Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for pulp drying, said apparatus comprising a wet end, including at least a former section for supplying pulp to be dried thereto from a headbox or the like, and a press assembly constituted by at least one press section, a web formed within the former section being adapted to pass therethrough.
- the invention relates also to a method for starting up a pulp-drying or the like machine and process.
- the invention relates to a method for increasing the dry content of pulp by means of a pulp-drying machine, said drying machine comprising at least a former section and a press section, in which method the dry content of pulp is increased through dewatering over the former section at least to about 13-20%, followed by increasing the dry content further by pressing the web.
- pulp i.e. a chemical stock, e.g. for reinforcing a web or providing it with desired qualities.
- Pulp is typically mixed in with e.g. a stock matter in a given desired amount.
- pulp is only used in paper making for a part of the entire amount of paper to be produced.
- the pulp can be received along pipelines from a pulp mill connected to the actual paper mill.
- a large portion of the produced pulp is used in paper mills far away from the pulp mill itself, i.e. the pulp is manufactured as so-called market pulp.
- Fig. 1 depicts schematically one principal type of the prior art wet end for pulp- drying machines, comprising a Fourdrinier-wire forming section 2, wherein the stock to be delivered by means of a headbox 1 onto a Fourdrinier wire 7 is first subjected to dewatering, the dry content downstream of the wire section being typically about 20%.
- a web W is carried to a press section, which includes e.g. a so-called combi-press, wherein the web travels in a supported manner through two press nips N2-N3.
- a press section which includes e.g. a so-called combi-press, wherein the web travels in a supported manner through two press nips N2-N3.
- the wire section can be provided with a separate nip N1, a so-called lump breaker, whose purpose, in addition to increasing the dry content, is to break up pulp lumps which are formed too early and/or are excessively large, as suggested even by its name.
- a lump breaker, rolls 3, 16, is provided with standard press rolls.
- the lump breaker is linked with the run of a top felt 5 of a combi-press, which is not necessary. Downstream of the combi-press, the web has a dry content of roughly 40%, followed by advancing it to a fourth press/separate press, e.g. to a SymBeltTM-shoe press, rolls 18, 19, from whose press nip N4 the web is carried further to evaporation drying at a dry content of about 50%.
- the lump breaker used in this solution is highly sensitive in terms of adjusting a nip pressure. If the linear pressure is increased too much, the web becomes useless, in other words, its fabric structure breaks up and carrying the web forward in the machine becomes impossible.
- the susceptibility to web breaks in such a solution is further increased by a plurality of unsupported transfers at a relatively low dry content.
- Pulp web is heavy (here e.g. 1500 g/m 2 ), and, in the prior known solutions, such a tail may easily fold on itself. Such phenomenon is highly undesirable and, upon reaching the following press nip, it may cause structural damage, like break the press felt.
- a further object of the invention is to provide an arrangement for effecting the web formation and wet pressing of pulp even at high speeds (> 200 m/min), and for reducing the tail threading time, and, furthermore, for making the web passage more stable, the wet end improving in terms of its runnability and the break risk being substantially reduced.
- the pulp web is essentially limited and/or supported both from below and above in terms of its movement over the press section, whereby the tail resulting from a possible break incident travels in a controlled manner through the presses without damaging the equipment.
- the present invention provides also a starting method for a pulp-drying machine and process, wherein the start-up of production is accomplished very rapidly and safely.
- an apparatus of the invention is principally characterized by what is set forth in the characterizing section of claim 1.
- a method of the invention for starting a pulp-drying machine and process is principally characterized by what is set forth in the characterizing section of claim 9.
- a method of the invention for increasing the dry content of pulp by means of a pulp-drying machine is principally characterized by what is set forth in the characterizing section of claim 12. More specifically, the basic idea for one feature of the invention is that the passage of a pulp web is conducted as a supported transfer through the entire wet end, i.e. at least over such a machine section, in which the dewatering is effected in a substantially mechanical fashion. According to the method of the invention, the pulp web has its dry content increased at least to a value of more than about 40%, preferably to a value of more than about 50%, upstream of the first unsupported transfer.
