  • the applicators 10, 10' may be positioned at the same or different angles with respect to the longitudinal direction of the machine, if desired.
  • the required length of such a moving orifice applicator 10, 10' is a function of (i) the width of the web, (ii) the longitudinal speed of the paper-making machine, and (iii) the angle between the applicator and the longitudinal direction at which the web advances along the Fourdrinier wire, the use of multiple applicators reduces the physical length needed along the Fourdrinier wire by the reciprocal of the number of applicators used.
  • multiple applicators can be used to obviate limitations that might otherwise be imposed by the above-noted physical characteristics of paper-making machines .
  • An applicator offset angle can be defined as the acute angle between the longitudinal direction of movement of the Fourdrinier wire and angled direction of movement of the belt of the moving orifice device.
  • the applicator offset angle can be defined as the complement to the acute angle between the longitudinal direction of the machine and the plane within which the edge of the moving orifice belt operates.

  • fluid mechanics characteristics of the addon material and physical limitations of the applicator operation can combine to cause splatter and/or insufficient uniformity in the deposited pattern.
  • Multiple applicators 10, 10' can be employed allowing the applicator offset angle for each applicator to be increased thereby reducing the belt speed to acceptable levels so that splatter is avoided and the deposited pattern is uniform.
  • the applicators 10, 10' are selectively operable, i.e., they can be used simultaneously, separately, or turned off, and the paper-making operation can produce a banded pattern across the web, a banded pattern on only a portion of the web, or unhanded paper across the web.

Upstream and downstream are viewed as being relative to movement of the Fourdrinier wire 6 and the web 22.
  • the endless belt 32 moves through a bottom portion of the chamber box 30 and, as it leaves the chamber box 30, the belt 32 moves through a cleaning box 42. Then, the belt 32 moves toward the drive wheel 34 and continues along the remainder of its circumlocution.
  • the belt 32 (see FIG. 8) preferably has a plurality of orifices spaced uniformly along the length thereof. As each perforation or orifice 44 (FIG. 8) of the belt 32 passes through the bottom portion of the chamber box 30, the orifice 44 communicates with the reservoir of add-on slurry established in the chamber box 30. At such time, a stream 40 (PIG. 4) of add-on slurry discharges from the orifice 44 as the orifice 44 traverses the length of the chamber box 30. The discharge stream 40 impinges upon the base web 22 passing beneath the moving orifice applicator 10 so as to deliver or create a transverse band of additional (add-on) material upon the base web 22.

  • the spacing of the orifices 44 along the belt 32 and the operational speed of the s belt 32 are selected such that a plurality of streams 40, 40' emanate simultaneously from beneath the chamber box 30 during operation of the moving orifice application.
  • each stream 40 of add-on material will create a band of add-on material upon the base web 22, where the band has a length corresponding to the operational length of the moving orifice applicator 10. That operational length is the length in the direction transverse of the wire 6 through which the orifice 44 can deposit add- 5 on material.

  • the multiple applicators 10, 10' are operable to o deposit aligned or offset bands substantially across the entire width of the Fourdrinier wire 6. If desired, the angle and/or relative speeds may be altered to produce bands which are angled obliquely to the edge of the base web 22.
  • the moving orifice applicator 10 is preferably situated obliquely across the Fourdrinier wire 6 at a location downstream of the dry line 20 where condition of the base web 22 is such that it can accept the add-on material without the add-on material dispersing itself too thinly throughout the local mass of the 5 base web slurry.

If lack of band-spacing uniformity is detected by the optical inspection system 12O 7 then the feedback signals are employed to appropriately adjust the linear speed of the moving orifice belt 32 of the appropriate applicator 10, 10'. In that manner, the band-spacing of the transverse bands on the web can be dynamically adjusted so to remain within the design tolerances for the band-to-band spacing.

In that instance, two splitter disks 126 would be used with the same anvil roll 128, the disks being spaced from one another to provide web portions with the desired width. Downstream of the splitter 125, the individual web portions 130, 132 are collected by corresponding reeling apparatus 28, 29.

  • one longitudinal portion 132 of the web may be banded and collected while the other longitudinal portion 130 of the web is unbanded and collected simultaneously. This capability increases the manufacturing flexibility of the paper making apparatus.
  • add-on slurry must be processed sufficiently to avoid fiber build-up at or about the orifices 44 of the belt, which in turn avoids jet deflections at the orifices 44. Because the flow of the fluid stream 40 emanating from each orifice 44 as the orifice 44 passes along the bottom portion of the chamber box 30 is proportional to the pressure differential across the orifice 44, it is desirable that fluid pressure be established and then held as uniformly as possible along the entire journey of each orifice 44 along the bottom portion 76 of the chamber box 30.
