Abstract: The release of a crepe paper web (1) from a Yankee-cylinder (4) is carried out with the aid of a doctor blade (5). The web is taken up on a roll (9) under a specific degree of creping. The paper web has a web-part which is drawn freely between the doctor blade and the roll, and with the aid of a device (11, 12) which functions to deliver a substance between the paper web and the Yankee-cylinder for controlling web release.

Abstract: A creping doctor apparatus includes a creping doctor (4) having a doctor blade (5) with a working edge (6). The creping doctor (4) is pivotable around a rotational axis (12) formed substantially at the working edge (6) to permit adjustment of an impact angle (A) formed at the working edge (6) between an impact surface of the blade edge and the cylindrical surface (2) of a Yankee dryer (3), from which an adhering paper web (1) is to be creped off. The impact angle (A) controls the result of the creping operation, e.g. the caliper and/or the macrostructure of the soft crepe paper web produced, but wear of the working edge (6) gradually causes a change in the impact angle (A) and, thereby, in the creping conditions. To maintain the desired caliper and/or the desired macrostructure as far as possible it is necessary to compensate for the wear of the working edge (6) by pivoting the creping doctor (4) substantially around the working edge (6) so as to maintain the impact angle (A).

By using this apparatus, the deflection of the doctor blade can be compensated to full straightness. The compensating system is controlled with the help of a feedback loop using data from a direct measurement of beam deflection, or alternatively, from the coat thickness profile.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for adjusting the impact angle of a doctor blade are provided to at least partially offset negative effects of doctor blade wear. For example and not by way of limitation, in papermaking machines for making creped tissue paper, a negative effect of progressive doctor blade wear is progressive diminution of machine-direction tensile strength of the paper, all other operating factors being constant. That is, machine-direction tensile strength of the paper is inversely related to doctor blade wear which wear is, generally speaking, directly related to operating time. This progressive lessening of the paper's machine-direction tensile strength can be at least partially offset or compensated for by adjusting the impact angle of the doctor blade.