- the pulp-drying machine comprises a former section with its wire loop for forming a web from stock.
- the web is guided, supported by a lower wire, to and through at least one press, said press preferably comprising, according to the invention, at least a first long-nip press, which is provided with at least one water- receiving fabric, in other words a felt, separated from the lower wire, and which includes an upper shoe roll with its felt loop (a first upper felt), as well as a lower, open-surface, water-receiving, preferably bored-through counter roll which, at the same time, functions as a drawing roll for the wire section.
- a first long-nip press which is provided with at least one water- receiving fabric, in other words a felt, separated from the lower wire, and which includes an upper shoe roll with its felt loop (a first upper felt), as well as a lower, open-surface, water-receiving, preferably bored-through counter roll which, at the same time, functions as a drawing roll for the wire section.
- the web Downstream of this press, according to the invention, the web is guided, supported by the fabric, to a next press which preferably comprises, according to the invention, a second long- nip press which includes a preferably lower shoe roll with its felt loop (a first lower felt), as well as an upper counter roll with its felt loop. Between the presses, according to the invention, the web is carried at least over part of its passage between two fabrics.
- the section, across which the web is carried between the fabrics involves the use of an arrangement provided with a so-called transfer vacuum box or the like for subjecting a desired fabric to a vacuum effect at least during the starting sequence of a drying process.
- the supported transfer of a pulp web is arranged preferably as a closed transfer between at least two successive presses, e.g. long-nip presses, included in a press assembly, such that the web travels the distance between the presses between two support fabrics, preferably between an upper felt and a lower felt.
- the upper-felt guide roll and the lower-felt guide roll are positioned in such a way that the upper-felt guide roll is closer to the upper roll of a press associated therewith than the distance of the lower-felt guide roll from the lower roll of a second press associated therewith.
- the felt loop includes other felt guiding rolls, as well.
- the starting of a pulp-drying machine and process comprises preferably as described hereinafter.
- the pulp-drying machine comprises at least a section, over which the dewatering is carried out essentially as so-called mechanical dewatering (for the sake of briefness, the term used hereinafter is wet end), whereby the starting sequence of a pulp-drying machine and/or process comprises running the wet end initially at a desired speed and supplying some diluent, preferably water, used in stock, as an input flow onto a wire section or the like from a headbox or the like, followed by increasing the consistency of the input flow, thus beginning to form a pulp web, whose grammage and thickness increase in a substantially continuous fashion, without discontinuities, and, from the moment of its formation, the forming web is carried through the entire wet end, i.e.
- Such a method is capable of starting production as soon as the web has desired qualities and, on the other hand, such a method eliminates completely a so-called tail threading sequence in the wet end, which requires that a cut narrow web strip be first threaded through a section of the machine.
- the method of the invention wherein the web is guided through the entire wet end as soon as a fiber network, i.e. a web, is forming, is capable of avoiding e.g. the discontinuities for machine components encountered in a tail threading process performed with a web of standard thickness.
- a fiber network i.e. a web
- One example of such is e.g. a situation, in which a shoe press has only a tail threaded therethrough, whereby e.g.
- the process start-up is effected by guiding the web through the entire wet end as soon as it begins to form, the web traveling for the first time through the wet end in a condition thinner than a standard running condition, thus minimizing the risk of damaging the equipment.
- machine width is understood to refer either to a web having the same width as the web produced over a former section (i.e. untrimmed web) or to a trimmed web downstream of the wire section, i.e. nowhere within the boundaries of a wet end is the web narrowed for threading.
- Fig. 1 shows one press assembly of the prior art
- Fig. 2 shows a press assembly of the invention in one preferred embodiment
- Fig. 3 shows a press assembly of the invention in a second preferred embodiment
- Fig. 4 shows a press assembly of the invention in yet another preferred embodiment.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a pulp-drying machine of the prior art, comprising a headbox 1 for feeding pulp onto a Fourdrinier wire 7 included in a Fourdrinier- wire section 2, said wire extending around a reverse roll 3 present in the downstream end of the wire section, and around a drawing roll 4 as well as a number of guide rolls.
