Patent number: 5068079Abstract: A method for forming a dry web on the wire, with the fibre material being fed into at least one perforated drumlike forming element that covers essentially the whole width of the web to be formed, in which forming element fibres are conveyed in the drum along the width of the web and screened through the mantle of the forming element onto the wire. To achieve such web formation as has as few disturbances as possible, the fibre material is fed into the drumlike forming element in such a way that the bulk of the fibres, when advancing in the feeding direction toward the other end of the forming element, get screened from the forming element onto the wire, and that those fibres that do not get screened, but travel through the forming element are removed from the forming element and returned for a new defibration.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1990Date of Patent: November 26, 1991Assignee: Yhtyneet Paperitehtaat Oy Walkisoft EngineeringInventor: Helmer Gustafsson

Patent number: 4986883Abstract: A method for calendering paper, especially with glassine calendering in a calender which comprises press rolls arranged successively in the paper-advancing direction where, at least between some of the rolls, press nips are formed for passing paper therethrough. Each press nip is preferably formed by a pair of rolls, one of which is hard and the other elastic. Paper is advanced into the calender at an initial moisture X within the range of 12% .ltoreq..times..ltoreq.25%, at least one of the press nips having a calculable line pressure higher than 250 kN/m. In operating conditions, the ratio X/LP between paper moisture X and calculable line pressure LP is maintained in the press nips within predetermined limits in such a manner that the maximum value of ratio X/LP divided by the minimum value of ratio X/LP is .ltoreq.2.15, whereby X refers to the moisture percentage of paper and LP is the line pressure at a particular press nip expressed as a quantity kN/m (kilonewton/meter).Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1989Date of Patent: January 22, 1991Assignee: Yhtyneet Paperitehtaat OyInventors: Jyrki Taipale, Jaakko Sarantola

Patent number: 4532413Abstract: A steam generator assembly, particularly for use in connection with the mechanical preparation of pulp, for generating pure steam required in a subsequent process, such as drying of proper in a paper machine, by utilizing the condensation heat of contaminated steam coming from a preceding process, such as a grinding process, includes a steam converter and electrical boiler arranged in a common housing to form a unified structure. The steam converter utilizes the condensation heat of the contaminated steam to generate pure steam from water supplied to the converter. The electric boiler is connected in parallel to the steam converter and includes electrodes adapted to generate steam when moistened by water supplied to the boiler from a separate water container in the housing. Selective control of the supply of water to the electric boiler and the extent to which the electrodes are moistened regulates the amount of pure steam generated by the electric boiler.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1982Date of Patent: July 30, 1985Assignee: Yhtyneet Paperitehtaat OyInventor: Heikki Ahonen

Patent number: 4009835Abstract: Continuously operating procedure for preparing hot groundwood from wood chips, wherein the chip flow is conducted into a pressurized steaming chamber, where the chips reside a few minutes and are heated to a temperature in excess of 100.degree. C, and from the steaming chamber to a sealing feeder, the rotor of which is circumferentially divided into mutually adjacent compartments, each of which in its turn fills through a feeding aperture with chips and empties in another angular position of the rotor through a discharge opening into a feeding conveyor, which carries the chips to a hot grinder, the groundwood derived from the latter being carried to further treatments, whereat the steam generated by the hot grinder and discharging from its throat in the direction against the chip flow is conducted away from the grinder. The steam is conducted through the feeding conveyor to the sealing feeder, where each compartment, as it is emptied of chips in its turn, fills with steam.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1975Date of Patent: March 1, 1977Assignee: Yhtyneet Paperitehtaat Oy JylhavaaraInventor: Ahti Syrjanen
