Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the production of tissue paper.
  • tissue paper indicates crepe paper of the type of toilet paper and similar products having a grammage of less than 100 g/m 2 , the production process of which has peculiar technical problems.
  • the conventional method of producing tissue paper is carried out using a single-cylinder machine that comprises a dryer cylinder (also known as a “Yankee cylinder” or “Yankee dryer”), and involves drying the paper in contact with the dryer cylinder, usually aided by a hot-air thermal hood with the interposition of a liquid product constituted by a liquid mixture of chemical products, also known as a “coater”.
  • a dryer cylinder also known as a “Yankee cylinder” or “Yankee dryer”
  • a hot-air thermal hood with the interposition of a liquid product constituted by a liquid mixture of chemical products, also known as a “coater”.
  • the paper After drying, the paper is released from the surface of the dryer cylinder by way of a creping blade or rasp, also known as a “creping doctor”, and then it is conveyed to an apparatus for winding to be wound into a spool.
  • a creping blade or rasp also known as a “creping doctor”
  • the liquid mixture is sprayed on the surface of the cylinder using hydraulic nozzles.
  • the liquid mixture that is distributed on the surface of the cylinder comprises the following products, mixed together before being dispensed:
  • the paper after drying, has a certain humidity (which generally needs to be comprised between 4% and 6%) and a grammage as uniform as possible along all the width.
  • the humidity and the grammage of the paper obtained depend partially on the composition and on the quantity of the liquid product dispensed on the cylinder; this product is in fact diluted in water, part of which is evaporated by the Yankee cylinder by contact, and a minimal part is absorbed by the paper.
  • the quality of the paper obtained also depends on the efficacy with which the creping blade removes the paper from the surface of the cylinder, and this efficacy depends in turn on the composition and on the quality of the liquid product dispensed on the cylinder.
  • the dosage of the chemical products for adhesion and release is entrusted to the experience of the operator, by manual actuation: the operator controlling the characteristics of the paper downstream of the cylinder decides, on the basis of their experience and training, whether and how to vary the quantity and composition of the mixture dispensed.
  • the operator is aided by detection devices that detect one or more process parameters (such as the vibration of the creping blade or the overall humidity of the paper downstream of the cylinder), but the choice of the dosage is still entrusted to the operator.
  • transverse dimension of the sheets of tissue paper usually varies from 3 to 6 meters and therefore such sheets have, downstream of the cylinder, a certain variability of grammage over the width, which entails a corresponding variability of humidity over the width: the thicker zones are more humid, while the thinner zones are less humid.
  • the patent document CN102978991 describes a solution that tries to overcome this latter problem by having, for dispensing the products on the cylinder, a series of hydraulic nozzles each of which dispenses all the products already mixed, and the flow of which can be varied individually for each nozzle. In this manner it is possible to vary the quantity of mixture dispensed in a non-uniform manner along the width of the cylinder.
  • this solution does not make it possible to vary the ratio between the chemical products in the mixture in the individual zones, and therefore the dosage ratio of the products will always be the same along all of the width.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a method for the production of tissue paper that solves the above technical problem, compensates for the drawbacks and overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art, by allowing a more effective adjustment of the dispensing of the chemical products on the surface of the cylinder.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a method for the production of tissue paper that makes it possible to correct the variability of humidity of the paper produced across the width.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for the production of tissue paper that makes it possible to minimize the technical problems deriving from the friction of the creping blade on the surface of the cylinder.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for the production of tissue paper that decreases the impact of human error and of the abilities of the operator on the quality of the product obtained.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for the production of tissue paper that is economically advantageous in terms of energy costs and chemical products and water used, and possibly also of reduction of production discards.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for the production of tissue paper, according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a more detailed schematic diagram of part of the apparatus of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a detail, in side view, of an atomizer nozzle of the apparatus according to the invention.

  • the method for the production of tissue paper 90 having a grammage of less than 100 g/m 2 using a single-cylinder machine 10 is provided preferably by the apparatus described below and generally designated by the reference numeral 1.
  • the apparatus 1 for the production of tissue paper comprises a single-cylinder machine 10 which comprises a dryer cylinder 2 (i.e. a dryer cylinder of the type also known as a “Yankee cylinder” or “Yankee dryer”) which has a work surface 21 that has a useful width L that is adapted to be covered by the paper 90.
  • a dryer cylinder 2 i.e. a dryer cylinder of the type also known as a “Yankee cylinder” or “Yankee dryer”
  • a work surface 21 that has a useful width L that is adapted to be covered by the paper 90.
  • the cylinder 2 is, in a known manner, surmounted by a hot air hood 211 which is per se known in the technical sector (they are known as “Yankee hoods”).
  • the term “useful width” L means the width of the work surface 21, which should be understood as the surface portion of the cylinder 2 that is effectively covered by the paper 90 in the drying step, therefore such useful width L can vary according to the width of the paper being in production.
  • the surface of the cylinder 2 presents edge zones 22a, 22b which remain uncovered during the drying step, as they are not covered by the paper 90.
  • the overall width of the edge zones 22a, 22b is equal to the difference between the width of the paper 90 being in production and the total width of the cylinder 2.
  • the apparatus 1 also comprises, in a known manner, a creping blade 3, or rasp or creping cutter, which is configured to release the paper 90 from the work surface 21 of the cylinder 2.
  • the creping blade 3 is positioned, in a known manner, tangentially to the surface of the cylinder 2, and thus is in contact with the entire surface of the cylinder including the edge zones 22a, 22b.

  • the presence of the second vibration sensors 32, 33 makes it possible to detect the vibrations of the creping blade 3 in the zones where this is in direct contact with the surface of the cylinder and not with the paper 90.
  • the vibration sensors 31, 32, 33 are operatively connected to an electronic control system 200 which will be better described hereinbelow.
  • the apparatus 1 also comprises a scanner 8 configured to detect a humidity profile and/or a grammage profile of the paper 90 along the width of the paper 90, downstream of the cylinder 2, i.e., to scan the humidity and/or of the grammage of the paper 90 transversely, detecting how the humidity and/or the grammage of the paper varies transversely.
  • a scanner 8 configured to detect a humidity profile and/or a grammage profile of the paper 90 along the width of the paper 90, downstream of the cylinder 2, i.e., to scan the humidity and/or of the grammage of the paper 90 transversely, detecting how the humidity and/or the grammage of the paper varies transversely.
  • the grammage and the humidity are correlated (they are directly proportional to each other) and therefore the scanner 8 can be configured to detect either the grammage or the humidity (preferably the humidity). However the possibility is not ruled out, for a more exact detection, of detecting both grammage and humidity.
  • the scanner 8 can, for example, be provided with a radioactive source inside a head that scans the paper 90 along its width, or with an infrared sensor, or in another known way.
