Abstract:
A clothing for structuring a wet fibre web (1′) in a press section of a tissue papermaking machine is described which has a three-dimensional woven structure forming elevations (62) and depressions (63), said elevations, like the depressions, are repeated and distributed to form a pattern of polygonal, geometrically similar smallest unitary surfaces (64), each of said unitary surfaces having an area a and covering a plurality of depressions with the mean depth d. According to the invention, the area a and the mean depth d of each unitary surface (64) are adapted in relation to each other in such a way that, calculated by the length unit mm, their ratio is equal to or greater than 30 mm, wherein a is selected within the range of 1.0-3.0 mm2 and d is selected within the range of 0.03-0.09 mm. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a creped tissue paper web by using said structuring clothing.
Abstract:
A creped tissue paper is made by creping a tissue paper from a drying cylinder with a creping doctor, receiving the creped web on a carrying fabric, carrying the creped web on the carrying fabric through a compression nip that compresses the web to substantially reduce its thickness and improve softness of the web, and carrying the creped, compressed web on the carrying fabric or a subsequent fabric to a reel-up.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of producing a structured fibrous web of paper. The method comprises forming a fibrous web and conveying the formed fibrous web on a water receiving felt (5) to a dewatering nip. An endless belt (11) with a polyurethane surface is passed through the nip together with the fibrous web and the water receiving felt (5). After the dewatering nip, the fibrous web is conveyed by the endless belt (11) to an endless textured fabric (12) which is permeable to air and to which the web is transferred from the endless belt (11) in a transfer nip. The textured fabric (12) rans at a lower speed than the endless belt (11). After the transfer to the textured fabric (12), the fibrous web is carried by the textured fabric (12) to a drying cylinder (17). The transfer nip is formed by two rolls of which one is a suction roll within the loop of the textured fabric. The transfer nip has a length which is 5 mm-40 mm. The endless polyurethane belt (11) has a width that exceeds the width of the textured fabric (12). The invention also relates to a corresponding machine.

Abstract:
Method of producing a paper having a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions, which has been provided in connection with impulse drying, at which the wet paper web (10) is passed through at least one press nip (12) comprising a rotatable roll (13) which is heated and that the paper web during the passage through the press nip is given a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions either by means of a patterned wire, band or belt and/or by a pattern on the heated roll (13) and where said pattern is pressed into the paper web against a counter means (11, 14). The wet paper web before said press nip is exerted to a creping- or other compacting procedure which foreshortens the length of the paper web. The invention also refers to a paper produced by the method, said paper having a high extensibility.
Abstract:
A paper machine for manufacturing a structured soft paper web are described, which machine has a wet section, a press section, a drying section and a web-carrying clothing running around a suction device close to a smooth impermeable belt in the press section for the creation of a transfer point. In accordance with the invention, structuring means for structuring the web are arranged between the press section and the drying section. The structuring means comprise either said clothing in the shape of a permeable wire, the structure of which is made up of depressions and arched surface parts, including knuckles in a quantity of 25-150 knuckles per cm2, and a suction device that, at a vacuum of 40-80 kPa, draws the web to the structured side of the wire so that the web acquires the structure of the wire, wherein the wire operates at a speed less than or equal to the speed of the belt, or a creping doctor that is located in a space between the belt and the clothing and in scraping contact with the belt so as to loose the web during simultaneous crinkling, the suction device having a suction gap for initial suction of the web firmly to the clothing for transfer to a drying cylinder. The web-carrying clothing operates then at a speed that is less than the speed of the belt.
Abstract:
A drying section for drying a web in a papermaking machine has a pre-drying section and a final drying section, wherein the pre-drying section includes a hot press formed by a first press member and a rotatable counter roll in engagement with each other so as to form a nip therebetween through which the web passes. The hot press further includes a heating device disposed in heat-transfer relation to the counter roll and operable to heat a surface region of the counter roll which then passes through the nip so as to heat the web therein, and an imprinting fabric arranged in an endless loop, the imprinting fabric defining an imprinting surface for imprinting the web and being arranged to pass through the nip of the hot press with the web against the imprinting surface such that the web is imprinted. The imprinting fabric continues to support the imprinted web downstream of the hot press at least up to the final drying section.
Abstract:
Device for producing a paper having a three dimensional pattern which has been given the paper web in connection with drying the paper web. The device comprises at least one press nip (12) comprising a rotatable heated roll (13) and a counter means (11,14), at which either the heated roll (13) along its periphery alternatively a member surrounding the roll or a patterned wire, band or belt is provided with said three dimensional pattern, and wherein the wet paper web (10) is intended to pass through said press nip (12) and is given said pattern A detaching roll (16) is arranged at a certain distance from the press nip (12) for taking off the paper web from the heated roll (13), and creping means (17) are arranged for creping the paper from said detaching roll (16).

Abstract:
An apparatus for imprinting, drying, and reeling a fibrous web comprises a hot press including a pair of press members forming a nip therebetween for passage of the web therethrough and at least one clothing arranged to pass through the nip of the press with one side of the web in contact with a surface of the at least one clothing. The apparatus also includes a heat transfer device defining a heatable surface, the heat transfer device being arranged to pass through the nip of the press with the opposite side of the web in contact with the heatable surface, and a heating device operable to heat the heat transfer device such that the heat transfer device heats and dries the web during contact therewith. The apparatus further includes a reel-up including a rotatable reel spool onto which the web is reeled to form a finished roll of web material. At least one of the clothing surface and the heatable surface comprises an imprinting surface for imparting a textured surface to the side of the web in contact therewith in the nip of the hot press. The heat transfer device is arranged to support the web from the press substantially to the reel spool, and can comprise a surface of a surface winding drum, or a substantially rigid sleeve loosely encircling a rotatable roll or a flexible belt looped about a rotatable roll. The reel spool preferably is in nipping engagement with the heat transfer device.
