  • the blow nozzles are arranged in several superposed, typically horizontal nozzle levels having almost the length of the pulp dryer.
  • the pulp web is typically brought into the pulp dryer through its first end, the so-called wet end. Then the pulp web is conveyed on the uppermost nozzle level of the pulp dryer to the second end of the device. In the ends of the device there are typically turn rolls, over which the pulp web is turned each time to the next, lower nozzle level.
  • the pulp web When the pulp web is brought to the lowest nozzle level of the pulp dryer, the pulp web is removed from the pulp dryer, typically through the second end of the pulp dryer.

  • a typical prior art pulp dryer thus comprises an actual drying section, where the pulp web is dried by air floatation drying with hot air jets or the like, and at least one, usually several recirculation fans arranged adjacent to the actual drying section, with which recirculation fans moist air is removed from the actual drying section, and with which heated air is blown as drying air into the actual drying section, and heating devices, with which the removed moist air is heated before it is returned as drying air into the actual drying section.
  • Pulp dryer typically has, in both its end parts, several superposed rows of access doors, which rows comprise a number of adjacent access doors. The access doors are closed during normal operation of the pulp dryer, and during maintenance, such as after a web break, the access doors may be opened.

  • Web break situations are often problematic, since locating a web break inside a pulp dryer is difficult.
  • the process operators are forced to look for the disturbance point by opening several access doors in different rows and examining visually the inner part of the pulp dryer and turn rolls.
  • Corresponding problems occur also in tail threading situations when a narrow pulp web or threading tail breaks.

  • a monitoring member is used for monitoring the end part area of the pulp dryer, which monitoring member is a machine vision unit.
  • a normal tail threading situation may thus be observed at the first turn roll, while for example the narrow end of the pulp web or the threading tail is no longer observed at the subsequent turn roll.
  • the invention may also be used to predict to some extent possible future disturbance situations, for example if the narrow end of the pulp web is observed to wander on the turn rolls toward the outer edge of the roll, whereby there is a danger that it may "collide" with the edge of the pulp dryer.
  • possible disturbance situations may be assessed in advance, it is also possible to take anticipatory measures, by which the emergence of the disturbance situation may possibly be completely prevented.
  • the machine vision unit is arranged in connection with the first end part of the pulp dryer, for example in the end wall of the pulp dryer or in connection with the ceiling structures of the pulp dryer, and it is directed to monitor incidents in the inner part of the pulp dryer.
