Abstract: The invention relates to a guiding device for a continuous paper sheet comprising at least one guiding element which is disposed downstream with respect to an application group and used in the form of an air circulating channel in order to ensure a contactless guiding in a machine producing and/or processing a continuous material sheet, in particular a paper or paperboard sheet. Said guiding element consists of a guiding surface made at least partially of an air-permeable porous material which is exposed to a compressed air pressure in such a way that air can circulate therethrough, thereby forming an air cushion between said guiding surface and a moving material sheet.

Abstract: The present invention provides a suction roll system in a drying section of a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web, the suction roll system including a suction roll having an outer circumferential surface. The circumferential surface defines holes configured for attracting the fibrous web by suction and includes regions, more than two of the regions including the holes, at least two of the regions relative to one another having different numbers of the holes per unit area or having the holes with different diameters per unit area. The circumferential surface has strips which extend in a circumferential direction, at least one strip which extends in a helical shape over the circumferential surface, or strips which extend either substantially in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the suction roll or diagonally relative to the longitudinal axis. The regions include the strips.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating a fibrous web that includes at least one supporting surface arranged to support a surface of the fibrous web, and at least one sealing device positionable adjacent a surface of the web opposite the surface of the web supported by the at least one supporting surface. The at least one sealing device includes a positionably adjustable sealing element. A distance between the positionably adjustable sealing element and the surface of the web opposite the surface supported by the at least one supporting surface is adjustable.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for drilling holes in a shell of a paper machine cylinder, which is in its operating position. The process includes fixing a drilling apparatus to a cylinder adjacent to the cylinder to be drilled, and substantially eliminating influences of mechanical play due to structures of the adjacent cylinder prior to drilling, which includes coupling a support member to the adjacent cylinder to exert tangential forces on the adjacent cylinder, whereby the mechanical play is substantially eliminated.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating a fibrous web that includes at least one supporting surface arranged to support a surface of the fibrous web, and at least one sealing device positionable adjacent a surface of the web opposite the surface of the web supported by the at least one supporting surface. The at least one sealing device includes a sealing element and a holder structured and arranged to hold and to enable lateral sliding movement of the at least one sealing device cross-wise to a web travel direction.

Abstract: A machine for producing a material web is provided having at least one smooth roll at least partially wrapped by the material web. The machine includes an air blowing device arranged for ventilating the material web with at least one discharge stream, wherein the at least one discharge stream is directed into a wedge-shaped opening formed between the at least one at least one roll and the material web leaving the roll.

Abstract: Device and process for removing a fibrous material web from a drying section of a machine for producing and/or refining the fibrous material web and into a catch device. The drying section includes heated drying cylinders, guidance rolls, and at least one drying wire arranged such that the fibrous material web is guided through the drying section over the heated drying cylinders and the guidance rolls at least predominately by the at least one drying wire. The device includes at least one controllable separating device arranged to at least reduce an adhesion force between the fibrous material web and the at least one drying wire.

Abstract: In a drying section of a machine for producing a material web such as, in particular, a paper or cardboard web, a pick-up suction roll, in particular a larger pick-up suction roll, is provided between the last pressing nip of a pressing section and a subsequent impingement drying unit, which suction roll removes the material web from a pressing felt guided through the pressing nip or from a transfer belt and transfers it to the impingement drying unit.

Abstract: Drying section of a machine for producing a material web. The drying section includes at least one web guidance device and at least one wire arranged to guide the material web through the at least one web guidance device. The at least one web guidance device is structured and arranged to direct pressurized gas at the material web so that, in a web travel direction, the material web is alternately lifted from the at least one wire and resting against the at least one wire.

Abstract: Impinging stream dryer and process for drying a fibrous material web that includes an air-permeable, endlessly circulating support belt structured and arranged to support a side of the fibrous material web, a device for impinging an opposite side of the fibrous material web with an impinging stream, and a belt cooling device arranged to cool at least an edge zone of said support belt that is directly impinged with the impinging stream.
