  • Publication number: 20220412005
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tissue paper making machine designed for possible rebuild from one concept to another. The machine comprises a forming section (2) and a Yankee drying cylinder (3) mounted to be rotatable about a first axis of rotation (A1). The forming section has a forming roll mounted for rotation about a second axis of rotation (A2) which is parallel to the first axis of rotation (A1). The forming section (2) has a head box (5) and a first and a second forming fabric (6,7). The head box (5) is arranged to inject stock into a gap (8) between the first forming fabric (6) and the second forming fabric (7). The first forming fabric (6) is a felt that forms a loop and is arranged to carry a newly formed fibrous web (W) from the forming section (2) to the Yankee drying cylinder (3). The tissue paper making machine (1) comprises a press roll (9) arranged inside the loop of the first forming fabric (6) and forming a nip (N) against the Yankee drying cylinder (3).

  • Patent number: 11028533
    Abstract: Aspects provide for a Whitewater processing system suitable for managing an ejected Whitewater spray during operation of a paper or board making machine. A de-air system may provide for improved removal of air from the Whitewater. A calming system may reduce turbulence in a liquid flow, reducing turbulence in the flume. The de-air system and calming system may be disposed together or separately. Certain aspects may be implemented with a turbine (e.g., used to generate electricity from the Whitewater spray). Some aspects may provide for improved handling of variable spray velocities.
