Abstract: A dough piece mold is configured to receive at least one dough piece during a fermentation and baking process. The dough piece mold has at least one machine readable identification label with a ceramic-based carrier, containing identification data, which include mold type data and unambiguous individualization data for the respective dough piece mold. A dough processing installation can be used to perform a dough processing method using a plurality of such dough piece molds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sheet processing arrangement with a sheet processing device, at least two parallel running streams of sheets (D1, D2, E1, E2) being produced. The arrangement also has a merging device (11) for making the streams of sheets (D1, D2, E1, E2) merge into a single stream of sheets (F1, F2), the stream of sheets (F1, F2) being fed by a chain table (13) to a further processing machine arranged downstream of the merging device (11).

Abstract: A folding unit has at least one pair of folding rollers including an adjustable folding roller and a stationary folding roller or two adjustable folding rollers. At least two pressure measuring devices are associated to one adjustable folding roller, the pressure measuring devices being arranged at a distance from one another and measuring pressure values when a sheet passes therethrough. The pressure values correspond to pressures which are exerted on said sheet by the adjustable folding roller at two measurement points which are spaced apart transversely with respect to a sheet running direction. The pressure measuring devices forward measured pressure values to a processing device. Each adjustable folding roller is connected kinematically to a corresponding drive at two connection points which are spaced apart transversely with respect to the sheet running direction.

Abstract: In the method for monitoring the position of a sheet (36, 38, 48) transported in a folding machine, during the transport of the sheet (36, 38, 48), at a detection location, the positions of a sheet edge (37, 39, 49) running substantially in the transport direction (TR) are determined by a detection device (32, 34, 46). Measured values corresponding to the positions detected are then passed on to a processor device by the detection device (32, 34, 46). The processor device calculates a measured curve (MK1, MK2, MK3) on the basis of the detected measured values and the travel of the sheet (36, 38, 48) through the detection location and compares this with a previously determined reference curve (RK). The processor device outputs an error signal if the measured curve (MK1, MK2, MK3) deviates from the reference curve (RK).

Abstract: In the case of the process for producing multi-leaf printed products, different types of sheets, which are printed by various printing methods, are set down one after the other in the conveying direction, in accordance with a freely selectable sequence, on a main conveying device at different set-down stations, the sheets subsequently being folded one after the other and then collated one above the other.

Abstract: In the case of the method of, and the apparatus for, processing sheets further to produce multi-leaf printed products, a plurality of sheets (20) are folded around a folding line (30) and are then collated one above the other such that the folding line (30) is located at the top and the folded sheets (20) open in the downward direction. An adhesive (34) is applied to the sheets (20), in the region of the folding line (30), prior to collation.

Abstract: In the case of the method by which sheets which are printed, in particular, by a digital-printing machine are processed further to produce multi-leaf printed products, the printed sheets are folded at least once to form a folded sheet, and the folded sheets are collated one above the other. The sheets are folded prior to collation such that the folding edge of the folded sheet is located at the top and the folded sheet opens in the downward direction, with the result that the folded sheets can maintain their position prior to collation.

Abstract: In the case of the method of, and the folding machine for, folding a plurality of sheets (50) in a buckle folder (12) with at least a first and a second buckle plate (30, 34, 70), in which a respective first sheet stop (32) and a second sheet stop (36, 72) are provided and between which at least one pair (41) of folding rollers, with folding rollers (40, 42) rotating in opposite directions, is arranged, the sheets (50) are transported one after the other into the first buckle plate (30) until they strike against the corresponding sheet stop (32), in which case they are collected in the first buckle plate (30) to form a group (51) of sheets.

Abstract: In the method for further processing sheets printed in particular by a digital press for the production of multi-sheet printed products, the printed sheets are folded at least once by at least one folder to form a folded sheet and the folded sheets are collated one above another in a gathering device. The sheets are provided with detection features to be detected by a detection device and the detection device passes on signals corresponding to the detection features to a central control device, which controls at least one folder and/or the gathering device in accordance with the detection features.

Abstract: In the case of the method of setting the folding-nip width of a plurality of pairs of folding rollers which are provided on a folding machine, the two folding rollers (12 to 22) of the pairs of folding rollers are brought into contact with one another. A sheet is then guided through between the two folding rollers (12 to 22) of the pairs of folding rollers, as a result of which at least one of the two folding rollers (12 to 22) moves in relation to the other, with a folding nip being formed in the process, it being the case that, for each pair of folding rollers, a measured value corresponding to the folding-nip width is detected as the sheet is guided through. Finally, the folding-nip widths of the individual pairs of folding rollers are set by adjustment of the at least one moveable folding roller (14 to 22) by means of a drive (42), which is connected kinematically thereto, based on the corresponding measured values which have been detected.
