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 arrangement in connection with the press and dryer section of a web-forming machine includes first and second devices for transporting the web. The second device includes a dryer wire and a roll arranged to support it. In the arrangement there is an open gap between the first and second devices, across which the web is arranged to be transferred, so that the web and the dryer wire form a closing throat. The arrangement further includes a deflector before the open gap in the direction of travel of the dryer wire, which is arranged close to the dryer wire, in order to restrict the air layer travelling with the dryer wire, and thus to prevent the formation of an excess pressure in the closing throat.
Abstract:
A method of controlling the quality and/or condition of a fibre web in a process for manufacturing and/or finishing the fibre web, which includes, monitoring the fibre web with at least one optical spectrum separating measurement device, determining a quality variable of the fibre web, measuring electromagnetic radiation reflected from the fibre web using an optical spectrum separating measurement device synchronously with a movement of the fibre web, and measurements in the form of spectral data, generating a continuous quality variable chart, dividing the continuous quality variable chart into successive matched partial charts having a cycle length, detecting deviations and/or discontinuities of the quality variable from the successive matched partial charts, and detecting malfunctioning of a rotating/moving means using the detected deviations and/or discontinuities of the quality variable.
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.
