  • Patent number: 6596127
    Abstract: Method of producing a paper having a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions which has been provided in connection with impulse drying, at which the wet paper web (10) is passed through at least one press nip (12) comprising a rotatable roll (13) which is heated and that the paper web during the passage through the press nip is given a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions either by means of a pattern wire, band or belt and/or by a pattern on the heated roll (13) and where the paper web (10) after said press nip (12) is led around an essential part of the periphery of the heated roll (13) in order to provide an additional drying of the paper web while this is still in contact with said three-dimensional pattern.

  • Patent number: 6444089
    Abstract: Method of producing a paper having a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions which is given the paper in connection with impulse drying. The paper web has a varying material composition as seen in its thickness direction, so that it at least in an outer layer contains an amount of a material that softens, melts or hardens in the temperature interval 100-400° C. or in some other way contributes in stabilizing the pattern structure that has been given the paper. It is further referred to an impulse dried paper produced according to the method.

  • Patent number: 6344110
    Abstract: A process for producing paper having a three-dimensional structure of alternating raised and recessed portions including passing a wet paper web through a heated press nip so the paper web is simultaneously dried by means of impulse drying and given a three dimensional structure. The heated press nip includes a heated pressure roll with a three dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions in its surface and a compressible surface. The compressible surface can be a compressible press felt which supports the wet paper web prior to and through the heated press nip. The compressible press felt may be pressed against a resilient compressible surface in the heated press nip away from the heated cylinder. The wet paper web may be a papermaking pulp containing at least 10%, and preferably at least 30% or 50% by weight of a high-yield pulp such as TMP or CTMP.

  • Patent number: 6096167
    Abstract: Process for the manufacture of a colored fibre material, containing a certain proportion of cellulose fibres, such as paper and nonwoven. A dyestuff is applied onto reel or sheet pulp either on the whole material or only on part of it, whereupon the reel or sheet pulp is defibrated and dispersed in liquid or foam possibly together with other fibres. The fibre dispersion is thereafter applied onto a wire and dewatered, whereupon the formed fibre web, which contains a substantially even addition of colored fibres, is subjected to possible further treatment steps before drying and reeling. A fibre material manufactured according to the process is also disclosed. If only part of the pulp fibres are colored, a mottled color impression of the material is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6017833
    Abstract: Nonwoven material produced by hydro-entanglement of a wet- or foam-formed fibre web, which material contains at least 5%, by weight of the total fibre weight, of pulp fibres of chemical-thermomechanical type. These fibres have been mixed with other fibres, such as chemical pulp fibres, vegetable fibres, synthetic fibres or regenerated cellulosic fibres in a wet- or foam-formed fibre web which has been entangled with sufficient energy to produce a dense, absorbent material.

  • Patent number: 5853538
    Abstract: Method of producing a nonwoven material by hydroentangling of a fiber web, whereby dry fibers, natural and/or synthetic, are metered into a dispersion vessel, possibly after pre-wetting. The fibers are dispersed in a foamable liquid including water and a tenside for forming a foamed fiber dispersion, which is applied to a wire and drained. The formed fiber web is subjected to hydroentangling directly after forming and the foamable liquid, after having passed through the wire, is recirculated to the dispersion vessel in a simple closed circuit.

  • Patent number: 5720851
    Abstract: Method of producing a foam-formed fibre or paper web, whereby a foamed fibre dispersion is formed by dispersing natural and/or synthetic fibres in a foamable liquid comprising water and a tenside in a dispersion vessel (111) and by conveying the foamed fibre dispersion to a wire (118) on a paper machine. The foamed liquid which is removed through the wire (118) is conveyed to a closed foam tank (128) in which a draining of the liquid to the bottom of the tank occurs, whilst the lighter foam is collected in the top of the foam tank. Liquid from the bottom of the foam tank is led to the dispersion vessel (111) via a first pipeline (129), whilst foam passes to the dispersion vessel via a second pipeline (130) in the top of the foam tank where the fibres are added and dispersed in the foamable liquid.

  • Patent number: 4021296
    Abstract: A method and device for manufacturing a continuous material of elongated fibrous particles from a suspension of the fibrous articles with a concentration at least twice as high as the sediment concentration of the fibrous particles, in which the highly concentrated suspension is distributed and deflected in a chamber before the suspension is passed to a decay channel from which the suspension is deposited, is disclosed wherein the suspension is exposed in an intermediate forming channel between the chamber and the outlet channel to a plurality of changes of direction to change the direction which in turn contributes to the local variations of the fibre concentration in the suspension becoming more even.
