Abstract

Abstract A calender arrangement including a first stack of rolls with a first heated hard roll, which, together with a center soft roll, forms a nip. On the other side of the soft roll, another soft roll is arranged, which, together with the soft roll, forms another nip. A second stack of rolls with a soft roll which interacts with a second hard heated roll follows the first stack of rolls. The second hard heated roll contacts the paper web on the side lying opposite the side contacted by the first heated hard roll in the first stack. A further hard roll can also cooperate with the hard roll in the second stack to form a hard nip. The treatment that the paper web undergoes, varies in accordance with the type and sequence of the nips through which it is guided.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13

Claim 1

Independent Claim 192 words

A calender arrangement having a plurality of hard and soft rolls, supported to be positioned against each other and separated from each other while forming different nips, through which a paper web can be guided on a number of different paths, comprising: first and second successive stacks of rolls following each other in the direction of travel of the paper web; said first stack of rolls including a soft center roll with bending control, the effective direction of which can be changed by 180°, a soft roll supported on one side of said soft center roll for interaction with said soft center roll, when one effective direction is selected and a first heated hard roll arranged on the opposite side of said soft center roll and supported for interaction with said soft center roll when its effective direction is changed by 180°, said heated hard roll thereby contacting one side of the paper web; and said second stack of rolls including at least one pair of rolls comprising a soft roll with bending control and second heated hard roll disposed such as to engage on the other side of the paper web.
