Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a device for treating a fiber web. Especially the invention relates to a device for applying treatment substance on at least one surface of the fiber web, which device for applying treatment substance on the at least one surface of the fiber web may apply the treatment substance directly onto the at least one surface of the web or the treatment substance may be applied onto the at least one surface of the web via a roll onto surface of which the device is provided to apply the treatment substance. In particular the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of
claim 1. - As known from the prior art in fiber web producing processes typically comprise an assembly formed by a number of apparatuses arranged consecutively in the process line. A typical production and treatment line comprises a head box, a wire section and a press section as well as a subsequent drying section and a reel-up. The production and treatment line can further comprise other devices and sections for finishing the fiber web, for example, a sizer, a calender, a coating section. The production and treatment line also comprises at least one winder for forming customer rolls as well as a roll packaging apparatus. In this description and the following claims by fiber webs are meant for example paper and board webs.
- In production of fiber webs, for example of paper or board webs, sizing is used to alter the properties of a fiber web by adding sizing agents, for example glue chemicals. In surface sizing the sizing agent is added onto the surface of the fiber web directly or via a roll at the dry end of the fiber web machine. Internal sizing is done at the wet end of the fiber web machine by using different kinds of chemical treatments in order to influence the penetration of a liquid, for example of water into the fiber web. By sizing the strength properties of the fiber web are increased and also the dusting of the fiber web is decreased.
- The sizing of paper and board web typically utilize a separate sizer. In connection with the sizer different kinds of sizing technology are employed in prior art arrangements, for example pond sizing technology or film-transfer technology or spray sizing technology.
- Coated fiber web grades and coating are becoming more and more popular and thus the coating processed and equipment have increasing demands imposed thereon. In coating, especially in pigment coating the surface of a fiber web is formed with a layer of coating paste (coating agent) at a coating station followed by drying. The formation of a coating paste can be divided in supplying the coating paste onto the web surface directly or via a roll, which is called the application of the coating paste, as well as in the adjustment of final amount of coating paste.
- The coating of paper and board web typically utilize a coating device - a coater. In connection with the coater different kinds of coating technology are employed in prior art arrangements, for example curtain technology or blade coating technology or rod coating technology or air brush coating technology or spray coating technology.
- In
FI patent application 20075348 DE 102008021541 ) is disclosed a process for treatment of a fiber web in which treatment medium is applied on a surface of the web by guiding the web through an inlet slot in an application zone in which a spraying nozzle is located. The treatment medium is applied on the web by the nozzle and then the web is guided through a nip formed between two passing surfaces. In the process air and fog of the treatment medium is removed from the application zone through a discharge channel in which an organ is arranged for creating in the application zone a lower pressure level than the ambient pressure. - In
FI patent application 20096039 DE 10210040291 ) a device is disclosed a spraying arrangement which comprises at least one treatment zone and an inlet opening for a fiber web. The inlet opening comprises converging surface which in relation to the running track of the web converges in the direction of the web to insist an air flow flowing with the web to pack in pressure zone formed between the web and the converging surface and the converging surface is also provided for preventing the flow of air or mist of the treatment medium out through the inlet slot. - In prior art arrangements an inlet opening / inlet slot of the application chamber / spraying chamber / treatment zone has typically been relatively narrow. In practice the opening must not be too wide since it would make it possible for too much air to flow in the treatment zone but the opening must be wide enough for providing enough space between the web and the edge surface of the opening. In case there is too little space the web would contact the edge of the opening and scrape against the surface and cause fluttering of the web.
- The scraping of the web against the surface of the edge causes wear of the surface and of the web, and also dusting. The dust and dirt caused by the scraping may cause problems in the treatment zone and make the running time of the arrangement for a long period almost impossible. The scraping and the fluttering of the web may also cause web breaks.
- In prior art arrangements treatment zone is usually in lower pressure than the ambient pressure for preventing the air and mist of the treatment medium from flowing out through the inlet opening. In case the inlet opening is made bigger more air / mist must be removed from the treatment zone by suction which increases energy consumption significantly. It may also cause quality or running problems due to insufficient suction capacity for example due to mist forming into droplets that drop on the web or due to accumulations of treatment medium causing web breaks. As in the present days the running speeds of fiber web machines tend to increase and simultaneously the web width of the fiber webs to be produced tend to widen also more capacity is needed of the means creating the lower pressure in the treatment zone, for example of blowers. This means significantly more energy consumption and more costs since more efficient means are needed or their number must be increased in order to create the sufficient suction effect in the treatment zone.
