Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and arrangement for producing calendered paper that is finished with an online multi-nip calender like a supercalender, opti-load calender or a Janus Concept Calender. More specifically, the invention relates to controlling the cross machine moisture profile of the paper web so that an optimum quality of the calenderad paper is achieved.
- This invention relates to manufacturing if high-gloss high quality magazine paper grades by using on-line calendering.
- on-line calendering the calender is arranged directly after a paper machine or a coater and teh web is also led directly to the calender.
- This kind of calendered paper grades have earlier been produced by off-line calenders and normally two or three calenders have been used for handling paper produced on one production line and the paper has been rolled before calendering. The speed of earlier supercalenders has limited their use as on-line calenders.
- All multi-nip calenders comprise several nips formed of soft and hard rolls.
- the outer surface of the soft rolls is made of paper or other tightly pressed fibre material or a suitable polymer material.
- the hard rolls are made of steel and most of the hard rolls can be heated by oil, water steam or by other means like electric induction.
- the purpose of the calendering is to increase the smoothness, gloss and other properties of the printing surface of the paper. These improved properties of the printing surface improve the final quality of the printe ⁇ sheet.
- the pnntability of paper and the quality of the printed surface are primary quality factors that the valued by the users of paper.
- the smoothing of the paper surface is achieved by simultaneously subjecting the fiber structure to high pressure and heat by heating the hard rolls and pressing the rolls together so that a high liner nip force is created on the nips between the rolls. Under the influence of these forces the fibers forming the paper reach their glass transit temperature and the deformation caused by the nip loa ⁇ is permanent. Sliding of the paper surface on the surface of the rolls may also cause deformation of the fibers and increase the smoothing effect.
- the paper When multi-nip calendering has been used, the paper has been traditionally produced m a paper machine and subsequently coated if so desired. In both cases the coated or uncoated paper has been rolled on storage rolls and calendered m separate calenders. The paper has been dried to a very low moisture, typically to 1-3% calculated from total weight of the paper. Before calendering the paper is rewetted up to a higher moisture content required for good calendering results, typically to 6-10% calculated from the total weight of the paper. The reason for drying to very low moisture content is to level out the cross machine (CD) moisture profile.
- CD cross machine
- the snort storage on storage rolls before calendering also evens out the moisture of the paper on the roll as well as rewettmg before calendering.
- the paper is dried to a very low moisture content before calendering and wetted ⁇ ust before calendering. The process is therefore almost the same as on off-line calendering, only without moisture settling storage.
- the rewetting can be done for example with a water spray application units described in the US patent 5,286,348, which describes an rewetting apparatus for providing a good moisture profile in CD direction.
- the problem associated to drying and subsequent rewetting of the paper is the time needed for paper to absorb the water and the moisture to even out, especially in direction of the thickness of the paper and over the surface area of the web. If the rewetting is done just before the calendering, the uneven moisture profile will effect the final surface properties of the produced paper and the quality grading of the paper is lowered. As stated above, the paper rolls have been reeled up after rewetting and transferred to waiting station for moisture equalisation, whereafter the rolls have been brought to off-line calenders for final calendering for producing high gloss and to densify the surface of the paper.
- the drying and rewetting process adds energy consumption required for paper making and the required space compared to a process where there were no rewetting and overdrying before calendering.
- Uneven moisture profile results uneven gloss and uneven thickness profiles bacause of the effect of the moisture to the fiber deformabiiity . If thiclkness profile is uneven, it results difficulties in winding and may even cause cross-directional bumps in the client rolls.
- the CD-bumps decrease the runnability of paper in printing presses and converting machines and by this way decrease the quality of the material from the customer point of view.
- the moisture profile effects to many factors of the paper making process and properties of the paper.
- One very notable feature is that when moisture profile differences are present in the paper, the dryer parts of the paper start shrinking earlier and they shrink more than wet parts, which leads to stretching of the wet parts.
- the uneven stretching leads to shrinking of the dry parts and stretching of the wet parts, which further leads to thickness variation, variation in shrinkage and to variation of the properties of the paper.
- the moisture profile of the paper that is produced is controlled presently in several ways especially at the beginning of the web formation.
