Abstract:
A web of paper or paperboard is manufactured by first forming a base web that is dried on the press section of papermaking machine. The base web is further dried on the dryer section of the papermaking machine and a base web speed differential, or draw, is set between the press section and the first dryer cylinder group of the dryer section, whereupon at least one surface of the web is surface sized. The draw is set to 3% maximum, and a surface size furnish is applied having a solids content of at least 15% of the total amount of size components and liquid in the furnish.
Abstract:
A paper web (w) is passed from the press section (10) to the drying section in a paper machine. The drying section has at least one transfer suction roll (16) for passing the web in a closed draw from the transport belt (12) of the press section to the drying wire (F) of the first cylinder drying group (14). The cylinder drying group has at least one vacuum box (30) stabilising the travel of the web. A high negative pressure is maintained in the transfer suction roll, this pressure being between −35 kPa and −80 kPa in order to attach the web to the drying wire.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for producing calendered paper by an on-line manufacturing system comprising at least a paper machine and a multi-nip calender. The method comprises following steps: removing water from a formed paper web by pressing, drying the pressed paper web by at least one dryer, calendering the dried web by the multi-nip calender, measuring a cross-machine moisture profile or a variable relative thereto, and altering the moisture of the web so that the moisture profile of the web in the cross-direction is even when the web enters the first nip of the calender.
Abstract:
A fiber-web machine dryer section has a drying group with single-wire draw so the drying wire (F) presses the web (W) against heated cylinder surfaces with the web (W) at the side of the outside curve of reversing cylinders (11) situated between drying cylinders (10, 12). A pocket space (T) is formed between two adjacent drying cylinders (10) and a reversing cylinder (11) situated between them, and the drying wire (F). A negative pressure component (20) placed in the pocket space (T) creates a pressure difference over the drying wire (F) and the web (W) for attaching the web (W) to the drying wire (F) so the cross-direction shrinkage of the web (W) is controllable. The wire tension (F) is maintained at a level help control cross-direction shrinkage of the web. The pocket space (T) is sealed by sealing members (25, 26) to maintain negative pressure in the pocket space.

Abstract:
An apparatus for a dryer section of a paper or board machine has a drying group (R) and an impingement drying unit (10) which is placed above and/or below a row (DSR) of drying cylinders (3). A drying fabric (1) supported paper or board web (2) is conducted past the impingement drying unit (10) having at least one impingement surface (IP1, IP2) the side profile of which is straight, changeably curved in its radius of curvature, in the shape of a broken line or a selectable combination of these, and that the impingement surface or a tangent line to the impingement surface or a line passing via the beginning and the end of the impingement surface or an extension of the line forms on the impingement side an angle with a horizontal plane parallel to the machine level, which angle is ≦120°, advantageously 120°–60°, most advantageously about 90°.
Abstract:
A method and equipment for tail threading in a paper machine in which tail threading is carried out in stages: the web is guided to the broke treatment at a selected dryer, a cut is formed in the web to separate a narrow tail from the rest of the web, i.e. the broke web, prior to the dryer, the edge opposite to the cut of the broke web is turned away from the cutting point to form an open draw between the tail and the broke web, the tail is guided from the selected dryer to the following section while the broke web is transferred further to the broke treatment, while travelling in a controlled manner, the tail is widened to the full width and the broke web is simultaneously reduced away.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for web threading in a drying section of a paper machine or the like. A leader (24) and a so called run-down strip are formed by cutting in the web coming to the drying cylinder in the drying section. An underpressure box (18) is arranged at the opening gap between the drying cylinder (14) and the drying wire, on that side of the wire which is away from the web, whereby this box can direct against the web an underpressure which is controllable in the machine's cross direction. The underpressure box creates an underpressure region (34′) between the leader and the underpressure box, the region having an underpressure p1 at the detachment point, i.e. in the area where the wire is detached from said drying cylinder (14), which underpressure is sufficient to detach the leader from said drying cylinder. A protection zone is created between the underpressure region created at the leader and the run-down strip, which protection zone has a barrier (46) in order to maintain the underpressure p1 in the underpressure region.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a dryer-section concept of a paper/board machine and a method in the drying of a paper/board web (W). The dryer section comprises a number of drying cylinder groups (R.sub.I . . . R.sub.N), which comprise a single-wire draw, on whose support the web (W) is guided so that it meanders as loop-shaped from a drying cylinder onto a suction cylinder. The web (W)/the wire (H) is guided so that the web is placed against the face of the drying cylinder and the wire is placed outside. In the dryer-section concept, the web (W) is passed from one drying cylinder group (R.sub.I) into the next dryer group (R.sub.II) and further. According to the invention, at least some of the drying cylinders (K'.sub.1, K'.sub.2, K'.sub.3) include impingement units (100, 101, 102) or equivalent in connection with them, through which units a heated medium, preferably air or steam, is passed through the wire into connection with the web (W) so as to produce a two-sided drying effect and to increase the drying capacity.
Abstract:
A paper or board machine having a machine dryer section with a drying group with single-wire draw. A drying wire (F) presses the web (W) on a drying cylinder (10) against heated cylinder surfaces, and the web (W) remains at the side of the outside curve of reversing cylinders (11) situated between drying cylinders (10). For enhancing runnability of the web (W), a runnability component (20) is in a pocket space (T) confined by two adjacent drying cylinders (10) and a reversing cylinder (11) situated between them and by the drying wire (F). The web (W) passes from the drying cylinder (10) to the reversing cylinder (11) as a short transfer of 80-400 mm, where a negative pressure effect produced by the runnability component (20) is applied and confined by seals of the runnability component (20) against the surfaces of the drying cylinder (10) and reversing cylinder (11).
