Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9412724A1] A sheet break detector apparatus (10) is disclosed for detecting a sheet break in a dryer section (12) of a paper machine. The apparatus (10) includes a vacuum transducer (14) which is sensitive to the vacuum level within a vacuum roll (16) of a dryer section (12). The transducer (14) detects only a sudden change in vacuum level within the vacuum roll (16) resulting from a sheet break rather than a relatively gradual change in vacuum level resulting from an operator augmented vacuum level change. A guide device is connected to the transducer (14) and responsive to the transducer (14) for redirecting the sheet to a broke chute (22) upstream relative to the transducer (14) when the transducer (14) detects the sudden change in vacuum level. The arrangement is such that excessive wind-up of the broken sheet (W) around a dryer (24) of the dryer section (12) is inhibited.
