Patent number: 11306422Abstract: A system for making a nonwoven nonwoven spun-bond or melt-blown fabric has a spinneret for spinning fibers or filaments, a cooler downstream of the spinneret for cooling the spun fibers or filaments, a stretcher downstream of the cooler for stretching the cooled fibers or filaments, and a conveyor downstream of the stretcher. The stretched and cooled fibers or filaments are deposited as a nonwoven web on the conveyor. Sensors measure input parameters at the spinneret, at the cooler, at the stretcher, and/or at at least one diffuser or at the conveyor. An evaluating unit for determining an output parameter from the measured input parameter with respect to a predetermined reference parameter.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: REIFENHAEUSER GMBH & CO KG MASCHINENFABRIKInventors: Jens Mager, Andreas Roesner, Christian Stelter, Asmir Vodencarevic, Thomas Fett, Mark Hilgers, Christoph Lettowsky

Patent number: 11305474Abstract: A plastic film of a thermoplastic synthetic resin is made in a film-making system by extrusion from a die of an extruder. First the plastic is melted and extruded from the die as a tube or web that is, typically after cooling and stretching, formed into a package. At least one reference parameter is provided, and, during continuous operation of the system, two input parameters different from the reference parameter are measured by respective measuring devices An output is determined from these reference parameters and is compared with the reference parameter.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: REIFENHAEUSER GMBH & CO. KG. MASCHINENFABRIKInventors: Jens Mager, Andreas Roesner, Christian Stelter, Asmir Vodencarevic, Thomas Fett, Mark Hilgers, Christoph Lettowsky

Publication number: 20200047391Abstract: The invention relates to various aspects in the production of extrusion products. The properties of extruded articles are dependent significantly, in addition to their formulation, also on the setting variables and in particular on the thus resulting process variables. The setting variables and in particular the process variables thus represent a state of the extrusion process characterized as “fingerprint”. The thus claimed invention takes into account these facts and supports the operator of a production plant to detect earlier changes in quality and to systematically counteract a deterioration in the quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2017Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Christoph Lettowsky, Thomas Fett, Mark Hilgers, Jens Mager, Andreas B. Rösner, Christian Stelter, Asmir Vodencarevic, Paul Walach, Hans-Georg Geus, Michael Nitschke, Martin Neuenhofer

Publication number: 20190240889Abstract: The invention relates to various aspects in the production and further processing of plastic sheet material, in particular a spun-bonded non-woven fabric, a melt-blown non-woven fabric, a composite non-woven fabric, a blown film, a flat film, a plastic board or a plastic panel. A core aspect in the value chain of sheet material is a method and device for providing, retrieving and using a data element for exchanging in an over-lapping step-wise manner, a plurality of different data elements for producing the end product within the value chain of the sheet material. Within the value chain, it is possible to optimize the method using said data, to improve the construction of the used machines and systems and to improve the system technology as well as method technology for producing the sheet material.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2017Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Christoph Lettowsky, Thomas Fett, Mark Hilgers, Jens Mager, Andreas B.
