Calendering Technology Overview of Fundamentals Relating to Calendering of Coated Paper John Moore – PMMK/Chemco January 2003 Introduction Calendering by Soft Nip Calender (SNC) employs basic principles of: - heat - pressure - smooth roll surfaces To increase the gloss of paper from 15-20% to as high as 70%. It works by causing the paper to be molded by the smooth surface with which it is held in contact. Using longer contact time, a more fluid (wet) surface, very smooth rolls, etc., will give higher gloss. Fundamentals machinery • Machinery variables include: – roll surface smoothness (measured in microns) – number of rolls or smoothing nips (a nip=pressure point) – speed (dwell time in each nip) – pressure applied to the nips Fundamentals base paper • Base paper variables: – moisture content – fiber type and formation – compressibility – basis weight – smoothness (roughness) Fundamentals coating • Coating variables: – coat weight – coating solids (which affects coverage) – binder amount – binder type – pigment type – coverage – moisture content – no coating patterns such as “orange peel” or “ misting” or “web stealing” Calendering Trends Calendering Trends CCaalleennddeerriinngg TTrreennddss • Supercalenders of 50’s and 60’s – Softer nips with cotton filled rolls compared to polymer rolls – Slightly lower design loads • Gloss Calenders in the 60’s and 70’s – Lower nip intensity with higher temperat
