Abstract:
A web (16) running from an opening nip (K1) between a cylinder (10) and a supporting fabric (18) toward a roll (14), is supported by a negative pressure created by a blow box (30). In an intensified negative pressure region (34′), i.e. close to the disengaging point (40) between the supporting fabric and the cylinder, the pressure is greater than at a distance from this disengaging point. The negative pressure is controlled according to parameters which act on the runability of the web and which can be varied, such as web velocity, web solid contents, pulp composition, paper or paper board quality, web grammage, a characteristic of the web, such as porosity, traction acting in the web, or web tension, cylinder temperature, and/or the running situation, such as a web break, a threading situation, or a normal run, so the desired runability is maintained between the cylinder and the roll.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an equipment and a method in the transfer of a paper/board web in a paper or board machine. In an embodiment of the invention, the dryer section comprises at least one group of drying cylinders in which, instead of a conventional wire draw, a transfer belt (H100) is employed, to which the web (W) is affixed by effect of adhesion and which transfer belt is passed over drying cylinders (K1, K2, . . . ) and reversing rolls (E1, E2, . . . ) and further in said group (RI) of drying cylinders in the dryer section. The invention also concerns a method in the transfer of the web (W) in the dryer section (K) of a paper/board machine. In an embodiment of the invention, the web (W) is passed, while meandering in loop shape and while adhering to the face of the transfer belt (H100), from a drying cylinder (K1) in the group (RI) of drying cylinders in the dryer section (K) onto a reversing roll (E1) and further from the reversing roll onto the next drying cylinder (K2) and further in the group (RI) of drying cylinders.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of a paper or board web (W), the web is slit or cut, the rising/lowering (H) of the edges of a slit/cut gap (C) formed at the slitting/cutting point or the width (L) of the gap is measured by means of a measurement device (21A; 21B; 21C), and the curl of the paper or board web (W) is regulated based on the result of measurement. A paper or board machine line has means for regulating curl in the web (W); means for slitting or cutting the paper or board web and for measuring the rising/lowering (H) of the edges of a slit/cut gap (C) formed at the slitting/cutting point or the width (L) of the slit/cut gap (C) in connection with the manufacture of the web (W) in order to regulate the curl of the web (W) based on the result of measurement.
Abstract:
A high speed dryer section has single-wire draw drying groups (R1, RN). A paper or board web (W) is supported by a wire (F) as it meanders over drying cylinders (20) in an upper row and reversing cylinders/rolls (21) in a lower row. A first cylinder drying group (R1) has at least five drying cylinders. In the first cylinder drying group (R1) a runnability component (30) is placed in a pocket space defined by every two successive drying cylinders (20) and the reversing roll (21) between them and by the drying wire (F) for applying a high under-pressure of 1000-8000 Pa to an area (50Y) in which the web (W) separates from the drying cylinder (20), and by which runnability component (30) a lower under-pressure of 100-500 Pa is produced in at least part of the rest of the pocket space (T).
Abstract:
A drying unit in a dryer section of a paper or board machine including a drying wire guided in a loop, a large-diameter impingement-drying and/or through-drying cylinder arranged inside the drying-wire loop and smaller diameter smooth-faced heated contact-drying cylinders arranged on top of the large cylinder and/or in the vicinity thereof and at both sides thereof. The impingement-drying and/or through-drying cylinder is placed in a space below the floor level of the paper machine hall and provided with an openable and closable blow hood so that the removal of broke out of connection with the hood takes place substantially by the force of gravity. The central axes of the contact-drying cylinders placed in the vicinity of the large cylinder are placed in the vicinity of, or above, the floor level of the paper machine hall. A curve sector of the paper web on the outer face of the drying wire over the large cylinder greater than about 180.degree..
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).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a sealing arrangement (7) against a moving fabric (4b) in a paper machine or the like. The sealing arrangement includes a stiff sealing element (9) placed on the fabric's (4b) side on the entire width in connection with a paper sheet (4a) supported by the fabric (4b). The sealing element has been arranged on a support so that the location of the sealing element with respect to the fabric (4b) can be adjusted nearer to or, correspondingly, further from the fabric. As a sealing element there is at least a single-chambered labyrinth sealing (19).
Abstract:
A method of blowing drying gas against a paper web, and an impingement dryer of a paper machine. Drying gas is blown with an impingement dryer comprising several profiling chambers in the cross-direction of a paper machine, the cross-profile of the paper web being controlled with the drying gas blown from the profiling chambers. Each profiling chamber blows drying gas to its own effect range. The impingement dryer further comprises a return air chamber and return air ducts such that drying gas blown against the paper web from the profiling chambers is returned into the return air chamber through the return air ducts in such a way that some of the effect of the drying gas blown from the profiling chamber is at least partly prevented from reaching the effective area of the adjacent profiling chamber.
