Patent number: 6475343Abstract: Process and apparatus for dewatering a fibrous material web. The process includes guiding the fibrous material web through a dewatering zone, and directing a plurality of gas pressure pulses of a pressurized displacement gas one after the other onto a surface of the fibrous material web within the dewatering zone. The apparatus includes a device for forming a plurality of gas pressure pulses which are arranged one after the other within the dewatering zone. The plurality of gas pressure pulses are directed onto a surface of the fibrous material web.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2000Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Voith Sulzer Papiertechnik Patent GmbHInventors: Joachim Grabscheid, Karl Josef Böck, Ulrich Begemann, Thomas Elenz, Peter Mirsberger, Hans Dahl, Hannes Vomhoff, David Beck

Patent number: 6381868Abstract: Apparatus and process for dewatering a material web. The apparatus includes at least one pressure chamber formed by at least four substantially parallel rolls, a device arranged to introduce a pressurized gas into the at least one pressure chamber, and the at least four substantially parallel rolls being displaceable relative to one another to change an effective area of the at least one pressure chamber. The material web is guided through the at least one pressure chamber. The process includes pressurizing at least one pressure chamber with a gas medium, guiding the material web through the pressure chamber, driving water out of the material web using gas pressure within the at least one pressure chamber, and changing an effective area of the pressure chamber so as to adjust a dewatering capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Voith Sulzer Papiertechnik Patent GmbHInventors: Joachim Grabscheid, Karl Josef Böck, Ulrich Begemann, Thomas Elenz, Peter Mirsberger, Hans Dahl, Hannes Vomhoff, David Beck

Patent number: 6312564Abstract: A sealing device and process for laterally sealing at least one overpressure zone or underpressure zone adjacent to an actuating surface in a paper-making machine. The sealing device has at least one sealing element arranged movably at least locally in an intake area of a support. The sealing element is loaded with a sealing or opposing force in order to place it against the actuating surface. A stopping element is fixed at a distance from the actuating surface which limits the seating motion of the sealing element.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1999Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: Voith Sulzer Papiertechnik Patent GmbHInventors: Joachim Grabscheid, Karl Josef Böck, Hans Prinzing

Patent number: 6027612Abstract: The invention concerns the wire section of a papermaking machine and a method of removing water from a fiber web in that section. A fiber suspension is discharged from a headbox on at least one and usually between two wires in the forming section. The fiber suspension is dewatered until it eventually reaches the point of immobility at which the fiber orientation is fixed. The rate of removal of water transverse to the direction of travel of the web is controlled at regions across the web. In particular, the rate of water removal is decreased at the edge regions of the wire and the web, as compared with the center region, to improve the transverse formation profile of the web.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1997Date of Patent: February 22, 2000Assignee: Voith Sulze Papiermaschinen GmbHInventors: Ulrich Begemann, Gerhard Kotitschke, Hans Dahl, Volker Schmidt-Rohr, Karl Josef Bock