- It is known from prior art that spraying arrangement is located on one or on both sides of the fiber web. In the arrangements that comprise spraying on both sides of the web one problem is that the lower pressure than the ambient pressure prevails on both sides of the fiber web which further increases the runnability problems of the fiber web especially instability of the web easily increases and in case the arrangement is of the nip-less type i.e. the treatment zone is not followed by a nip, the case is even more problematic and especially if both sides of the web is provided with the spraying arrangement. These factors thus also lead to increased need of suction capacity.
- Generally speaking one of the main weaknesses in known prior art arrangements is the problem of instability of the fiber web which leads to the need of increased suction air in order to reach the stability of the fiber web run.
- It is also known from prior art that often in spraying arrangements the spraying means are located inside a hood that also prevents the treatment mist comprising mist droplets of moisture and treatment substance to spread outside the treatment zone of the spraying arrangement. As preventing means typically are used suction nozzles located at the outlet side of the hood i.e. at the side from which the fiber web to be treated is guided out from the treatment zone. The suction nozzles remove air and mist via a suction channel to mist separator and further out from the suction device. At the inlet side the air flow provided by the passing fiber web usually prevents at least partially the spreading of the mist from the treatment zone. As preventing means it is also know to locate the edges of the hood as close as the fiber web as possible but by this full control of mist is not achieved. The suction device needed from removing and separating the mist needs a large amount of air for creating a fast enough flow to remove the mist all the way to the separator in order to keep the suction device clean. The mist separator is typically expensive and rather complicated equipment and also the space needed for the channels and the device in itself might cause space problems in some cases.
- An object of the invention is provide a device in which above disadvantages of the prior art arrangements are eliminated or at least minimized.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device in which less suction air is needed and thus the energy consumption is lower.
- A further non-necessary object of the invention is to eliminate or at least minimize the disadvantages of prior art relating to the stability of the fiber web run in a treatment zone, especially in a spraying zone where surface treatment agent such as sizing agent or coating agent is applied, especially sprayed, onto the passing fiber web.
- A further non-necessary object of the invention is to eliminate or at least minimize the disadvantages of prior art relating to mist removal from the treatment zone.
- In order to achieve the above objects the device according to the invention is mainly characterized by the features of the characterizing part of
claim 1. - According to the invention a device for applying treatment substance on at least one surface of the fiber web, which treatment device for applying treatment substance on the at least one surface of the fiber web may apply the treatment substance directly onto the at least one surface of the web or the treatment substance may be applied onto the at least one surface of the web via a roll onto surface of which the treatment device is provided to apply the treatment substance, which device comprises a treatment zone, such as a spraying zone, in which the treatment substance is applied. The device comprises means for providing gas flows at least at the inlet opening of the treatment zone.
- According to the invention the device for treating a fiber web, in particular a device for applying treatment substance on at least one surface of the fiber web directly or via a roll, which device comprises a treatment zone, such as a spraying zone, to which zone the fiber web is driven through an inlet opening limited by at least one wall. The device comprises means for providing gas flows that influence the run of the passing fiber web for stabilizing the run of the fiber web in the treatment zone. The means influencing the run of the passing fiber web comprise means providing gas flows influencing the run of the passing fiber web comprise nozzle means for pressurizing the treatment zone to a higher pressure than the ambient pressure.
- It should be note that terms narrow and high refer to the height of the opening, not to the width of the opening in the width direction of the web. By narrow is meant opening having height of 30 - 70 mm, advantageously 45 - 55 mm, measured from the web to the closest part of the wall limiting the inlet opening. The air amount is 100 - 1200 m3/h/m, advantageously 500 - 1000m3/h/m of width of the web for one side of the web.
- Even though the invention is here described mainly in reference to spray sizing and spray coating the inventive idea is utilizable also in other inlet type openings in which the web is led through a narrow opening to a treatment zone.
- According to the advantageous aspect of the invention the device for treating a fiber web, in particular a device for applying treatment substance for treating a passing fiber web on at least one surface of the fiber web, comprises a treatment zone, such as a spraying zone, in which zone the fiber web is driven through an inlet opening limited by at least one wall. The device comprises at least one nozzle means for pressurizing the treatment zone to a higher pressure than the ambient pressure. Advantageously the over pressure in the treatment zone is on average 10 - 300 Pa compared to the ambient pressure. According to an advantageous feature of the invention the nozzle means for pressurizing the treatment zone comprises at least one slit nozzle located at the inlet opening providing gas flow, preferably air flow at least partially towards the passing fiber web. Preferably the means for pressurizing the treatment zone comprise two slit nozzles at one side of the passing fiber web providing gas flows at least partially towards the passing fiber web and one slit nozzle is located at the inlet opening and the other nozzle is located at an outlet opening of the treatment zone or before a treatment nip to which the treatment zone ends. The gas flows of the two slit nozzles may be directed at least partially opposite to each other and inclined in relation to the passing fiber web such that the flows of the two nozzles create an over pressurized area in between for supporting and stabilizing the web. The over pressurized area can also be created by flows that are not directed opposite to each other. According to advantageous aspect the device according to the second embodiment comprises corresponding means on both sides of the fiber web. According to an advantageous feature the gas flows provide simultaneously sealing means for preventing the treatments substance mist to spread from the treatment zone. According to an advantageous feature the slit nozzle is a float nozzle.
