Abstract: A web processing assembly including first, second and third fixed spaced apart pairs of nip rollers moving the web respectively at a first, second and third speeds, the first and third speeds being constant and similar, the second speed being variable with a mean speed similar to the first and third speeds, a first idler roller engaging the web between the first and second pair of rollers and a second idler roller engaging the web between the second and third pair of rollers, each idler roller maintaining the web in constant tension by moving along a restrained path perpendicular to its axis to compensate for a difference between the variable second speed and the respective one of the constant first and third speeds. A method for processing a web and system for conveying a web are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for determining a level of saturation of a VOC filter in a filtering apparatus, including a weight sensor for sensing a weight of at least a portion of the filtering apparatus including the VOC filter and for producing a corresponding weight signal, a weight calculator for determining an actual weight of the VOC filter based on the weight signal and for producing corresponding actual weight data, a saturation interpreter for determining the level of saturation of the VOC filter based on a comparison between the actual weight data and benchmark weight data, and an interface for providing an indication of the level of saturation.
