PAPER STOCK SHEAR AND FORMATION CONTROL

摘要

The system controls formation of wet stock (55) comprising fibers on a moving water permeable wire (13) of a de-watering machine that has a refiner (135) that is subject to a variable load and a headbox (10) having at least one slice (50), wherein each slice (50) has an aperture through which wet stock (55) is discharged at a stock jet speed onto the wire (13) that is moving at a wire (13) speed. A sheet of wet stock (55) moving a speed develops on the wire (13). The system includes: a) at least two water weight sensors (42A-42E) that are positioned adjacent to the wire wherein the at least two sensors (42A-42E) are positioned at different locations in the direction of movement of the wire (13) and upstream from a dry line (43) which develops during operation of the machine and the sensors (42A-42E) generate signals indicative of a water weight profile made up of a multiplicity of water weight measurements; and b) adjustability of at least one of the stock jet speed, sheet speed, wire speed, or refiner load to cause the water weight profile to match a preselected or optimal water weight profile.
