  • Patent number: 8544184
    Abstract: A machine for the production of a fibrous web. The fibrous web being a paper web, a cardboard web or a tissue web. The machine including a hot air hood, an upstream drying zone, a downstream dryer cylinder and a dryer hood. The upstream drying zone has an area in which the moving fibrous web is treated with hot air from the hot air hood, the hot air hood being allocated to the upstream drying zone. The downstream dryer cylinder is a Yankee-Cylinder. The dryer hood is associated with the downstream dryer cylinder for further drying of the fibrous web. The hot air for the hot air hood is at least partially recovered from the dryer hood which is associated to the downstream drying cylinder.

  • Patent number: 8435384
    Abstract: A method for drying a fibrous web, particularly a paper, cardboard or tissue web whereby the moving fibrous web is treated with got air in the area of a pre-definable drying zone the fibrous web is treated, at least in some areas inside the drying zone with steam.

  • Patent number: 8402673
    Abstract: A method for drying a fibrous web, especially a paper, cardboard or tissue web, the moving web is treated with hot air from a hot air hood in the area of a upstream pre-defined drying zone, and is subsequent carried to the drying zone in a downstream drying cylinder, especially a Yankee-Cylinder, to which an additional hood is allocated and in whose area the fibrous web is dried further. The hot air for the hot air hood allocated to the upstream drying zone is recovered, at least partially, from the exhaust air of the hood allocated to the downstream drying cylinder.

  • Patent number: 7976681
    Abstract: An apparatus to produce a fibrous web having a three-dimensional surface structure, especially a paper, cardboard or tissue web, includes a headbox, a forming element, especially a forming roll, a structured fabric and a dewatering fabric, whereby the structured fabric and the dewatering fabric run together and form a stock infeed nip and are carried over the forming element whereby the structured fabric is the inside fabric and the dewatering fabric is the outside fabric and whereby fibrous suspension is fed into the stock infeed nip by way of the headbox. At least one catch pan is provided in the area of the outfeed nip which is formed between the forming element and the structured fabric coming off it for water, fibers, fines and/or similar substances accumulating in the area of this outfeed nip.

  • Patent number: 5442329
    Abstract: The rotor of the joint includes two rectangular waveguide ports, carrying two separate signals. The stator has two corresponding rectangular waveguide ports. The ports are coupled with a circular waveguide, which comprises two relatively rotatable stub-cylinders, disposed co-axially in-line on the axis of rotation. Signal A is transmitted through the circular waveguide, across the joint, in the TM01 propagation mode, while signal B is transmitted across the joint in the TE01 mode. These circular-symmetrical modes, with mutually orthogonal field distribution, are able to cut cross-talk interference, since the mode transducers of these modes maintain good mutual isolation, even though the signals are present together in the circular waveguide, and at the same or similar frequency. The TM01 mode (signal A) is excited, and received, by means of slots formed in the end wall of the circular waveguide stubs. The port for signal A communicates with the circular waveguide through the two slots.
