A machine for the production of a multi-layer fiber stock web, specifically a paper or cardboard web, whereby a first and a second layer are couched as a result of being delivered by an associated forming belt or wire to a couching element around which a second forming belt, or wire delivering the second layer is guided. This second forming belt, or wire impacts/runs onto the couching element before the second layer, which is supported by it, makes contact with the first layer. The second layer, at least in the location where it comes into contact with the first layer, is retained through suction force to the second forming belt wire.

Machine for producing and/or treating a material web

Process and apparatus for producing a fibrous material web from a fibrous material suspension. The process includes conveying the fibrous material suspension between two endless, continuously revolving porous belts positioned to form a twin wire zone, removing a part of the suspension fluid through the porous belts so that the fibrous material web begins forming between the belts, guiding the two endless belts and the material web being formed therebetween through uniform pressure drainage elements, and removing additional suspension fluid with the uniform pressure drainage elements. The process further includes supplying an additive though at least one of the belts to the forming fibrous material web in a vicinity of the uniform pressure drainage, and one of controlling and regulating the supply of the additive to provide a particular ratio between quality levels of a top side of the forming web and a web underside of the forming web. The apparatus includes two endless, continuously revolving belts positioned to form a twin wire zone. The twin wire zone includes an inlet adapted to receive a suspension flow and the belts are porous so as to enable flow of suspension fluid therethrough. Uniform pressure drainage elements are positioned such that the belts, with the fibrous material therebetween, are guided through, and in contact with, the uniform pressure drainage elements. The uniform pressure drainage elements include a portion supporting the belts having at least one of a perforated and recessed surface adapted for receiving suspension fluid, so that drainage occurs through an essentially pulsation-free drainage pressure. A supply device for an additive can be coupled to at least one of the uniform pressure drainage elements, and a control or regulation device is provided to vary at least one of a volume flow and a pressure of the additive to be supplied.

Twin wire former and method for manufacturing a fibrous material web from a fibrous suspension using same. The twin wire former comprises a movable bottom wire belt and a movable top wire belt converging at a twin wire zone. The twin wire zone has a first section, a second section and an end section. A rotating forming roller is disposed at the first section of the twin wire zone, and the to wire and the bottom wire form a wedge-shaped inlet gap at the first section of the twin wire zone. The inlet gap is adapted to receive the fibrous suspension from a headbox. The bottom wire belt and the top wire belt are adapted to form the fibrous web therebetween at the second section of the twin wire zone, and the second section of the twin wire zone has at least one drainage element. A separating device is disposed at the end of the twin wire zone and is adapted to separate one wire belt from another the wire belt. The twin wire zone has a section disposed in a steep downward direction downstream of the forming roller in relation to the movement of the wires. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing a fibrous material web from a fibrous suspension using a twin wire former.

Twin-wire former for producing a fibrous material web from a fibrous suspension and process for separating upper and lower wires of the twin-wire former. The twin-wire former includes a twin-wire zone composed of a lower wire and an upper wire and a plurality of rolls including an inlet roll and an outlet roll. The upper wire is guidable over the plurality of rolls, the inlet roll guides the upper wire to the twin-wire zone, and the outlet roll guides the upper wire toward the inlet roll. A wedge-shaped inlet zone is formed between the upper wire and the lower wire and has an adjustable inlet wedge angle. An upper wire subassembly includes a drainage box adapted to receive suspension water that flows upwardly through the upper wire, and further includes a pivotable common support device, to which the drainage box and the inlet roll are mounted. A stroke device is coupled to the pivotable common support device to lift the pivotable common support device around a first horizontal axle. In this manner, the inlet wedge angle is varied during former operation. After a maximal inlet wedge angle is formed, continued lifting of the pivotable common support device by the stroke device causes the upper wire subassembly to lift up from the lower wire, thereby separating the upper wire from the lower wire. A second horizontal pivot axle associated with the upper wire subassembly and located in a region of the outlet roll is provided. The separating of the upper and lower wires occurs around the second horizontal pivot axle. The process includes lifting the common support device with the stroke device, such that the common support device is pivotably supported by the first horizontal axle and the inlet wedge angle is increased, and, upon maximally increasing the inlet wedge angle, further lifting the common support device with the stroke device, such that the common support device is pivotably supported by the second horizontal axle and is disengaged from the first horizontal axle. In this manner, the upper wire is lifted up from the lower wire.
