Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zur Herstellung einer Tissuebahn mit einem zumindest ein umlaufendes endloses Entwässerungssieb umfassenden Formierbereich. Sie betrifft ferner ein Verfahren gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 9.The invention relates to a machine for producing a tissue web with a forming region comprising at least one continuous endless dewatering screen. It further relates to a method according to the preamble of
Bisher wird versucht, die Qualitätsparameter einer Tissuebahn, wie z.B. das Wasseraufnahmevermögen, das Wasserrückhaltevermögen und die Wasseraufnahmegeschwindigkeit, durch die Gestaltung der Oberflächenstruktur der Bahn zu beeinflussen. Im Stand der Technik (vgl. z.B. US 5 746 887, US 5 492 598, SE 427053) wird vorgeschlagen, sogenannte Prägesiebe oder -filze einzusetzen. Diese prägen der schon gebildeten Tissuebahn ihre eigene Oberflächenstruktur auf. Bei diesem Vorgang wird die Tissuebahn auf Druck belastet und dadurch einem angestrebten hohen Volumen (bulk) entgegengewirkt. Gleichzeitig erfordert dieses Verfahren einen hohen apparativen Aufwand, da die Prägesiebe nur zu diesem Zweck eingesetzt werden. Oftmals werden diese Verfahren noch mit speziellen, teuren Trocknungsverfahren zur Erhöhung des spezifischen Volumens kombiniert.Heretofore, attempts have been made to improve the quality parameters of a tissue web, e.g. the water absorption capacity, the water retention capacity and the water absorption rate, influenced by the design of the surface structure of the web. In the prior art (see for example US 5 746 887, US 5 492 598, SE 427053) it is proposed to use so-called embossing screens or felts. These characterize the tissue web already formed their own surface structure. In this process, the tissue web is subjected to pressure and thereby counteracts a desired high volume (bulk) counteracted. At the same time, this method requires a high expenditure on equipment, since the embossing screens are used only for this purpose. Often, these methods are still combined with special, expensive drying methods to increase the specific volume.
Aus der WO 96/35018 und der US 5,654,076 sind Doppelsiebformer bekannt, bei denen ein Sieb mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit ausgebildet ist.From WO 96/35018 and US 5,654,076 twin-wire former are known in which a sieve is formed with zonal different Siebdurchlässigkeit.
WO-A-9855691 offenbart eine Maschine zur Herstellung einer Tissuebahn mit einem zumindest ein umlaufendes endloses Entwässerungssieb mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit umfassenden Formierbereich, wobei für die Tissuebahn ein Pressspalt vorhanden ist, der durch eine Schuhpresseinheit und eine Gegenwalze gebildet wird.WO-A-9855691 discloses a machine for producing a tissue web having a forming area comprising at least one continuous endless dewatering screen with zonal different screen permeability, wherein there is a press nip for the tissue web, which is formed by a shoe press unit and a counter roll.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, eine Maschine sowie ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit denen der Aufbau und die Struktur, d.h. die Anordnung der Fasern einer Tissuebahn insbesondere auch bei hohen Maschinengeschwindigkeiten so gestaltet werden können, daß das Wasseraufnahmevermögen, das Wasserrückhaltevermögen, die Wasseraufnahmegeschwindigkeit und das spezifische Volumen (bulk) auf möglichst wirtschaftliche Art und Weise erhöht bzw. verbessert werden.The aim of the invention is to provide a machine and a method of the type mentioned, with which the structure and structure, ie the arrangement of the fibers of a tissue web, especially at high machine speeds can be designed so that the water absorption capacity, the water retention capacity, the water absorption rate and the bulk volume are increased or improved as economically as possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch das Merkmal des kennzeichnenden Teils das Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the feature of the characterizing part of
Aufgrund der Merkmals Kombination des Anspruchs 1 wird erreicht, daß beim Entwässerungsvorgang in der Blattbildungszone Bereiche großer Entwässerungsgeschwindigkeit und Bereiche kleiner Entwässerungsgeschwindigkeit entstehen. Dadurch wird eine Tissuebahn mit zonal unterschiedlichen Faseranteilen erzeugt, wodurch die Wasseraufnahme der Bahn erhöht wird und diese auch schneller vor sich geht. Dies beeinflußt die Tissuebahn nicht nur an der Blattoberfläche, sondern über das gesamte Blattvolumen, wodurch sich die Qualitätsparameter erheblich verbessern.Due to the combination of features of
Bei konventionellen Pressensystemen werden die Bereiche mit zonal hohem Volumen stark komprimiert, da bei solchen Systemen Druckwerte im Press-Nip entstehen, die oftmals zu hoch sind um die voluminöse Struktur aufrechtzuerhalten.In conventional press systems, the zones of high zonal volume are highly compressed because such systems create pressure levels in the press nip that are often too high to maintain the voluminous structure.