- the Fourdrinier wire section 2 includes typically e.g. a forming board, foils, vacuum foil boxes, and vacuum boxes (not shown in fig. 1 , but schematically visible in fig. 3 designated by reference numeral 41 ), whereby the pulp carried on top of the Fourdrinier wire is dewatered such that the pulp web has a dry content of about 13-20% downstream of the Fourdrinier-wire section.
- a web W is guided to a first press nip N1 of a combi-press, which is a so-called lump breaker, already described in more detail, and which is constituted by rolls 3 and 16, and thence further to nips N2 and N3, the centre roll thereof comprising e.g. a suction roll 15 and the counter rolls thereof comprising e.g. smooth rolls 4 and 17, respectively.
- the centres roll thereof comprising e.g. a suction roll 15 and the counter rolls thereof comprising e.g. smooth rolls 4 and 17, respectively.
- the web W is carried to a nip N4 constituted by rolls 18 and 19, around which extends an upper felt 6 and, respectively, a lower felt 9.
- the web is typically delivered to evaporation drying. Downstream of the nip N4, the web has a dry content which is typically about 50%.
- Fig. 2 shows schematically an apparatus of the invention for forming a web W.
- the apparatus comprises a headbox 1 for supplying pulp, in accordance with the invention, into a converging wedge-shaped space defined between two endless wire loops, such as an upper wire 29 and a lower wire 28.
- the wedge-shaped space is constructed by adapting the wires 28, 29 to travel around spaced-apart reverse rolls 25a, 25b, set in the upstream end of the space, and thereafter in a converging fashion for defining a wedge-shaped space.
- chamber units 40 In engagement with the inner surface (the side facing away from pulp flow) of the wires are mounted chamber units 40, including a plurality of dewatering chambers 40a.
- the pulp While being carried through the space, the pulp is dewatered in such a way that, downstream of a former section 2, the dry content is about 18%, preferably about 20%. Thereafter, more water is removed according to the invention, while the web W remains supported between the two wires, by compressing the assembly between two rolls 45, 46. This is followed by guiding the upper wire 29 and the lower wire 28 away from each other, and the web W is advanced further according to the invention on the top surface of the lower wire 28, the web having a dry content of roughly 28%.
- the web travels fully supported.
- the lower wire 28 has its bottom surface provided with a so-called vacuum transfer box 44 for a secure passage of the web along with the lower wire.
- the web W, supported by the top surface of the lower wire 28, is carried further through a nip PN1 of a press 20, said press 20 comprising a first long-nip press provided with an upper felt 23, i.e. the web W travels with its top against the felt 23 and its bottom against the lower wire 28 in the long nip PN1 between rolls 21 and 22.
- the web W is dried such that, downstream of the long nip PN1 , it has a dry content of roughly 40%.
- Drying of the web W is continued according to the invention in such a way that the web is first carried, supported by the upper felt 23 on its bottom surface, to a next press 30, comprising, according to the invention, preferably a second long-nip press provided with a lower shoe press 32 with its felt loop 34 (first lower felt), as well as with an upper counter roll 31 with its felt loop, wherein a felt 33 extends around guide rolls 36.
- a next press 30 comprising, according to the invention, preferably a second long-nip press provided with a lower shoe press 32 with its felt loop 34 (first lower felt), as well as with an upper counter roll 31 with its felt loop, wherein a felt 33 extends around guide rolls 36.
- the first upper felt 23 travels from the first press 20 to an upper-felt guide roll 24a, from which it is guided upwards for a so-called return run (by way of guide rolls 24b-24f), while the first lower felt 34 of the second press returns from a so-called lower return run (guide rolls 35e, 35d, 35c, 35b) to a lower-felt guide roll 35a, whereby the first lower felt 34 is guided to travel to the second press 30.
- the web W is initially guided, supported by the first upper felt 23 on its bottom surface, a certain given distance, then between the first upper felt 23 and the first lower felt 34 a certain given distance, and then on the top surface of the first lower felt 34 to the second press 30, and further therethrough. As the web W is traveling on the bottom surface of the upper felt 23, its passage can be secured by vacuum boxes or the like in the inner run of the felt (not shown in the figure).
