Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wet press for dewatering a web with a rotating roller and a pressing device, between which the web is guided together with at least one water-absorbing belt in a press nip along part of the circumference of the roll, the pressing device having a hydrostatic pressure element, which is in the pressing direction Movable support shoe, which has at least two pressure pockets one behind the other in the press nip in the direction of travel of the web, which are connected to channels with a common pressure chamber supplied with pressure medium.
  • Such wet presses are known for example from DE 23 13 920 and are used for dewatering, e.g. a paper or cardboard web or other fibrous material, the web being passed together with, for example, a water-absorbent felt belt and a water-impermeable press belt through a press nip formed by a roller and a hydrostatic pressure element.
  • a press nip formed by a roller and a hydrostatic pressure element.
  • even pressure is achieved in the press nip over a certain length of the web in the running direction, so that the drainage of the web to be pressed is significantly better than with wet presses with two rollers acting only in one line transverse to the web.
  • the drainage performance is not yet optimal, since the contact pressure in the press nip remains almost constant over the entire length,
  • the invention has for its object to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages of known wet presses and in particular to provide a wet press in which improved drainage of a web can be achieved without the need for complicated control of a plurality of printing elements and avoiding a plurality of such printing elements in the running direction, whereby nevertheless, dewatering with successively increasing contact pressure and minimal rewetting is achieved with the least possible effort.
  • the pressing device has a piston which is movable relative to the pressure chamber and which is arranged asymmetrically relative to the support shoe in such a way that the area of the pressure pockets, viewed in the direction of travel of the web, is larger than the area of the piston in front of the central axis of the piston Pressure pockets behind the central axis of the piston.
  • cross sections of the pressure pockets provided one behind the other in the running direction of the web have a decreasing pressing surface and / or that the associated channels have an increasing cross section.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that due to the asymmetrical geometric design of the pressure element, in particular the asymmetrical arrangement of the piston, supported by the different design of the pressure pockets and channels, to counteract a tilting moment due to the efforts of the pressure element to counteract in the pressure pockets Set different pressures in operation, although all pressure pockets are connected to the same pressure chamber via the communicating channels.
  • the asymmetry of the piston, the effective pressure surface, and the cross section of the channels for the pressure pockets provided in the common support shoe should be selected and coordinated with one another in such a way that the gap between the surface of the pressure elements and the counter surface that is created during operation is approximately constant over the entire circumference . If, for example, a larger gap occurs on the inlet side than on the outlet side of the pressure element, the cross section of the channel of the inlet-side pressure pocket can be reduced to such an extent that an equally large gap is established on both sides.
  • the bene wet press shown in Figure 1 consists of a roller 1 and a pressing device 2, between which the web, for example a paper web 3 together with a water-absorbing belt 4, for example a felt belt and a flexible, waterproof jacket 5, in one Press nip 6 is guided along part A of the roller circumference.
  • the paper web is dewatered with a successively increasing pressing pressure, the water emerging from the paper web 3 being absorbed by the felt belt 4.
  • additional belts for example a wire belt, can also be passed through the press nip.
  • the roller 1 can be designed as a solid, tubular or suction roller, or also as a deflection compensation roller, as described for example in US Pat. No. 3,802,044, or as a relatively flexible, band-shaped roller jacket which is suitably supported on the inside.
  • the water-impermeable jacket 5 can be designed as a flexible roller jacket without guide rollers or as an endless rubber band which, if necessary, is guided over several guide rollers 8, 9, 10. In any case, sufficient flexibility and adaptability to the surface of the roller 1 in the press nip 6 must be ensured.
  • the pressing device 2 consists of one or more hydrostatic pressure elements 11 which are arranged next to one another transversely to the direction of travel and which can be embodied, for example, analogously to US 3 802 044.
  • the pistons 20 of these pressure elements can be moved in cylindrical or groove-shaped pressure spaces 12 of a cross member 13 in the pressing direction P and can be inclined to a certain extent against the pressing direction, so that the support shoes 30 of the pressure elements on the counter surface, i.e. the roller surface are adaptable, the pressure chamber 12 is connected to a line 14 and is connected via this with a suitable pressure medium, e.g. Oil or water, supplied with a certain pressure.
  • a suitable pressure medium e.g. Oil or water
  • the support shoes 30 of the pressure elements 11 have a plurality of bearing pockets on their pressing surface, for example two bearing pockets 15 and 16 one behind the other in the running direction L.
  • the effective pressure surface of the inlet-side bearing pocket 15 can be larger than the effective pressure surface of the outlet-side pressure pocket 16.
  • Both pressure pockets 15 and 16 are connected via channels to the common pressure chamber 12, namely the inlet-side pressure pocket 15 by means of a channel 17 with a smaller cross-section and the outlet-side pressure pocket 16 with a channel 18 with a larger cross-section.