Siebe zonal unterschiedlicher Durchlässigkeit sind beispielsweise aus der SE 427053 bekannt. Danach können die betreffenden Siebe z.B. aus einem Gewebe bestehen, in dem in einer oder in mehreren Ebenen vorgesehene Längs- und Querfäden entsprechend einem vorgebbaren Muster so miteinander verwoben sind, daß sich systematisch verteilte Bereiche geeigneter Größe ergeben, in denen die Anzahl von Kreuzungsstellen gleich Null oder deutlich kleiner ist als in der Webstruktur des restlichen Gewebes.Sieves zonal different permeability are known for example from SE 427053. Thereafter, the sieves in question, for example, consist of a fabric in which provided in one or more levels longitudinal and transverse threads are interwoven according to a predetermined pattern so that systematically distributed areas of suitable size arise in which the number of crossing points equal to zero or significantly smaller than in the weave structure of the remaining fabric.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Maschine ist wenigstens ein Entwässerungssieb mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit im initialen Entwässerungsbereich vorgesehen, in dem die höchsten Entwässerungsraten (Liter/min) auftreten.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the machine according to the invention, at least one dewatering screen with zonal different screen permeability in the initial drainage area is provided in which the highest dewatering rates (liters / min) occur.
Der vorteilhafte Effekt wirkt sich insbesondere bei höheren Entwässerungsgeschwindigkeiten aus, die mit größer werdender Maschinengeschwindigkeit entsprechend höher werden. So ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Entwässerung bei einer Maschinengeschwindigkeit durchgeführt wird, die größer als etwa 1300 m/min, insbesondere größer als etwa 1500 m/min und vorzugsweise größer als etwa 1800 m/min ist.The advantageous effect is particularly effective at higher dewatering rates, which are correspondingly higher with increasing machine speed. Thus, it is advantageous if the dewatering is carried out at a machine speed greater than about 1300 m / min, in particular greater than about 1500 m / min and preferably greater than about 1800 m / min.
Eine bevorzugte praktische Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Maschine umfaßt einen Former mit zwei umlaufenden endlosen Entwässerungsbändern, die unter Bildung eines Stoffeinlaufspaltes zusammenlaufen und anschließend über ein Formierelement wie insbesondere eine Formierwalze geführt sind, wobei als nicht mit dem Formierelement in Kontakt tretendes Außenband und/oder als Innenband ein Entwässerungssieb mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit vorgesehen ist.A preferred practical embodiment of the machine according to the invention comprises a former with two continuous endless dewatering belts, which converge to form a material inlet gap and then passed over a forming element such as in particular a forming roller, as outer band not coming into contact with the forming element and / or as inner band Drainage sieve with zonal different Siebdurchlässigkeit is provided.
Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform kann als Former beispielsweise ein Doppelsiebformer vorgesehen sein. Dabei kann als Außenband und/oder als Innenband ein Entwässerungssieb mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit, d.h. ein sogenanntes DSP-Sieb vorgesehen sein. Ist lediglich eines der beiden Bänder durch ein solches DSP-Sieb gebildet, so kann das andere Band ein herkömmliches Entwässerungssieb für Tissue sein.According to an advantageous embodiment may be provided as a former, for example, a twin-wire former. In this case, a drainage sieve with zonal different sieve permeability, ie a so-called DSP sieve may be provided as outer band and / or as inner band. If only one of the two bands is formed by such a DSP screen, the other band may be a conventional tissue dewatering screen.
Bei einer zweckmäßigen alternativen Ausführungsform ist als Former ein Crescentformer vorgesehen, dessen Außenband durch ein Entwässerungssieb mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit und dessen Innenband durch ein Filzband gebildet ist.In an expedient alternative embodiment, a crescent former is provided as a former, whose outer band is formed by a dewatering screen with zonal different screen permeability and the inner band by a felt belt.
Die größte Ausdehnung der Fläche der Teilbereiche des Entwässerungssiebes mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit ist zweckmäßigerweise Az < 5 mm, vorzugsweise Az < 3 mm.The largest extent of the area of the subsections of the dewatering sieve with zonal different sieve permeability is expediently Az <5 mm, preferably Az <3 mm.
Von Vorteil ist auch, wenn das Entwässerungssieb zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit nicht mit filzähnlichen Fasern benadelt ist, sondern aus einem durch Schuß- und Kettfäden gebildeten Gewebe, d.h. nur aus Schuß- und Kettfäden besteht.It is also advantageous if the dewatering screen of zonal different Siebdurchlässigkeit is not needled with felt-like fibers, but from a weft and warp formed fabric, i. consists only of weft and warp threads.
Die Zonen unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit eines betreffenden Entwässerungsbandes sind vorteilhafterweise durch die Verwendung von Webfäden unterschiedlichen Durchmessers und/oder unterschiedlichen Webmusters erzeugt.The zones of different Siebdurchlässigkeit a respective dewatering belt are advantageously generated by the use of weaving threads of different diameters and / or different weave pattern.
Vorteilhafterweise wird das Entwässerungssieb mit zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit in einem Bereich, in dem der Trockengehalt der Tissuebahn kleiner als etwa 20 % und insbesondere kleiner als etwa 12 % ist, und vorzugsweise im initialen Blattbildungsbereich bei einem Trokkengehalt kleiner als etwa 6 % eingesetzt.Advantageously, the dewatering screen with zonal different screen permeability is used in a range in which the dry content of the tissue web is less than about 20% and in particular less than about 12%, and preferably in the initial sheet forming area at a dry content of less than about 6%.
Da aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Durchlässigkeit Fasern in das Volumen des Siebes eindringen und sich dort festsetzen können, ist dem Entwässerungssieb zonal unterschiedlicher Siebdurchlässigkeit vorzugsweise eine Konditioniereinrichtung wie insbesondere eine Siebreinigungseinrichtung zugeordnet. Dabei können z.B. Spritzrohre mit über die Maschinenbreite verteilten Düsen vorgesehen sein. Es kann jedoch beispielsweise auch ein "Duocleaner" der Firma Voith Sulzer mit rotierenden Hochdruckdüsen und integrierter Absaugung oder ein "Jet Cleaner" der Firma Voith Sulzer verwendet werden.Since fibers can penetrate into the volume of the screen due to the different permeability and can settle there, the drainage sieve zonal different Siebdurchlässigkeit is preferably associated with a conditioning device such as in particular a sieve cleaning device. In this case, for example, spray tubes can be provided with distributed over the machine width nozzles. However, it is also possible, for example, to use a "Duocleaner" from Voith Sulzer with rotating high-pressure nozzles and integrated extraction or a "Jet Cleaner" from Voith Sulzer.

Bei den Fäden kann es sich insbesondere um Schußfäden und um Kettfäden handeln.As sieves zonal different permeability, for example, sieves of the type in question, as described in the not previously published EP-A-1109970.
