Stock Preparation
Stock Preparation means.
Preparation of Pulp.

Pulp is processed, cleaned and bleached


Cellulose Fibers along with water which is
present in semi-solid state.

9
Percentage of solid materials or dry substance
(i.e. Cellulose fiber) in the sample of stock is
defined as Consistency.

Consistency is an important term in Paper


Technology.

10
Other important terms:
Moisture Ratio:
Ratio of weight of water and weight of dry
substance in a sample of stock or paper.

Basis Weight:
Weight in grams of one square meter after
paper has been conditioned in a standardised
environment (usually at 200C temperature and
50% relative humidity)

Pulper

The waste paper is slushed in a continuously


running pulper in medium consistency (10-
14%).
Pulper is agitator of raw material, chemical and
water.
Chemicals added in the pulper are: Sodium
Hydroxide, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Silicate
and Soap.

Additives are added in Stand Tube.
Purpose of Floatation:
To enhance brightness to high degree.
To reduce dirt and stickies efficiently

Floatation Cell Continues.

23
Floatation Cell
Floatation Machine comprises of cells in
series forming a horizontal tube with elliptical
cross section.
A weir extending over the entire aggregate
separates the suspension chamber from the
foam collection channel.
Suspension is removed uniformly from the
bottom of each cell and pumped via aeration
element to the next cell.
Floatation Cell Continues. 24
Floatation Cell
Function of aeration element is based on
step diffuser design.
Acceleration in the aeration tube generates a
vacuum, which sucks the necessary process
air, which forms bubbles in the stock.
Bubbles remove particles from the stock
suspension.

Floatation Cell Continues. 25


Floatation Cell
Dirt laden bubbles rise to the top of the cell,
forming a foam layer.
The foam layer carried over the wire into the
foam collecting channel.

Press
The process in Screw Press, Heater and Disperger is called
Dispersion. 40
Dispersion
Purpose:
Shears off ink particles still adhering to the
fibers
Reduce size of ink and stickies and disperse
them in the stock suspension
Technological treatment of fiber
Transport of stock
Mix bleaching additives
Dispersion Continues.
41
Dispersion
Function:
Dispersion effectiveness depends on two
operational parameters:
Temperature
Shear force
Stock temperature up to 100C are adequate for
dispersion. A reduction in fiber strength, which is
expected above 100C, will not therefore occur.
Shear force of a certain integrity must be created
during mechanical treatment.

Dispersion Continues. 42
Dispersion
Dispersion system generally includes three
process stages:
Dewatering, achieved by Screw Press
Heating, achieved by Heater
Dispersion, achieved by Disperger

Dispersion Continues. 43
Dispersion
Function of each stage of dispersion:
Dewatering:
Increase consistency and viscosity for high shear forces,
Remove dissolved contaminants
Heating:
Soften stickies and inks
Reduce micro-organism
Dispersion:
Make stickies and inks floatable
Disperge coating grits
Mix in bleaching chemicals

Type of disperger:
Disc Disperger

Disc Disperger: Disc Disperger

In Disc Disperger, movement of stock is in radial


direction.
Kneading Disperger:
In Kneading Disperger, movement of stock is in axial
direction.

Dispersion Continues. 45
Dispersion

Dispersion Continues. 46
Dispersion
Disc Disperger:
Stock passed through the clearance between two
plates along with projected fills. Shearing of ink
particles takes place due to the relative rotational
movement of the plates.
Kneading Disperger:
Shaft with projected fills placed axially in a cylindrical
housing. Fills projected in the internal wall of the
housing. Shaft rotates and stock moves axially.
Shearing of ink particles takes place due to relative
motion of the shaft and the housing.