- the purpose of the control of the moisture profile in present technology is to ensure good runnability of the machine and the product that is produced. This is understandable, since there is a strong relationship between the moisture profile and tension profile.
- the moisture profile is tried to be kept as good (even) as possible in those parts of the manufacturing process where the effect of the tension profile is highest on the runnability.
- the tensions induced into the web by moisture variations and the tension profile do not effect the properties of the final product as such since the tensions have time to relaxate during the waiting or storage time before calendering. Normal waiting time in a modern paper mill producing off-line calendered paper is about 1-5 hours.
- Present moisture control methods to do take into account the requirements of multinip online calendering and therefore the quality of the calendered paper may even be adversely affected by present moisture control procedures.
- the cross directional moisture profile of the paper web being produced is measured at least one position on the production machine, whereafter the web is handled with moisture altering means at at least one position on the production machine so that the cross directional moisture profile of the web is effected so that the moisture profile of the web is evened out before calendering and a best possible calendering result in an on-line multi-nip calender is achieved.
- the moisture profile measurement may be done directly or by measuring a value that indicates the value of moisture indirectly.
- a value that indicates the value of moisture indirectly is for instance a web tension that varies according to the web moisture because the strength of the web varies according to its moisture content.
- the web moisture measurement may be done at any position on the production line, but in order to guarantee an even cross directional moisture distribution at the calender, at least one moisture measurement point has to be positioned at the end of the machine on area that is before the last apparatus that effects the moisture profile and before winder.
- the moisture profile can be adjusted by temperature control of the web or drying cylinders or other means capable of effecting the temperature of the web.
- the moisture profile adjustment and control may be done for web having a solids content of 60% or less by moisturizing by water, by steam, by hot or cold air, by infrared dryer or by microwaves.
- the moisture profile control should be done methods effecting the temperature, by hot or cold air, by infrared dryer or by microwaves.
- the solids content is over
- the invention provides, among others, the following benefits. Need for drying the paper and then rewetting it is not required, whereby the energy consumption is smaller and the machine may be built shorter. The thickness profile and gloss of the paper is improved. The runnability of the paper in printing press is better and the overall customer quality can be raised.
- Figure 1 is a diagram of the effect of the cross machine moisture variation on a web to be produced.
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of the implementation of the invention.
- Figure 3 shows schematically in side view an apparatus that can be used for implementation of the invention.
- Figure 4 shows schematically in top view an apparatus that can be used for implementation of the invention.
- FIG. 5 shows schematically a detail of the apparatus shown in figures 3 and 4.
- Figure 6 is a chart showing typical paper grades that can be manufactured according to the invention.
- twin-wire machines the shrinking starts earlier than on single wire machines.
- the starting point is about 55% solids and on single wire machines about 65%.
- the cross directional shrinking continues from the beginning of the shrinking to the end of the drying.
- the increase of the shrinkage is approximately linear as a fuction of the solids content.
- the presented values are average values and the wood-/fiber material, manufacturing method of the bulk mass and its handling effect the solids content values on which the changes in the morphology happen.
- Levelling the moisture profile before the strong shrinkage of the paper begins means that the measurement and the adjustment of the moisture profile has to be done on the wet pressing zone of the paper machine and the solids content is about 60% at the highest, depending on the grade that is manufactured. This method is favorable for several reasons. If significant changes in the moisture of the paper are present when it starts to shrink, the dryer parts start to shrink earlier than the dryer parts (see figure 1) . The wet parts stretch in cross direction and the dryer parts shrink and become more dense. This can lead to thickness variation, drying shrinkage variation and variation in the properties of the produced paper. The shrinkage of the paper is situated on the same physical phase as the so called phase of decreasing evaporation rate. Typical for this phase is that the surfaces of the web are almost dry and the middle part is considerably wetter.
- the evenness of the cross directional properties of the paper that are formed in the drying stage of the paper are essential requirement to that that the paper can be pressed enough on the calendering stage in the manufacture of, for example on-line calendered SC-paper. If that can not be achieved, and there is essential variation in the thickness, modulus of elasticity, drying shrinkage or density before calendering, that will make the production of large machine rolls difficult. Even more important is that in worst cases the quality of the paper delivered to the customers is decreased.