- According to an advantageous feature the device is provided with at least one removal channel for removing the treatment substance mist from the treatment zone.
- The device according to the advantageous aspect of invention is utilizable both in cases where the fiber web is guided through a nip after the treatment zone and in cases where the fiber web is guided from the treatment zone through an outlet opening. In case the invention is utilized in connection with a treatment zone with an outlet opening i.e. nip-less treatment advantageously the outlet opening is provided with sealing means, preferably based on sealing by gas flows.
- According to another advantageous aspect of the invention a device for applying treatment substance on at least one surface of the fiber web, which device for applying treatment substance on the at least one surface of the fiber web may apply the treatment substance directly onto the at least one surface of the web or the treatment substance may be applied onto the at least one surface of the web via a roll onto surface of which the device is provided to apply the treatment substance, which device comprises a treatment zone, such as a spraying zone, in which the treatment substance is applied. In this embodiment the treatment zone is located inside a hood and the means for providing gas flows are located at the inlet and the outlet opening of the treatment zone i.e. nozzles providing gas flows are located at the inlet and at the outlet edge of the hood. By the gas flow at the inlet edge the air flow created by the moving surface of the passing fiber web or the rotating roll is prevented, which air flow would otherwise create harmful turbulent flows and increase the pressure in the treatment zone inside the hood. According to an advantageous feature by utilizing the ejector effect and the direction of the flow the mist flow is directed towards the surface of the fiber web or the roll. According to an advantageous feature by the amount and direction of the gas flow from the nozzles the mist adherence to the surface of the web or the roll is controlled. According to a further advantageous feature an adjustable slit is provided between the nozzle and the treatment zone by which gap part of the needed gas flow is provided. This enhances the gas flow and provides for increased adherence of the mist onto the surface of the fiber web or the roll without increasing the amount of suction needed for removing the mist uncontrollably.
- The above advantageous features of the invention can be combined in various way to provide further advantages of the invention in spraying arrangements for treating a fiber web. In the above description by the terms first and second are not meant any preference of the embodiments but only to indicate the two advantageous aspects of the invention.
- In the following the invention is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing in which
-
Figures 1 - 4 show schematically the behavior of gas flows and web in an inlet opening. -
Figures 5A - 5D show schematically some advantageous examples of the form of the inlet opening. -
Figure 6 shows schematically one advantageous example of the device. -
Figure 7 shows schematically one further advantageous example of the device. -
Figure 8 shows schematically yet one further advantageous example of the device. - In the figures and the following description by same reference signs are indicated corresponding parts or subassemblies unless otherwise mentioned. In
figures 1 - 6 the inlet opening is referred byreference sign 15 and the wall is referred byreference sign 10. The web is referred by reference sign W and its running direction is marked by arrow S. In thefigures 1 - 4 by smaller arrows are referred to gas flows in the inlet opening 15 area of thetreatment zone 20, forexample spraying zone 20. The web W enters the treatment zone through the inlet opening 15 formed between the web W and thewall 10 of the beam, for example spray-beam. In thefigure 6 the gas flows are indicated by arrows F1; F2. Thefigures 1 - 5D are examples in which only one side of the fiber web W is treated but they are as well utilizable in connection with arrangements in which both sides of the fiber web are treated. In the example offigure 6 both sides of the fiber web are treated but correspondingly this arrangement is utilizable when only one side of the web is treated. Infigure 7 is shown a one-sided example with a nip and infigure 8 is shown a two-sided example where the application of the treatment substance is provided via rolls. - In
figure 1 is shown the situation when the web W is far enough from thewall 10. In thetreatment zone 20 is lower pressure caused by the suction of air and mist of the treatment medium. The lower pressure draws a great amount of air into thetreatment zone 20 through the inlet opening 15 between thewall 10 and the web W. - In
figure 2 the web W is close to thewall 10. The low pressure in thetreatment zone 20 increases significantly as the web W moves closer to thewall 10 since the air amount transmitted into thetreatment zone 20 with the web W decreases. - In
figure 3 the web W contacts thewall 10 and in theopening gap 21 between the wall and the web W greater low pressure creates and no replacement air is received outside thetreatment zone 20 and thus the web W stays in contact with thewall 10. - In
