Abstract
Description
Method and device for passing a web in connection with a finishing device of a paper or board machine The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 7. As known in the state of the art, free draws have been used in paper machines when passing a paper web from one treatment stage to the next. The general trend today is that attempts are being made to pass the paper web as supported from one treatment stage to the next, and the development has indeed moved forward so that the wet end and the dryer section of the paper machine have for the most part been provided with means so that the transfer of paper is supported over the entire distance. However, in finishing there are stages in which unsupported runs of the web are still used at present, for example, in connection with calenders or on-line coating devices. Since the current trend is also that finishing devices are connected as on-line units to the paper machine, the significance of web support matters for the efficiency of the total line is greater than before when using offline further treatment units. Since all unit process devices are in the same chain, the problems presented by free draws in the transfer of the web and possible web breaks cause problems to the entire line and may cause even a shutdown of the entire line. Today's paper machine also aim at increase of speed and decrease of the basis weight of the paper web as well as at higher efficiency requirements. Thus, unsupported runs cause problems, and therefore their elimination is very important. Thus, it is an object of the invention to provide a method and a device in connection with which the run of the web is supported in connection with a finishing device. With respect to the state of the art associated with the invention, reference is made to FIpatent application 973725 which discloses an arrangement in which a web is conveyed by means of a support wire or equivalent to a multi-nip calender from the last drying cylinders placed substantially higher than the other cylinders of a dryer section, on which support wire the web is passed to the first pre-nip of the calender formed between the topmost calender roll and a belt calender roll or a wire guide roll. An arrangement is known from the state of the art in which a paper web is passed as a supported run through a calender supported by a support member which has been guided to run through a calendering nip of the calender. In this respect, reference is made to FI patent 95 061. A problem in this prior-art arrangement is that the support member of paper influences the process itself and thus also the quality of the paper being manufactured as the support member runs through the nip. Further, this restricts the selection of the support member material to be used because the support member thus takes part in the process, which means that the material of the support member shall be selected according to the demands of the process and the process parameters shall be adjusted taking account of the effect of the support member. It is thus a particular object of the invention to provide a fully supported run of the paper web in connection with a finishing device, which does not affect the manufacturing process itself, nor the quality of the paper that is manufactured. With a view to achieving the objects described above as well as those coming out later, the method according to the invention is mainly characterised in that which is set forth in the characterising part of claim 1. The device according to the invention is in turn mainly characterised in that which is set forth in the characterising part of claim 7. In accordance with the invention, a web, in particular a paper or board web, is brought to the circumference of a roll in a finishing device as supported substantially before the nip area and the paper web leaves the circumference of the roll of the finishing device and is passed to be supported by means of a support member substantially after the nip area. In accordance with the invention, the paper web is brought to the finishing device while supported by a support member, for example, a belt, a felt or a wire or equivalent such that the transfer is supported over the entire distance from a preceding treatment stage to said finishing stage, during it and after it further to the following treatment stage after it. In accordance with the invention, a support member loop is used in connection with which two or more rolls have been arranged to guide it, and onto which support member a paper web is passed and on support of which support member the paper web is conveyed into connection with a roll of a finishing device substantially before the nip of the finishing device and, in a corresponding manner, the web is passed by means of a support member loop from a roll of the finishing device to further treatment. The support member runs past the roll substantially tangentially to the roll of the finishing device. The invention is particularly suitable for use in connection with calenders, in particular soft calenders, in which connection it also provides the advantage that, when the support member is placed such that the paper web to be calendered is guided to run on the circumference of a thermo roll before a nip, the paper web and also the support member for its part form a shield which prevents the heat of the thermo roll from evaporating into the surroundings, with the result that the heat of the thermo roll is transmitted to the paper. By this means, the web can be passed to the nip while it is hot and the heat of the thermo roll can be utilised with a greater efficiency than in the arrangements known from the state of the art. The apparatus in accordance with the invention has been placed in connection with a finishing device and the process stage preceding it is constituted by, for example, a dryer section or a coating unit and it is followed by, for example, a reeling or coating unit and, in accordance with the invention, the web runs from the preceding process stage to the subsequent process stage through the process stage in question as supported all the time by means of support members and the rolls used in the process stages. The support member according to the invention is formed of a loop-shaped support member which is guided by two or more rolls, and one or more support member units have been arranged in connection with a finishing device to support the web. When, in accordance with the invention, the run of the web has been provided as supported in connection with a finishing device, it is possible to raise the speed of the paper machine and use paper grades having a lower basis weight. Thereby, a greater efficiency is achieved on the paper machine. A supported run is not so susceptible to web breaks and other disturbances, whereby substantial benefits are achieved in the entire on-line process. In the following, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawing, to the details of which the invention is, however, not by any means meant to be narrowly confined. Figure 1 is a schematic view of one application of the invention in connection with a two-nip soft calender. Figure 2 is a schematic view of one application of the invention in connection with a one-nip soft calender. As shown in Fig. 1, a paper web W is brought by a support member 10 to a Symroll 11 of a soft calender, from which it is passed along the roll 11 into a calendering nip N1 and further from the surface of a thermo roll 12 by means of a support member 13 to a Sym-roll 14 of a subsequent calendering nip N2 and further to a thermo roll 15, from which it is passed by means of a support member 16 to further treatment, for example, to a reel-up. Thus, a loop-shaped support member 13 has also been disposed in connection with the run between the calendering nips N1, N2, on which support member the web W is passed as supported from, for example, a thermo roll of the calendering nip N1 to, for example, a Sym-roll of the following nip N2. As shown in Fig. 2, a paper web W is passed from a dryer section 40 of a paper machine to a support belt 20, by means of which it W is transported to a thermo roll 21 of a calender and passed along its surface to a calendering nip N3 and further along the surface of a Sym-roll 22 to a second support belt 23, which has been placed above the paper web W and in connection with which, for example, blow suction boxes 24,25 have been arranged to support the run of the web W. After that, the web W is passed by means of a roll 26 to further treatment. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a support member unit 30 comprises a support member 10,13,16,20,23, for example, a belt, a wire, a felt or equivalent, which has been arranged to run in a loop-like fashion while guided by guide rolls 33. Depending on the application, two or more guide/alignment rolls 33 have been arranged in connection with each support member 10,13,16,20,23. As illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the paper web W is passed to the calender substantially before the calendering nip N1 ; N2; N3 by means of the support member 10; 13; 20 and the web W is passed away from a roll of the calender substantially after the nip N1 ; N2; N3 and passed to further treatment by means of the support member 13; 16; 23. It shall be particularly noted that the support member does not take part in the process because it does not run through the calendering nip N1, N2, N3, but, instead, the support member brings the web W substantially close to the nip to the circumference of the roll defining the nip and, in a corresponding manner, the support member receives the web substantially after the nip from the circumference of the roll defining the nip. Above, the invention has been described with reference to only some of its advantageous application examples, to the details of which the invention is by no means meant to be narrowly confined.