- the adjustment of the moisture profile may be done on bases of following mechanisms: cy moisturizing by water or steam, by treating the web with hot or cold air, by infrared dryers or by microwaves or differentially heatable or coolable cylinders.
- the water and steam handling methods may be called wetting methods and the other methods are based on either increasing the evaporation rate of the water from the web or decreasing it by cooling the web. Examples of suitable apparatuses are presented later.
- Method B The moisture profile control on the area of 60-85% solids content should be done by methods based on temperature control like by treating the web with hot or cold air, by infrared dryers or by microwaves or by heatable or coolable cylinders. Wetting methods should not be used on this area because of reasons relating to powerful shrinkage on this area.
- solids content is above 85%, all methods suitable for use on method A can be used since no significant shrinkage happens.
- This solids content area presents also the solids content of a web that is coated, wherefore for coating machines same profiling methods may be used. If coated paper is manufactured, it is important that the adjustment of moisture profile is done at least after the last coating station since the wet coating mixture may change the moisture profile because of varying absorption properties of the base paper, for example.
- FIG. 2 describes a press section of a paper machine and subsequent dryer groups. Dryer groups may consist of drying cylinders, infra red dryers, air dryers of other dryers or they may be any combination of commonly used dryer types. Dry matter contents (DMC, solids content) in different stages of web formation are presented in the bottom of the figure. As can be seen in the figure 2, the solids content of a web leaving the press section of a paper machine is 40-55% and after first dryer group the solids content rises to about 60% and increases gradually as the drying process proceeds. At positions D and/or E the web may be dried to a solids content below the moisture at which the paper is actually used.
- DMC dry matter contents
- the wet pressing after formation of the paper can be done by a conventional press or preferably by a modern shoe press since the shoe press equalizes the small scale moisture variation effectively.
- Moisture profiling can be performed at the press section by profiling rolls or by steam.
- the profiling means are controlled with measurement instruments located at position A.
- the measuring method may be a moisture measurement, temperature measurement, tension measurement or other method that indicates the moisture profile of web in cross machine direction.
- a very well suitable method for measurement and control of different variables in paper making process is presented in US 5,649,448, which is enclosed herewith as a reference.
- At positions A and/or B may be a moisture adjusting apparatus used in method A.
- the adjusting apparatus is controlled by a feed-forward or by a feedback control method or both according to whether the measurement of the moisture profile is done before or after the adjusting apparatus.
- a moisture adjusting apparatus used in method B may be used.
- the adjusting apparatus is controlled by measurement results as described above.
- the apparatus may be a wetting apparatus like water or steam application apparatus only if the structure of the paper withstands the operation of the apparatus and the dry matter content is at least about 85%. It is considered that the structure of the paper withstands the used of moisturizing if the amount of water used and the solids content permits the use of the apparatus without consequences described in description of the method A.
- the web may be forwarded to an on-line multi-nip calender or to an on-line coating machine depending on the paper grade that is manufactured.
- the moisture profile must be controlled also during coating and all adjusting apparatuses may be used, since the solids content of the web is normally higher than 85% during coating since the web has already been dried to a solids content below that during the formation and drying phases.
- different methods usable for moisture profiling are described. These methods and apparatuses are suitable for moisture adjustment both on paper machine and on coater if the limitations discussed above are taken into account. The methods and apparatuses described below may be used alternatively or simultaneously.
- a profiling steam box controlled by CD profile measurements located after the profiling steam box may be used in the press section of a paper machine.
- the steam box is preferably after the first drying cylinder group and the measurements are preferably moisture profile, tension profile or temperature profile measurements or any combination of these measurements. Since in paper machines quality control and control systems are already several measurement instruments, all of these measurement methods are easily adaptable to new designs.
- the CD temperature may be controlled either by cooling the web or by heating it.
- the temperature adjustment may be done at at least one, preferably last, of the drying cylinder groups to achieve uniform temperature profile in cross direction of the web.
- the temperature measurement unit may be located at after the CD temperature adjustment unit in or between drying cylinder groups or after the last drying cylinder group.
