  • METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING A TAIL END IN A FIBER WEB MACHINE FROM ONE STRUCTURAL SECTION TO ANOTHER, AND ALSO AN APPARATUS AND THE USE OF IT
    Publication number: 20250051123
    Abstract: An apparatus for transporting a tail end in a fiber web machine from one structural section to another includes nozzles for guiding the tail end on the guide plate by means of an air flow such that the blown air is brought onto a guide plate shaped into a curve in such a way that the air flow of the blown air guides the tail end onto the curved guide plate by means of a bump functioning as an aerodynamic profile formed in the curved guide plate.

  • METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING A TAIL END IN A FIBER WEB MACHINE FROM ONE STRUCTURAL SECTION TO ANOTHER, AND ALSO AN APPARATUS AND THE USE OF IT
    Publication number: 20200031600
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for transporting a tail end (6) in a fiber web machine from one structural section to another in such a way that the apparatus comprises nozzles (8) for guiding the tail end (6) on the guide plate by means of an air flow (4). What is essential in the invention is that the blown air (2) is brought onto a guide plate (1) shaped into a curve in such a way that the air flow (4) of the blown air (2) guides the tail end (6) onto the curved guide plate (1) by means of a bump (3) functioning as an aerodynamic profile, i.e. a bulge guiding the air flow (4), formed in the curved guide plate (1). In addition, the invention relates to a use of a curved plate (1) for transporting a tail end (6) in a fiber web machine from one structural section to another.
