Abstract:
Disclosed is an improvement to twin wire forming wherein an open support structure in the form of an opened or grilled breast roll or a slotted forming shoe supports at least a portion of the outer wire in the forming throat. In such manner, the gap between the open support structure and the forming cylinder can be narrowed such that the gap is less than or equal to the thickness of the jet of stock injected between the wire to form the web. The jet of stock so injected impinges on both the forming cylinder and the open support structure and immediate drainage is provided through the outer wire without substantially varying the tension or radius of the outer wire thereby generally improving uniformity and, in particular, improving basis weight uniformity of the web produced.
Abstract:
Amélioration du formage à deux toiles selon laquelle une structure de support ouverte ayant la forme d'un rouleau de tête ouvert ou à lames ou un patin de formage à fentes soutient au moins une partie de la toile machine extérieure dans la gorge de formage. Ainsi, il est possible de réduire l'écart entre la structure de support ouverte et le cylinder de formage de manière à ce que ledit écart soit inférieur ou égal à l'épaisseur du jet de pâte de papier projeté entre les deux toiles pour former la bande de papier. Le jet de pâte à papier ainsi projeté heurte à la fois le cylindre de formage et la structure de support ouverte et un drainage immédiat est opéré à travers la toile machine extérieure sans modification importante de la tension ou du rayon de ladite toile machine extérieure, ce qui améliore généralement l'uniformité et en particulier l'uniformité du poids par rame de la bande de papier produite.
