Abstract: The invention relates to a device (11) for stabilising the transport of a material web (12) on the upper face of an air-permeable machine clothing (10), in particular a fibrous web. The device is located on the underside of the machine clothing directly upstream of an intake nip in the direction of travel (17) of the web, said nip being formed by a roll (5) and the machine clothing, and comprises a first negative-pressure zone (19) and at least one vacuum opening (20) that faces essentially in the opposite direction to the direction of travel of the web, communicating with the first negative-pressure zone of the device. This permits the boundary layer (23) of air that is carried along by the underside of the machine clothing to be at least partially sucked from said clothing into the first negative-pressure zone.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fibrous web in a papermaking machine including the steps of forming, carrying and transferring the fibrous web. The forming step includes forming the fibrous web in a forming device. A first carrying step includes carrying the fibrous web from the forming device through an extended nip press apparatus. A second carrying step includes carrying the fibrous web from the extended nip press apparatus to a transfer point. The transferring step includes transferring the fibrous web at the transfer point to a drying cylinder.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a press in a machine for producing or processing a material web, in particular a fibrous web, the press including a roller whose outer jacket is jointly enwrapped, at least in one wrap zone, respectively by at least a press belt, a support belt and a belt for dispersing water from the material web. The water-dispersing belt is located on the inside in contact with the outer jacket of the roller, the press belt on the outside and the support belt between the press belt and the water-dispersing belt. The material web is guided between the support belt and the water-dispersing belt through the wrap zone. At the end of the wrap zone, first the press belt is lifted off the support belt and then the support belt with the material web is lifted off the water dispersing belt.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the production of a tissue paper web, which is produced from a pulp suspension having fibers. The method according to the present invention is characterized in that the pulp suspension is formed, at least partly by, a pulp suspension fraction obtained through the treatment of old paper, has a refining degree of less than 30° SR and is of such condition that a laboratory sheet according to TAPPI 205 SP 95 (Rapid Kothen), whose breaking length measured according to TAPPI 220 and TAPPI 494 is 4.0 km or more, is produced therefrom.

Abstract: A process for producing a fibrous web, in particular a tissue web, includes the following steps: in a pressing zone, the fibrous web is pressed lying between the structured belt and a circulating, unstructured permeable supporting belt; the fibrous web and the structured belt are fed to a press nip provided on a Yankee cylinder; the fibrous web is transferred from the structured belt to the surface of the Yankee cylinder in the region of the press nip; and the surface of the Yankee cylinder is doctored off continuously and then recoated again, so that a renewed coating is always present in the press nip.

Abstract: A device for producing a fibrous web and, in particular, a web of tissue including a press zone through which the fibrous web together with an endless permeable structured band and an unstructured permeable supporting band is fed while lying between the structure band and the supporting band, a press nip provided on a drying cylinder through which the fibrous web together with the structured band is fed while lying between the structured band and the drying cylinder, and after which the fibrous web is led from the drying cylinder through a calender.

Abstract: A machine for the manufacture of a fiber material web (12), in particular a paper or card web, having a forming zone including at least one circulating endless dewatering belt (16, 18) includes at least one pressing zone (14) combined with a suction system.

Abstract: This invention relates to a machine for the production of a tissue paper web with a forming section in which the tissue paper web is formed from a pulp suspension on a skin and with a nip which is formed between the cylindrical surface of a drying cylinder, in particular a Yankee drying cylinder, and a mating surface and through which the tissue paper web can be conveyed together with the skin. The configuration of the machine is variable such that, depending on the quality of the tissue paper to be produced, for example its absorbency or tear resistance, the skin is either a three-dimensionally structured skin, a structured mesh, a non-structured skin, or a felt, whereby the mating surface is formed by the cylindrical surface of a press roller which includes a suction zone and in which provision is made for bores communicating with the suction zone.
