Abstract: An industrial roll includes: a substantially cylindrical shell having an outer surface; a polymeric cover circumferentially overlying the shell outer surface; and a sensing system. The sensing system includes: a plurality of sensors embedded in the cover, each sensor configured to sense a data parameter; and a plurality of wireless transceivers, each transceiver connected to a respective sensor and embedded in the cover adjacent thereto. Each wireless transceiver is configured to transmit data signals from the respective sensor. Related methods and systems are also discussed.

Abstract: Nip press belt of a wet press or a calender with elongated nip, in particular for a paper, cardboard or tissue machine, with a flexible elastomer layer that is impermeable to liquids and with a textile reinforcing layer, wherein the elastomer layer comprises soft rubber with a hardness in the range between 5 and 100 P+J.

Abstract: Nip press belt (9) of a wet press (1) or a calender with elongated nip, in particular for a paper, cardboard or tissue machine, with a flexible carrier layer (9a) that is impermeable to liquids and is made of soft rubber having a hardness in the range between 20 and 50 P+J and an integrated textile reinforcement (9b), and with a covering layer (9c) that is fixedly connected to the carrier layer or formed together therewith.

Abstract: Nip press belt of a wet press or a calender with elongated nip, in particular for a paper, cardboard or tissue machine, with a flexible elastomer or thermoplastic layer that is impermeable to liquids, one surface of which during operation serves as the sliding layer, being in contact with the pressing element, and with an integral, textile-based carrier- and function-layer that is intimately and fixedly connected to the other surface of the sliding layer and has a free superficial region that acts as water-extraction profile.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method of designing and/or visualizing at least one roll/felt combination in the wet press of a paper or cardboard making machine, wherein initially a press configuration is selected from a set offered by a computer system. Thereafter, one of the presses of the respective press configuration is selected. Thereupon the current dewatering performance of the selected press is calculated and the result if displayed. Thereafter, the machine parameters and/or roll parameters of the respective selected press are altered while the dewatering performance of the respective roll/felt combination of the press is continuously calculated anew and is displayed at least in part as a trend indication.