- Moisture profile adjustment before the last drying cylinder group by profiling the drying cylinder surface temperatures and/or using profilable infra red drying units to adjust the moisture of the web and/or by using rewetting equipment for profile corrections is also usable,
- the temperature and/or moisture profile measurement may be done by instruments located in or after the last drying cylinder group. Since the wetting and heating methods that may be used for moisture profile control, may effect the dimension stability and water absoption properties of the web, the cooling of the web provides benefits over those methods since the effects of cooling on the mentioned properties of the web are smaller that those of wetting or heating methods. When cooling is used for profiling, the temperature of the dryer sections of teh web is decreased, whereby the evaporation decreases.
- the temperature adjustment may be done in several ways, for example by cooling a drying cylinder sectionally with air or very fine water mist that evaporates from the cylinder without moisturizing the web significantly.
- the effect of the water cooling is based on the energy needed for evaporating the water.
- the profiling by cooling may be done also by blowing cold air from a penetrating discharge air dryer. If the profiling is done in several locations successively, the moisture profile can be controlled with minor changes without effecting detrimentally to other important properties of the web.
- the web may also be cooled down to the machine temperature or the temperature of the machine housing before calendering unit to prevent the continuation of drying of the paper between calender and last drying equipment. This prevents uneven moisture evaporation from the web before calendering. When the web enters the calender, the preferable moisture content is 7-20% calculated from the total weight of the web.
- Final moisture profile adjustment may be done also by applying water in form of steam spray or a thion film transferred on the paper in calender nip or by a surface sizing unit inside a drying cylinder group or between the last drying cylinder and calender.
- the CD moisture profile measurement may be located immediately before the calender or after the calender before winding unit.
- a film transfer unit or a surface sizing unit may be used for moisture profiling by controlling the thickness of the water film of size film applied to the film transfer roll.
- FIGS 3 - 5 show diagramatically a profiling blow box that can be used either for cooling or heating of a web.
- the box comprises a housing 1 that forms a nozzle surface 2 that is designed to contour a roll over which a web is running. Air or steam can be blown into the housing 1 through coupling 3 and the same is blown from the housing 1 through nozzle surface against the web.
- the nozzle surface 2 comprises an arrangement of movable bands 5 arranged to move between guides or rails 7.
- One end of the bands is wound around an actuating shaft 7 that is dealt in sections so that each band has its own actuating section. By turning the actuating section it is possible to move th bands between the rails so that they cover different lengths of the area of the nozzle surface.
- the bands are narrow, for example 10 - 100 mm wide, the apparatus can be used for compensation of small scale variations of the moisture profile. By other apparatuses it may be difficult to obtain as finely graduated profile control as with this apparatus.
- the moisture profile control and adjustment is preferably done by more than one of the above described ways. If several correction steps are used, the need for major adjustments in one step is prevented and the effects on the process and the paper are smaller. Also the control of the apparatus becomes easier.
- the invention may be used for several types of multi-nip calenders that are characterized by multiple calendering nips and relatively high nip loads. Examples of these koind of calenders are supercalenders, Janus concept calenders (see Paper Asia, Oct. 1997, enquiry card No.: 10/007), a calender shown in the US 5438920 or other types of multinip calenders used for manufaturing high gloss paper grades. Examples of the paper grades suitable for manufacturing according to the invention and their properties are shown in chart 6, which is self explanotary.

Pikulik | 1.1 Approach Flow System The forming process is preceded by an approach flow system that receives the aqueous fiber suspension, or stock, and prepares it for the forming process. Fibres are produced using kraft process or other pulping/bleaching processes (see Bleaching of wood pulps) and the proportions of fibers from different sources are blended here. Drained water from the forming process, known as whitewater, contains useful fibrous material and is continuously recycled back into the stock. Screens and centrifugal cleaners in the approach flow system remove oversize and heavy contaminants from the pulp. Additives such as minerals, pigments and dyes are introduced to make particular grades of paper and paper board. Air bubbles may be removed from the pulp suspension. The mass concentration, or consistency, of the suspension is kept low to prevent fibre flocculation prior to forming and is usually adjusted to a value in the range of 0.5 to 1.5%. |
