Abstract: A spray coating unit for treating a moving paper or board web with a treating agent, the spray coating unit comprising an application chamber, through which the web to be treated is arranged to move, the application chamber containing an inlet port for leading the web into the application chamber and an outlet port for leading the web out of the application chamber, and at least one row of nozzles comprising at least one nozzle for spraying the treating agent on the surface of the web in the application chamber. In accordance with the invention, the spray coating unit comprises spraying members for spraying water mist into the application chamber.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling the cross-directional nip profile of a reeling nip in a reeler, in which the reeling nip is arranged by means of a reeling core or a growing machine reel and at least one loop of an endless supporting member continuous in the direction of the axis of the reeling core. To control the cross-directional nip profile of the reeling nip, variables proportional to the tension of the supporting member are measured, cross-directional tension profile of the supporting member is determined on the basis of said variables, and further, a cross-directional nip profile of the reeling nip is determined, said nip profile being controlled by adjusting the determined cross-directional tension profile of the supporting member.

Abstract: A method and a system to control a reeling profile of a material web reel (30), when, in the forming of a material web reel (30), a web is reeled around a reeling core and when in an adjustment of CD-directional profiles of the web reel, profiling devices (8) have been applied. For adjusting quality profiles and reeling profiles of the web, profiling devices are managed with the help of profile measurings of the roller nip and/or of the profile measurings of the reel (30), which are obtained from the reel-up (2). A measuring device (40) for a measuring of a CD-directional hardness profile of the fiber web reel includes a measuring head (43), which is connected with a loading means (41, 42), which loads the measuring head against the fiber web reel. The motion course of the measuring head is linear.

Abstract: A beam structure for a web forming machine is arranged to be supported by its end components (10) on the web forming machine. The beam structure includes a casing structure (15) of a thin-sheet material, inside which a stiffener structure (30) is arranged. In addition, the casing structure (15) and the stiffener structure (30) are secured to each other to create a load-bearing beam structure.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a system in the maintenance of machine components, devices and systems relating to papermaking, where the condition, state and/or performance of machine components, devices and systems relating to papermaking are monitored by monitoring systems, which are used for performing load measurements and for collecting load measurement data comprising load measurement signals. In the method according to the invention, the measured load measurement data is processed in such a way that of the load measurement data one or more load characteristics are formed, which express the load directed at the machine component or device being measured. In the method according to the invention, load characteristics determined in real time are used as input information for an operational reliability model in order to provide an operational reliability model.

Abstract: A tube roll for a paper machine has a shell (10) and roll heads (11) for supporting the tube roll rotably to the paper machine. The shell (10) has two metal cylinders (12, 13) adapted coaxially at an interval of each other. Between the cylinders (12, 13) there is additionally a core construction (14) attached to both of the cylinders (12, 13). Each roll head (11) is attached to both of the cylinders, of which at least the inner cylinder (13) is made of a sheet metal material. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a tube roll.