- that section, over which the web is carried between the first upper felt 23 and the first lower felt 34, has the first lower felt preferably provided with a so-called transfer vacuum box 42 or the like for subjecting the first lower felt 34 to a vacuum effect at least during the machine start-up sequence.
- the upper felt 23 has its first guide roll 24a and the lower felt 33 has its last guide roll 35a positioned in such a way that said guide roll 24a of the upper felt 23 is closer to the upper roll 21 of the first long-nip press 20 than the distance that separates the last guide roll 35a of the lower felt 33 from the lower roll 32 of the second long-nip press 30.
- the above-described method of the invention is capable of forming the web W in a pulp-drying machine efficiently and reliably.
- This solution simplifies the web forming section and provides a reliable assembly for pulp drying, as the web W is comprehensively supported until its dry content is even more than 50%, whereby it has a sufficient strength to withstand without breaking a first unsupported transfer to the next process phase, even at high production rates.
- a second preferred embodiment of the invention depicted in fig. 3 the combi- press of fig. 1 constituted by two nips N2-N3 has been replaced with a long-nip press 20, comprising an extra-wire long nip roll 21 and an intra-wire drawing roll 22, constituting therebetween a long nip PN1.
- Pulp web is typically very thick and, therefore, a long action time of compression according to the invention is particularly preferred, especially at the dry content proposed by the invention, i.e. at the stage, in which the pulp web already has its fiber network sufficiently bonded, yet the web still contains plenty of water removable by pressing.
- the pulp web is carried, according to the invention, to a next press 30, preferably a long-nip press, constituted by rolls 31 , 32, whereof the lower roll 32 is preferably a long nip roll, the web W traveling through two successive long nips PN1 and PN2 prior to being delivered to evaporation-drying equipment or some other further treatment.
- the web Downstream of the second long nip PN2, the web has a dry content of more than about 50%, preferably more than about 55%, and most advantageously about 60%.
- the handling of the entire wet end of a web is performed throughout the passage in a fully supported manner. In fig.
- the web is hence initially carried downstream of the press PN1 supported by a first upper felt 23, on its bottom surface, to the next, second press 30, preferably comprising, according to the invention, a second long-nip press provided with a lower shoe roll 32 with its felt loop 34 (first lower felt), as well as with an upper counter roll 31 with its felt loop 33.
- the first felt 23 runs from the first press 20 to a first upper-felt guide roll 24a, from which it is guided upwards for a so-called return run while the first lower felt 34 of the second press 30 returns from a so-called lower return run to the last lower-felt guide roll 35a used for guiding the first lower felt to advance to the second press.
- the web W is carried first supported by the first upper felt 23 on the bottom surface thereof for a given distance, then between the first upper felt 23 and the first lower felt 34 for a given distance, and thereafter on the top surface of the first lower felt 34 to the second press and further therethrough.
- the upper felt 33 of the last press 30 is fitted with devices 37, 38 for releasing the web W from the surface of the felt 33.
- Such devices may be needed in the start-up of a machine as the presently thin web may strive to tag along with the upper felt, which is undesirable.
- Such devices include preferably a roll 37, fitted with a doctor 38 which is engageable with the surface of the felt 33, whereby the forming web W accompanies instead the smoother roll surface and is guided on top of the lower felt.
- doctors 38 directly on the felt 33, as shown in fig. 2. In the respective position, it is also possible to use for example air blasting, which is also shown in fig. 2.
- the described methods can also be used concurrently.
- Fig. 4 depicts yet another possibility of implementing a supported transfer of the invention, as well as the start-up of a machine.
- this is slightly more inconvenient implementation than those depicted in figs. 2 and 3.
- a closed transfer between the long-nip presses 20, 30 has been accomplished by means of the lower wire 28 of the wire section and a second upper felt 33 associated with the downstream long-nip press 30.
- the upper felt extends around guide rolls 47a-47f.
- the upper felt 33 is preferably provided with a transfer vacuum box 43 or the like for subjecting, if necessary, the second upper felt 34 to a vacuum effect.
