【 摘 要 】

Paper dryer surface contamination can influence the severity of fiber picking, result in increased adhesion of the paper web to the surface, and impact the severity of cockle (out-of-plane deformation), a paper quality issue. The Web Adhesion and Drying Simulator (WADS) is a unique apparatus designed for investigation of paper sticking and fiber picking. Using the WADS, it has been found that the work of separation and amount of picking depend on roll surface material, contamination and temperature, and on the composition, moisture content and temperature of the web, and contact time. The WADS was also found to be convenient for studying the effect of drying conditions on severity of cockle. Cockle was found to depend on ingoing sheet solids content, surface temperature and degree of heat transfer non-uniformity.