Dispersion Continues. 47
Dispersion
Possible influence of the Dispersion on fiber
quality:
Curl
Fibrillation/Flexibilisation

Dispersion Continues. 48
Dispersion
Curl
Effect of curl on fiber quality:
Higher wet strength and shrinkage
Higher absorption capacity and porosity
Higher bulk and greater softness
Lower static strength value
Lower dewatering resistance
Lower apparent fiber length

Dispersion Continues. 49
Dispersion
Curl
origin of curl:
In principal curl originates during all fiber treatment
processes where sufficiently high forces act on fibers
which can not escape these forces.
Curl originates in the high consistency stock (>20%
consistency), as well as medium consistency stock
and paper machine itself.
With increasing temperature curl and the porosity in
the stock increases and tensile strength decreases.

Dispersion Continues. 50
Dispersion
Curl
Reversible curl:
All the curls generated in stock preparation,
do not present when it reaches the paper
machine.
A certain percentage of curl is always
reversible during process, depending on
furnish and operating parameters.

Dispersion Continues. 51
Dispersion
Curl
influence of dispersion machine type on curl:
Curl generated in both type of disperger.
The porosity increase after Disc Disperger is
much less and disappears during hot
disintegration.
The increase in porosity after Kneading
Disperger is clearly measurable.

Curl
Influence of furnish on curl: ELASTIC FIBER
Wood containing stocks have a high proportion of
reversible curl and wood free stocks are largely
irreversible.
The curl in wood containing stock behaves like elastic fiber.
when these fibers are bent they absorbs distortion forces,
and as soon as they get chance (e.g. by dilution or
agitation), they straighten again.
The curl of wood free kraft paper behaves like plastic fiber.
These fibers contain amorphous zones, which are in a state
of plastic flow above their softening temperature and can
not absorb any stress.

Dispersion Continues. 54
Dispersion
Fibrillation/Flexibilisation: INTERNAL
FIBRILLATION
EXTERNAL
FIBRILLATION

while curl leads to loss to strength, some


dispersion processes have the effect of enhancing
strength. They can therefore be compared with
refining.
To achieve large increase in strength, the
Disperger can be operated cold without prior
heating.

Enroute to the Headbox, the stock (i.e. pulp) is
diluted to about or below 1% consistency.
From the Headbox, the stock is distributed in a
thin layer onto a endless running fabric,
dewatered, pressed and dried to paper of a
dryness of about 95%.

The Headbox is an equipment which discharges an uniform jet of


paper making stock onto the moving forming fabric.

The functions of Headbox are :


Spread stock evenly across the width of the machine.
Level out cross currents and consistency variations.
Level out machine direction velocity gradients.
Create controlled turbulence to eliminate fiber floccing.
Discharge evenly from the slice opening; impinge on the forming
fabric at the correct location and angle.

Wire Section
In Wire section, paper is formed on an end-
less fabric wire running in a loop across foils
and various dewatering element. This concept
is called Fourdrinier System.
For dewatering from both the side of the
paper web and minimum two sidedness of the
product, a equipment called Duo Former is
used.

91
Wire Section
The strength of fiber network being
dewatered on the forming fabric (i.e. wire)
depends on surface tension and mechanical
friction between the fibers.
The forces created by the surface tension
increase in inverse proportion to the distance
between adjoining surfaces, which means wet
strength of the paper web increases with
dryness.

92
Press Section
After Wire Section, paper web is pressed by
multiple rollers in the Press Section.
To ensuring good machine efficiency and
pressing, a compact bi-nip press followed by a
straight press is used.
In the Press Section, paper web is conveyed by
the felt; drive to the rolls also transmit
through these felts.

93
Press Section

94
Press Section

95
Press Section
Feature:
Minimum two sidedness as both sides of the
sheet comes in contact with hard rolls
Better sheet release and easy paper transfer
Minimum open draw
Better smoothness and hence, better
printability
Faster and easier felt change

96
Press Section
In the press nips water is removed by three effects:
One part is thrown out of the nip and collected in the pans
and channels.
Another part is removed by the suction roll
Majority of the water is transported by the press felt.

