  • Patent number: 11007461
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dust-handling device (1) for collecting and handling dust in a paper-making environment wherein the dust-handling device (1) comprises a source of underpressure (2) and an elongated collector (3) that extends along a longitudinal axis. The elongated collector (3) is connected to the source of underpressure (2) such that underpressure can be generated inside the elongated collector (3) and the elongated collector (3) has an inlet (5) through which dust-laden air can enter the elongated collector (3) and an exit opening (6) through which dust-laden air can be evacuated from the elongated collector. The inlet (5) of the elongated collector (3) is disposed in such a relation to the longitudinal axis of the elongated collector (3) so that upon drawing the dust-laden air into the elongated collector (3), an air vortex is induced with the dust-laden air wherein the induced air vortex flows between the collector inlet (5) and the collector exit opening (6).

  • Patent number: 10533285
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (1) and a method for collecting and handling dust in a paper-making environment. The system (1) comprises a source of underpressure (2) and an elongated collector (4) that extends along a longitudinal axis and which elongated collector (4) is connected to the source of underpressure (2) through at least one suction duct (7) such that underpressure can be generated inside the elongated collector (4). The elongated collector (4) has an inlet (5) through which dust-laden air can enter the elongated collector (4) and an exit opening (6) leading to the suction duct (7) through which exit opening (6) dust-laden air can be evacuated from the elongated collector (4). A source of water (8) is connected by at least one water supply duct (10) to the elongated collector (4) such that water from the source of water (8) can be introduced into the elongated collector so that dust in the dust-laden air can be exposed to and mix with the water introduced into the elongated collector (4).

  • Patent number: 10351376
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a w winder (1) for winding a web roll (2) from a fibrous web such as a paper web or a web of non-woven material paper (2). The winder (1) comprises two support rolls (3, 4) for supporting the web roll (2) during reeling and a core shaft (5) for winding the paper reel (2). At each longitudinal end of the core shaft (5), there is a carrier chuck (6) in which the core shaft (5) is rotatably journalled. The carrier chucks to are arranged to be movable in a frame towards or away from the support rolls (3, 4) and a rider roll (8) is arranged to be capable of acting against the web roll (2) being wound. The rider roll (8) is carried by a rider roll beam (9) and the rider roll beam (9) is arranged to be movable in the frame (7) such that the rider roll (8) can be moved towards or away from the support rolls (3, 4).

  • Patent number: 10260200
    Abstract: The invention relates to a Yankee drying hood arrangement (1) which is shaped to be fitted over a Yankee drying cylinder (2) such that the drying hood arrangement (1) can cover a part (4) of the circular cylindrical surface (3) of a Yankee drying cylinder (2). The Yankee drying hood arrangement (1) comprises a plurality of nozzle boxes (5) distributed equidistantly around an imaginary axis (X) such that, when the Yankee drying hood arrangement (1) is fitted over a Yankee drying cylinder (2), the nozzle boxes (5) are spaced from the circular cylindrical surface (3) of the Yankee drying cylinder (2) but form a curved structure (6) that follows the outer contour of the circular cylindrical surface (3) of the Yankee drying cylinder (2).

  • Patent number: 9702084
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a machine for making a tissue paper web (W) in which the tissue paper web W is passed through an extended nip N formed between an extended nip unit (2) and a Yankee drying cylinder (1) and in which the tissue paper web W is carried on a felt (3) through the extended nip N in such a way that, in the extended nip N, the tissue paper web W contacts the outer surface (4) of the Yankee drying cylinder (1). The web W and the felt (3) are led over a suction roll (5) prior to the extended nip N in such a way that the felt (3) contacts the suction roll (5) and the tissue paper web W is separated from the suction roll (5) by the felt (3). The suction roll (5) has a suction zone (6) over which the felt (3) and the tissue paper web W pass together, and a first hood (7) is arranged opposite the suction roll (5) and partially surrounds the suction roll (5).
