  • Publication number: 20080257509
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the spreading of additional agent(s) which is/are introduced into the process at a papermaking machine. A flowable paper pulp including fibres and a process liquid and having a consistency of not more than 10% is conducted towards the paper machine's headbox (5). Prior to the introduction (14) of said additional agent the consistency of the pulp is increased to a value higher than 10% by removing (8) process liquid and conducting (11) it in the upstream direction, while compensating process liquid is introduced (13) downstream. The present invention also relates to an arrangement at a paper machine, where separating means (8) are arranged in the process direction before means (14) for introducing additional agent (s).

  • Patent number: 7141139
    Abstract: In a process and an arrangement for directing a papermaking pulp towards a regulated outlet (9), accept from successive cleaning stages (6, 14, 20) is totally or partly led towards the outlet (9) while excess accept is led in the opposite direction to the inlet (5) of the preceding cleaning stage (6). For feeding of a forming wire, a common base pipe (8) for collecting accept extends between the outlet (9) and a feeding (3) for fresh pulp, while reject pipes (11, 18) lead to the next cleaning stage (14, 20).

  • Publication number: 20030159785
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for directing a papermaking pulp towards a regulated outlet (9). Accept from successively arranged cleaning stages (6, 14, 20) is lead towards the outlet (9), while the respective rejects are lead to the inlet of the succeeding cleaning stage (14, 20). Depending on the operational situation, the accept from the cleaning stages (6, 14, 20) is totally or partly lead towards the outlet (9) while excess accept is lead in the opposite direction to the inlet (5) of the preceding cleaning stage (6). The invention also relates to an arrangement for the feeding of a forming wire, wherein a collecting accept pipe (8) is provided for extending between the outlet (9) and a feeding (3) for fresh pulp, while reject pipes (11, 18) lead to the next cleaning stage (14, 20).
