Abstract: Process and a device for detecting a change in the fiber orientation cross-direction profile of a paper or cardboard web in the manufacturing process on a paper or cardboard machine. It is recognized that a change in the fiber orientation cross-direction profile in the web is inferred or determined by way of a characteristic change in the basis weight cross-direction profile or at least one measurement quantity that correlates to it, and/or by way of a characteristic change in the basis weight in the travel direction of the web or at least one measurement quantity that correlates to it. The device includes an arrangement for detecting a change in the basis weight cross-direction profile and/or a characteristic chronological course of the change in the basis weight, which is characteristic for a change in the fiber orientation.

Abstract: An apparatus and a process for controlling or regulating a web property profile of a paper or cardboard web produced in the manufacturing process of a paper or cardboard machine is disclosed. The apparatus incorporates information regarding the position of one or more devices of a plurality of adjustable devices for sectionally manipulating at least one web property for regulating or controlling the devices to manipulate at least one web property across the width of the machine. The process includes combing the regulating process or a regulator device for adjusting individual actuators that only act on a certain section of conventional systems with the adjustment of an actuator acting across the entire web width for achieving a certain web property, so that the sectionally-operating actuators are not located in an end-position, so that these sectional actuators continue to be able to adjust the web property.

Abstract: A process for operating a press section for producing a fibrous material web, with a nip that is elongated in the direction of web travel that includes an inlet zone, a main pressing zone, and an outlet zone, and where a pressure gradient of pressure p exerted in the main pressing zone of the nip is selected as a function of whether the fibrous material web entering in the nip has an average or high dry matter content, on the one hand, or a low dry matter content, on the other hand.

Abstract: Head box for manufacturing a fibrous pulp web. The head box may include a pulp suspension inlet feed device that is sectioned across a width of the head box that feeds a pulp suspension in a feed direction, at least one device having a plurality of entrance ports that produces microturbulences, and an intermediate channel extending across the width of the head box and positioned in front of the at least one device. A plurality of partition units being positionably adjustable into the intermediate channel and being arranged parallel to the feed direction.

Abstract: Device for guiding a paper sheet on a belt that includes first air guidance surfaces located on a paper sheet guiding side of the belt. The first air guidance surfaces may be positioned to create a dynamic pressure between the first air guidance surfaces and the paper sheet and to press the paper sheet into the belt.

Abstract: A headbox for passing fiber suspension from a headbox entrance to a headbox outlet. A microturbulence insert with a plurality of flow channels inside the headbox. The channels are defined by channel forming elements having upstream ends. The headbox has an antechamber upstream of the turbulence insert. Respective individually adjustable additional feeds for feeding at least one second liquid into the antechamber upstream of the upstream ends of the channel forming elements of the turbulence insert. The feeds are preferably directed counter to the direction of the main flow of suspension into the channels of the turbulence insert. Vanes direct the main flow of suspension through the antechamber to the channels creating a respective sectioned flow to each channel. The additional liquid feeds are positioned to feed their additional liquid into the respective sectional flows after the main flow of suspension has already been diverted to a sectional flow.

Abstract: Apparatus for influencing a cross-sectional profile of a headbox having an inner chamber and process for determining a width and position for the sections of the headbox. The apparatus includes a device for distributing fluid that extends across a machine width, at least one connection opening extending across the machine width between the fluid distribution device and the inner chamber of the headbox, and a plurality of elements being one of continuously and discretely adjustably positionable within the fluid distributing device to section the fluid distributing device across the machine width. The process includes measuring a profile of a selected characteristic of the pulp suspension in the headbox that is dependent on its position; forming intersecting points of the profile of the characteristic with a uniform sectioning of the size of the characteristic under consideration; and determining the position and width of the sections.

Abstract: A dryer section of a paper or board making machine has a plurality of dryers. In a first group of dryers, each dryer heats the web somewhat more, but not to the level of the maximum evaporation rate of the moisture contained in the web. As the web is passing the end of the first group, the web is heated to such a high temperature that it reaches the maximum evaporation rate of the moisture in the web. The dryers in the first group have smaller diameters, which may gradually increase up to the region of the maximum evaporation rate, or they may all be of one smaller size. The dryer section has a second group of dryers in which each dryer heats the web to the maximum evaporation rate of the moisture contained in the web. The dryer at the beginning of the second group has the largest diameter. The following dryers in that group can have a smaller diameter. The dryers in the second group may be grouped in groups of decreasing size, or may gradually decrease in size.

Abstract: An apparatus in the dryer section of a paper or board making machine, wherein the section has a plurality of dryers. There is an initial region of dryers, each of which heats the web somewhat more, but not to the level of the maximum evaporation rate of the moisture contained in the web. It is not until the web is passing the end of said initial region that the web is heated to such a high temperature that it reaches the maximum evaporation rate of moisture in the web. The dryers of the initial region have smaller diameters, which may gradually increase up to the region of maximum evaporation rate, or they may all be of one smaller size. Following the initial region the dryer section has a region of dryers in which each dryer heats the web to the maximum evaporation rate of the moisture contained in the web. The dryer at the beginning of that regions has the largest diameter.
