Abstract: A device for supplying a gas stream to a tool for molding molded parts made of a fiber-containing material. Steam generated during molding is removed from the molded parts pressed in the tool via channels in the tool. A tool with such a device and a method for controlling the supply of a gas stream into the tool are described.

Abstract: A method for suctioning fibers from a pulp using a suction device with a suction tool, and a suction device for suctioning fibers from a pulp with a suction tool that has a plurality of cavities for suctioning fibers are described.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for heating process media in a fiber molding process are described, whereby an optimization of the efficiency in the production of three-dimensional molded parts from a fiber-containing material is provided. Here, a process medium with a relatively high temperature is guided through an apparatus for heat exchange within a container with another process medium.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a molding station a mold body for a pre-pressing tool that is utilized for pressing three-dimensional preforms made of a fiber-containing material. The mold body includes a deformable material and is perforated in some portions.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a molding station a mold body for a pre-pressing tool that is utilized for pressing three-dimensional preforms made of a fiber-containing material. The mold body includes a deformable material and is perforated in some portions. In certain instances, the mold body has, with respect to a wall section and a floor section, a greater material thickness in a connection section for the pre-pressing tool. In some instances, the mold body has an integrated connection unit in the connection section for the pre-pressing tool.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for teaching a laminating method as well as operating a laminating device, the both being for laminating a film element on a substrate part, in which designated path routes, in particular designated path curves, along which grippers for gripping the film element are subsequently moved to laminate the film element, are determined and taught by way of CAD data of the substrate part as well as the film element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cleaning system. The cleaning system may include a support and holding structure for the cleaning unit of at least one molding tool where the at least one molding tool includes at least one interior through which a flow can pass and at least one mold part having a plurality of openings. At least one inlet connection for a (cleaning) inlet line may be provided on the at least one molding tool, via which inlet connection a cleaning fluid can be introduced into at least one interior of the molding tool and can be discharged via the plurality of openings of the mold parts. A closure frame and a closure element may be provided where the closure frame is arranged between the at least one molding tool and the closure element to form a drain space.

Abstract: A fiber processing device and a method for operating a fiber processing device are described, wherein the fiber processing device has at least one forming station with an exchangeable tool and an alignment unit which has a plurality of outlet openings for a medium, wherein a medium for displacing and positioning fibers on the surface of a tool is dispensed via the outlet openings in determinable time periods, wherein different tools can be received in the forming station in order to produce different three-dimensional molded parts, wherein a tool received in the forming station is exchanged for another tool, and the outlet openings of at least one alignment unit are changed in accordance with the received tool and its configuration.

Abstract: A tool component, a hot-pressing device and a method for hot pressing preforms from a fiber-containing material are described, wherein the hot-pressing device has a first tool component with a first tool body and at least one first molding device and a second tool component with a second tool body and at least one second molding device. The method includes providing at least one preform made of fiber-containing material, heating the first tool body and the first molding device via a temperature control device, placing a preform on first contact surfaces of the first molding device, moving the second tool component relative to the first tool component, and pressing the first tool component and the second tool component until the first contact surfaces and the second contact surfaces form a closed cavity.

Abstract: A method for regulating a hot-pressing device, a tool component and a hot-pressing device are described, wherein the closing of the hot-pressing device and the pressing of a first tool component and a second tool component are effected according to a boiling temperature, ascertained in advance, of the liquid contained in a fiber-containing material of at least one preform and a surface temperature of a first molding device of the first tool component.
