Abstract: A roll cover and a roll in particular for use in a machine line for the production or processing of a fibrous web is provided, wherein the roll cover includes a radial outer functional layer which provides the surface of the roll cover in contact with the web, and wherein the functional layer has structural elements, in particular in the form of grooves and/or bores, wherein the functional layer is constructed of an elastomer material with a Poisson number greater than 0.4, between 0.45 and 0.5.

Abstract: A roll cover is particular suited for use in an apparatus for producing or surface finishing a fibrous web, such as a web of paper or of cardboard. The roll cover is formed on a roll core of metal or of a fiber-reinforced plastic and includes a matrix system wherein fillers are provided. The fillers provided are three or more in number and they have different median particle sizes.

Abstract: A roll for a machine for producing and/or processing a fibrous web, such as a paper, board or tissue web, has a circular-cylindrical main roll body. A roll cover covers the circumferential surface of the main roll body, at least in some segments. A pressure- and/or temperature-sensitive sensor is embedded in the roll cover. The sensor connects to an electrical and/or optical signal line. The signal line has a first line segment inside the roll. A second line segment extends substantially outside the roll and is connectable to a signal excitation and/or signal processing unit at one end. An electrical and/or optical rotational connection connects the first and second line segments to allow the line segments to be rotated relative to one another. When the roll is rotated, the first line segment rotates together with the main roll body. The second line segment does not have to follow the rotation.

Abstract: A roll for a machine for processing a material web, in particular a paper, cardboard, or tissue machine, has a cylindrical roll core and a roll cover which is arranged on the radially outer lateral face of the roll core. The roll cover has a functional layer and a connecting structure which lies radially between the roll core and the functional layer. The radially outer lateral face of the functional layer provides a contact surface which can be brought into contact with the material web or a covering. A plurality of pressure and/or temperature-sensitive sensors are embedded in the roll cover. The sensors are arranged in the connecting structure or at the interface between the connecting structure and the functional layer.

Abstract: A roll for use in a machine for at least one of producing, processing and finishing a fibrous web such as a paper, cardboard or tissue web; comprising a roll core, a roll cover arranged on the roll core, roll caps which close off the roll at its end faces, and at least one glass fiber with sensors for determining operating parameters arranged in at least one of the roll cover and between the roll cover and the roll core; whereby the at least one glass fiber is connected to an evaluation device outside the roll; and wherein the at least one glass fiber is arranged in a reversibly closable bore in the roll core and in a recess in the roll cap aligned with the reversibly closable bore.

Abstract: A machine for producing and/or processing a fiber web, in particular a tissue web, includes a press roll and a mating roll which forms a nip with the press roll and the circumferential surface of which has a contour running in the cross-machine direction which, during operation of the machine, changes as compared with when the machine is at a standstill. The press roll has a roll core and a roll cover surrounding the roll core. Multiple pressure and/or temperature sensors are disposed in the roll cover and/or between the roll core and the roll cover. The pressure and/or temperature sensors are spaced apart differently far from one another in the cross-machine direction of the press roll, at least in some areas.

Abstract: A roller is particularly suited for use in a machine for manufacturing and/or finishing a fibrous web, such as a paper web or cardboard web. The roller includes a roller core and, configured thereon, a roller covering. The covering has at least one layer of a resin material with at least one fiber material embedded therein. The at least one layer has an outer surface that is suitable for coming into direct or indirect contact with the fibrous web. The at least one fiber material here comprises fibers having a linear weight from 0.5 to 5 dtex, preferably from 0.5 to 2 dtex.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a roller shell or roller covering of a roller from a PPDI-based polyurethane. To avoid stress cracks, the intention is to overcome the inadequacy in green strength as quickly as possible by the hardener that is added to the polyurethane bringing the pot time down to 5 to 60 seconds. The present invention also relates to a PPDI polyurethane for producing a roller shell or roller covering of a roller formed by mixing a PPDI prepolymer with a hardener, in particular for carrying out the method, wherein 60 to 99% by weight of the hardener is 1,4-butane diol, at most 40% by weight is diamine and at most 1% by weight is a catalyst.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a roller shell or roller lining of a roller made from a PPDI-based polyurethane plastic. The green strength shortcomings are to be overcome as quickly as possible to prevent stress cracks by the fact that the hardener added to the polyurethane shortens the working life to 5 to 60 seconds. The invention also relates to a PPDI polyurethane for the production of a roller shell or roller lining of a roller made by mixing a PPDI prepolymer with a hardener, in particular to carry out the method, wherein it is important that the hardener consists of 60 to 99% 1,4-butanediol, a maximum of 40% diamine, and at most 1% catalyst.