figure 4 the situation is as infigure 3 but thewall 10 is made uneven in height and thus its distance from the web W (figs. 1 - 4 ) varies such that in width direction the height of the inlet opening alters at least partly which is indicated by dashedwall openings 11 thus when the web W contacts thewall 10 still air is received to thetreatment zone 20 via openings between the web W and the wider parts of the inlet opening 15 i.e. between thewall openings 11 and the web W thus the force pulling the web W to contact with thewall 10 does not increase very much and the web W loosens from the contact with thewall 10. - In
figures 5A - 5D are some advantageous examples of the form of thewall 10 the inlet opening 15 (figs. 1 - 4 ) such that thewall 10 is uneven in height and thus its distance from the web W (figs. 1 - 4 ) varies such that in width direction the height of theinlet opening 15 alters at least partly atwall openings 11. - In the examples of
figures 5A, 5B and 5D the form of thewall 10 is provided with continuous wavelike pattern, the higher part of the wave being closer to the web W and the opening for replacement air is created by the lower part of the wave, as indicated in the figures bywall openings 11. - In the example of
figure 5C the form of thewall 10 to be uneven has been constructed by attaching wires or corresponding protrudingparts 12 on thewall 10 spaced apart at a distance from each other and forming the openings for replacement air and thus creatingwall openings 11. - The uneven form of the
wall 10 such thatwall openings 11 are provided can be constructed by many various forms and patterns; it can be of continuous or discontinuous pattern, different types of wavelike forms can be designed, It can be constructed by forming thewall 10, it can be created by using separate parts attached to the wall etc. - In the example of
figure 6 the fiber web W is passed through the inlet opening 15 between thewalls 10 into thetreatment zone 20 in which atreatment devices 30 are located for applying a treatment agent onto the passing fiber web by sprayingmeans 25 onto the both sides of the web. In connection with thewalls 10 of the inlet opening 15 on both sides of the web W slitnozzles 31, for example float nozzles, are arranged to provide gas flows F1, preferably air flows, at least partially towards the passing fiber web W, advantageously inclined in relation to the running direction S of the fiber web W, as shown in the figure. The main components of the gas flows are indicated in the figure by arrows F1. The spraying means 25 are located in the treatment zone and thetreatment zone 20 further comprisesremoval channels 43 for removing the treatment substance mist from thetreatment zone 20 from both sides of the web W. At the outlet opening 35 at the end of thetreatment zone 20slit nozzles 32, for example float nozzles, are arranged to provide gas flows F2, preferably air flows, at least partially towards the passing fiber web W, advantageously inclined in relation to the running direction S of the fiber web W, as shown in the figure. The main components of the gas flows are indicated in the figure by arrows F2. The gas flows F1, F2 in connection with theinlet opening 15 and theoutlet opening 35 provide sealing means for preventing the treatment substance mist to spread from thetreatment zone 20. The gas flows F1, F2 directed at least partially opposite to each other create an over pressurized area in between for supporting and stabilizing the web W. - In arrangements where the outlet from the treatment zone is arranged as a treating nip also mechanical sealing can be used to prevent the treatment substance mist to spread from the treatment zone.
- In the example of
figure 7 onto the in direction S passing fiber web W treatment substance is applied by sprayingmeans 25 of atreatment device 30, for example aspraying device 30. Thetreatment device 30 is located in the area of the closing between the web W and theroll 51. Thetreatment device 30 has nozzles or corresponding means such that gas flows F1; F2 are provided, one gas flow F1 at theinlet opening 15 and another between thetreatment device 30 and theroll 51. The gas flows F1, F2 create an over pressurized area at thetreatment zone 20. The rotation direction of theroll 51 is indicated by arrow S51 and thetreatment device 30 also comprises adoctor 57. - In the example of
figure 8 invention treatment devices 30 for applying treatment substance on the both surfaces of the in direction S passing fiber web W are located inside ahood 45. Thetreatment devices 30 apply the treatment substance TS by sprayingmeans 25 onto the surfaces of an in directionsS51 rotating rolls 51 and in the nip formed between therolls 51 the treatment substance TS is applied onto the both surfaces of the fiber web. Thetreatment device 20 comprises atreatment zone 20, such as a sprayingzone 20, in which the treatment substance is applied by sprayingmeans 25. Thetreatment zone 20 is located inside thehood 45 and themeans inlet 15 and theoutlet 35 opening of thetreatment zone 20 i.e. nozzles providing gas flows F1, F2 are located at the inlet and at the outlet edge of thehood 45. By the gas flows F1 at the inlet edge the air flows created by the moving surface the rotating rolls 51 is prevented and which air flow would otherwise create harmful turbulent flows and the flow the treatment substance mist flow is directed towards the surface of theroll 51. In thefigure 8 by dashed line arrows air and mist flows are indicated. - Above the invention has been described by referring to some advantageous examples only. Many modifications and variations are possible within the inventive idea.
