the extended press nip.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 therefore assumes an uncompressed state upstream and downstream of the extended press nip, the surface, the web-carrying surface facing the fibrous web, having a high degree of roughness in the uncompressed state of the substantially impermeable texturing belt and a lower degree of roughness in the compressed state of the substantially impermeable texturing belt, so that the web-carrying surface in the compressed state of the substantially impermeable texturing belt is sufficiently smooth for a continuous liquid film to be formed on the web-carrying surface, when the substantially impermeable texturing belt, together with press felt 15 and fibrous web 1 , passes through the extended press nip, and so that the web-carrying surface in the uncompressed state of the substantially impermeable texturing belt is sufficiently rough to permit the continuous liquid film to be broken up after the substantially impermeable texturing belt
- the compressible polymer layer 34 is provided with said multitude of uniformly distributed depressions 35 , in order to take up a large share of the web-contacting surface, viz. from 20% up to 50%.
- the depressions can be formed in many ways to achieve the desired effect of texturing a relief pattern in the fibrous web in order to increase its bulk.
- the depressions may consist of continuous grooves in the polymer layer 33 , see Figure 7 , which extend in machine direction. According to another embodiment, the grooves extend diagonally from one edge to the other, forming an angle of 10° to 80° to the machine direction.
- the depressions consist of diagonally intersecting grooves which extend in one group from the first edge to the second edge, and in a second group from the second edge to the first edge, intersecting grooves forming an angle ⁇ of 10° to 170°.
- the grooves in the various embodiments may be straight, as shown, or wave shaped or the like, e.g. , sinus shaped or zigzag shaped.
- the distance a between two grooves 35 running in the same direction may be within the interval 1 to 3 mm.
- the width b of the groove is within the interval 0.5 to 1.0 mm and its depth c within the interval 0.1 to 1.0 mm.
- the depressions comprise hollows of the same or similar shapes.
- These hollows may be circular, elliptical or polygon in shape, e.g. , triangular, rectangular or hexagonal, the largest dimension lying within the interval 0.5 to 3.0 mm and the depth within the interval 0.5 to 1.0 mm.
- All or some of the depressions may be constituted by hollows of special symbol shapes, e.g. , numbers, letters, trade or company symbols repeated at regular intervals within a length unit of the belt.
- the substantially impermeable texturing belt according to said second embodiment may be built up in accordance with the recipes described in U.S. Patent No. 5,298,124 , discussed in the introduction.
- the polymer coating 34 comprises a polymer composition such as acrylic polymer resin, polyurethane polymer resin and polyurethane/polycarbonate resin composition.
- the polymer coating also contains particles of a filler, which have a different hardness from the polymer material and may consist of kaolin, clay, polymer material or metal, preferably stainless steel.
- the carrier constituting the back layer 33 includes all types of base elements that can in some way be made endless. The term also covers base elements provided with seams.
- the carrier may consist, for instance, of a single-layered or multi-layered fabric produced from monofilaments such as polyester, polyamide, and the like.
- the base element may even consist of a fiber web (non-woven) held together by adhesive, combined wound yarns, polymer foil/film, warp knitting, or the like.
- the carrier may be coated on the rear side with a polymer material of the same type as that used for the polymer layer 34 .
- the compressibility of the transfer belt used in the paper machine according to the invention results in lower specific pressure at the adhesion point, which in turn offers increased rate of operation, i.e ., higher production rate. This property also results in increased vaporization of water from the soft paper web, i.e ., quicker drying of the soft paper web on the Yankee dryer, which also contributes to higher production rates.
- the paper machine according to the invention produces a textured fibrous web with a high dry solids content before the drying section, viz. up to 55%, which should be compared with the dry solids contents of up to 45% achieved with paper machines in practical use today.
- This improvement can be utilized either to run the paper machine at a higher production rate or to reduce the energy consumption in the drying section. It is also then possible to reduce the diameter of the drying cylinder.
- a guide roll may be arranged, if desired, in the loop of the substantially impermeable texturing belt 16 immediately before the transfer roll 17 .
- a transfer member is used constituted by the transfer roll 17.
- the transfer roll is replaced by the substantially impermeable texturing belt itself, which is allowed to run around a predetermined part of the drying cylinder, e.g ., within a sector angle of 30° to 60°, to form an extended transfer nip with the drying cylinder.
- the invention is also applicable when the press section lacks a shoe press and instead has at least one press with two press rolls, of which the press roll around which the press felt runs is a suction roll, a grooved roll or a blind-drilled roll.