  • the piston 20 of the pressure element is arranged asymmetrically relative to the support shoe 30 carried by it, in such a way that the effective pressure surface lying in front of the central axis M of the piston 20 in the running direction L, i.e. essentially the pressure area of the pressure pockets 15, 16 is larger than the effective pressure area lying behind the central axis M of the piston 20, i.e. essentially the printing area of the pressure pocket 16.
  • the described design of the printing elements 11 ensures that, during operation, a higher pressure is set in the printing pocket 16 than in the printing pocket 15, although both printing pockets are in communication with the common pressure chamber 12, so that an improved drainage of the paper web 3 is achieved successively increasing pressure is made possible. Only a single pressing element is required in the running direction, and no separate control devices are required for the pressure pockets provided one behind the other in the running direction. In the asymmetrical pressure elements described, a pressing pressure that gradually increases in the running direction is automatically set.
  • the gap which arises during operation between the pressure surface of the pressure element and the counter surface along the circumference of the pressure surface will be of different sizes, ie the gap on the inlet side will have a different value than on the outlet side.
  • the size of this gap is usually set such that the amount of pressure medium flowing out of the gap from the pressure pockets corresponds to the quantity of pressure medium that is subsequently supplied from the pressure space via the channels into the pressure pockets. Through one end tion of the cross section of the channels 17 and 18, the size of the inlet-side or outlet-side gap can therefore be varied and set to a desired value.
  • the cross sections of the channels will be adapted to the geometry of the printing pockets 15 or 16 in such a way that the gap is the same over the entire circumference of the printing surface of the printing element.
  • Such adaptation of the channels to the associated pressure pockets can be done either by calculation or by observing the gap widths that practically arise and changing the channel cross sections accordingly.
  • the pressure medium not only flows out of the pressure pockets 15 and 16 into the outside area, but since a pressure difference arises in both pressure pockets, there is a tendency for pressure medium to flow over from the pressure pocket 16 with higher pressure into the pressure pocket 15 with lower pressure.
  • slots can be provided on the pressing surface of the pressure element between the pressure pockets 15 and 16, which are connected to a pressure medium drain line 19.
  • the pressure element 11 in the running direction L can also have more than two pressure pockets in succession, for example three pressure pockets 21, 22 and 23 with successively increasing pressure.
  • the effective printing area in the three printing pockets gradually decreases in the running direction L.
  • the three pressure pockets are connected to the common pressure chamber 12 with channels 24, 25 and 26, the cross section of which gradually increases in the running direction L.
  • the support surface 30 is again arranged and formed asymmetrically to the central axis M of the piston 20.
  • Figure 3 shows the pressing surface of a pressing device in the plan.
  • a certain number of pressure pockets are arranged side by side in two rows 15 and 16 transversely to the running direction L.
  • the piston strip 20 is arranged asymmetrically to the pressing surface, the pressure surface of the pressure pockets 15 on the inlet side is larger than that of the pressure pockets 16 on the outlet side, and the cross section of the associated channels 17 of the pressure pockets on the inlet side is smaller than that of the channels 18 of the pressure pockets 16 on the outlet side.
  • the number of pressure pockets in the two rows 15 and 16 can be different, for example as shown, the inlet-side pressure pockets 15 can be made wider than the outlet-side pressure pockets 16. It is only important that the pressure pockets relative to the piston have the above have given asymmetry.
  • the pressing device can also consist of several individual prints arranged side by side transversely to the running direction L.
  • elements 27 1 ... 27 5 exist.
  • Such a drop in pressure inevitably arises at the borders of two adjacent pressure elements even if they are packed close to one another across the width. This leads to uneven drainage across the width of the web and, for example, to an undesirable streakiness of the paper produced.
  • the columns 28 1 ... 28 4 run at an acute angle, ie obliquely to the running direction L.
  • the pressing surfaces of the individual pressure elements 27 1 ... 27 ' are designed as parallelograms. Of course, another design can also be provided, only it must be ensured that the gaps do not run continuously parallel to the running direction L. In any case, this ensures that all zones are treated and dewatered transversely to the paper web with sufficient pressing pressure, thereby avoiding streakiness of the paper produced.
  • the pressing device can have a support shoe 30 which is designed as a continuous bar, but which is carried instead of a piston bar by a plurality of separate pistons 20 1 , 20 2 , 20 3 , each of which belongs to a plurality of pressure pockets, for example in Figure 6 four pressure pockets 15 1 , 15 2 , 16 1 , 16 2 with the same printing area and in Figure 7 two different pressure pockets 15, 16. Also here are the Pressure pockets arranged asymmetrically to the center M of the piston, so that a successively increasing pressing pressure is also achieved in this case.
  • piston is fixedly connected to the support shoe and is movable together with it in a fixed pressure chamber
  • piston can also be fixed and connected to the cross member, while the pressure chamber in the form of a cap on the back of the support shoe provided and is movable relative to the piston.
