R. Vyse et al., Enhancing gloss and caliper profiles on coated grade soft nip calendars - An external induction energy system can help enhance MD gloss levels, PULP PAPER, 102(7), 2001, pp. 34-38
Coated papers producers are increasingly searching for tools to optimize th
e gloss and caliper profiles from their soft nip One approach, using a prof
iling external induction energy system, provides the opportunity for improv
ed CD caliper and gloss profiles, enhanced MD gloss levels, increased opera
ting speeds or some combination of these attributes. This paper will review
field results obtained using external induction energy systems and illustr
ate what predictions can be trade based on thermal modelling of the soft ni
p calendering process.