So after the nip, the press felt is contaminated with waste


water. This felt is cleaned and water is taken out during one
revolution to get the felt ready to pass the nip again. For this
purpose suction tubes in each felt circuit is used.

97
Press Section
During pressing a new phenomenon comes into play
at about 40% dryness, known as Hydrogen Bond.
Fiber surfaces are pressed close enough together
that the oxygen atoms of hydroxil groups protruding
from adjoining surfaces come within a distance of
2.5-3.5 to one another.
In this situation two oxygen can share a proton of a
hydrogen atom. In effect, the hydrogen atom can not
choose between the two oxygen atoms, thus
producing a hydrogen bond.

98
Press Section
The phenomenon of hydrogen bonding occurs
because of the singular geometry of the
glucose unit in a cellulose chain.
The strength of the hydrogen bond depends
on the number of bond per contact surface
and on the size of this surface.

Dryer Section
After Press Section, paper web passes through
number of drying cylinders. The cylinders are
driven by fabric wires.
The classical drying section consists of two
tiers of drying cylinders. The cylinders are cast
in normal grey iron and coded for a steam
pressure of 250-750 kPa depending on the
type of paper being made. They are turned
inside and outside.

101
Dryer Section

102
Dryer Section
The cylinders are divided into steam groups (usually
four), where all the dryers within a group operate at
the same steam pressure.
The cylinders also divided into drive groups, each
group having one directly driven cylinder; the other
cylinders in each group are driven by gears or pulled
by a dryer fabric.
In modern issue machine drying is carried out on a
yankee cylinder. Yankee is a cast cylinder having a
diameter of 4 to 6 m and coded for a steam pressure
of about 1MPa.
103
Dryer Section
The Steam is supplied to and the condensate is removed
from the each cylinder.
The steam is introduced through a central pipe in the
back-side journals. Condensate is entrained by steam
through a syphon going to a pipe concentric to the steam
pipe. On wide machines syphons may be used at both
sides of the cylinders.

104
STEAM SUPPLY AND CONDENSATE REMOVAL ON A DRYING CYLINDER
BASIC CONCEPT
Dryer Section
In Dryer Section, also hydrogen bonding takes
place. As water is evaporated from the wall,
annular cracks in the wall makes the wall
thinner and stiffer. If the fiber are soft enough,
surface tension during drying collapses the
lumen and changes the tubular fibers into
bonds. These processes are not always
desirable and depends largely on
temperature. The changes can partly be
reversed by refining.
105
Calender Section
After Drying Section, paper is pressed in the
Calender section, by calender rolls.
Concept of pressing in the Calender Section, is
different than pressing of paper webs in the
Press Section.
Pressing in the Calender Section provides
ironing effect in the paper.
The calender rolls may be heated or unheated
depending on design.
106

Influencing parameters of calendering:
Number of nips
Compressive stress
Temperature or roll in the nip
Dwell time of the paper web in the nip
Hardness of soft covers
Surface properties of the rolls

109
Calender Section
Advantages of heated rolls over unheated rolls:
Better paper smoothness achieved at lower line
loads
Less loss in the bulk for a required smoothness.
Less line load required for given paper finish
Less damage to the paper fibers
Heat reduces the porosity of the sheet surface
Improved printability
Less temperature variations across the sheet
More uniform surface finish

Advantages of soft calendering 2x2 rolls:


Minimisation of two sidedness of paper
Wide load and temperature range
Quality range from very rough to very smooth 112
Pope Reel Section
After Calender Section, paper winding takes place in
the Pope Reel Section.
Pope reel shell is made of cast iron. Primary arms
swivel empty reel spool over pope reel into threading
position for reel spool changes and then into transfer
position on reel spool track. Secondary arms presses
spool against pope reel with controlled linear force
and pushes the full reel spool into final position. Full
reel spool brakes in end position by means of levers
and hydraulic shock absorbers.
