Abstract: A method includes providing at least one filter element in a test rig. The at least one filter element separates a clean side from a dirty side within the test rig. The pressure differential between the clean side and the dirty side is measured. The pressure differential between the clean side and the dirty side is increased by filtering particulate matter and fluid from an air flow within the test rig. The at least one filter element is cleaned. The previous three steps are repeated to replicate the conditions the at least one filter element is subjected to during substantially the entire life cycle of the at least one filter element.

Abstract: Solutions for improving efficiency of a filter device for use with a machine requiring clean airflow are disclosed. In one embodiment, the filter device includes: a filter housing about an airflow inlet of the machine, wherein the filter housing comprises an air-permeable filter media configured to filter particles from multi-directional airflow moving through a substantial portion of the filter housing into the airflow inlet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving overall quality and reducing warp in corrugated paperboard blanks by controlling a number of interrelated production factors in the production of a double-face corrugated paperboard web from which the blanks are made including the selection of product variables, production of the web, observation of warp characteristics, and adjustment of production factors affecting warp characteristics. Apparatus for controlling warp characteristics includes water sprays at various points along the production apparatus, tensioning devices for various lamina of the composite web, wrap devices for controlling heat supplied to the lamina, adhesive-gap control devices affecting moisture content of the lamina, pressure and flotation devices for controlling heat exposure time of the web, and feedback devices for automatically maintaining selected relationships between the production factors as a function of production speed.
