Abstract: A method for monitoring a wear structure including at least one wear element in a machine for generating or processing a fibrous material web, includes providing a time at which the wear element became operational, providing a time at which a defined first wear level of the wear element was reached, providing at least one further characteristic variable, and predicting a remaining operating time of the wear element from the knowledge of the times, in particular from a time difference between the times, as well as from the at least one further characteristic variable, by using a computer system. A device for carrying out the method is also provided.

Abstract: A sealing device seals a pressure or vacuum zone of a roller having a roller sleeve which is movable in relation to the sealing device. The sealing device has a sealing strip with an upper side forming a sealing face and a lubricant channel adjoining the sealing face and is formed by at least one groove-type depression in the sealing strip, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the sealing strip. When the sealing device is installed, the sealing face and the opening of the groove-type depression face toward the inner side of the roller sleeve. The lubricant channel is hooked up to a supply line which at least in portions runs within the sealing strip and delivers lubricant between the inner side of the roller sleeve and the sealing face. The sealing strip, at each of its two ends, has a wall delimiting the lubricant channel in its length.

Abstract: A sealing strip for a positive or negative pressure zone of a suction or blower roller of a machine for processing and/or producing web material, in particular a paper, cardboard or tissue machine. The sealing strip has a sealing face to be set against and in frictional contact with the inner side of a roller shell for sealing the positive or negative pressure zone during a rotational movement of the roller shell. The sealing strip has a lubricant channel in the form of a cutout from the sealing strip. The lubricant channel is arranged in front of the sealing face. The sealing strip is formed with a first material section at the sealing face and with a second material section at the front wall. The first and second materials are different in at least one physical property, such as modulus of elasticity, abrasion resistance, hardness, brittleness.

Abstract: A roller has a movable roller sleeve and a positive-pressure or negative-pressure zone inside the roller sleeve. The zone is sealed outwardly by a sealing installation with at least one sealing strip. The sealing strip in the radial direction of the roller is movable from the roller toward the inner side and away therefrom and the sealing strip has a lubricant outlet opening connected to a supply line for delivering lubricant to between the inner side of the roller sleeve and the sealing face. The supply line includes one part running within the sealing strip and one part running outside the sealing strip but within the roller. The part of the supply line within the roller, on its length which is routed outside the sealing strip, includes a first portion that is longer than a second line portion. The second line portion is more flexural than the first line portion.

Abstract: A sealing-strip system has a sealing strip for sealing a suction zone of a suctioned roller in a machine for manufacturing and/or processing a fibrous web. The sealing strip has a wear volume which is successively removed by tribological contact with the roller, and a wear-indication unit which is formed by at least one tube which is configured in or on the sealing strip and which is at least in part disposed on or in the sealing strip in the region of the wear volume.

Abstract: A grinding device for the surface treatment of rolls, for example of rolls for machines producing, finishing and/or processing webs, such as paper, cardboard or tissue machines, includes stationary components and mobile components which can be separated from each other. The stationary components include guide rails, which extend substantially in parallel to a roll axis of the roll to be treated and which are connected to a substructure. Thus, the stationary components, such as the guide rails, can remain at the place of use of the rolls, while the components that are mobile or can be transported can be easily separated from the stationary components and can be transported to other locations.
