  • Patent number: 10344864
    Abstract: A suction roll assembly for sealing at least one negative or positive pressure zone which adjoins a surface of the roll which is perforated and moves in a movement direction in a machine for making paper, tissue or cardboard, has at least one sealing element which lies opposite the moving surface and is arranged in a receptacle which can be moved to change the format of the negative or positive pressure zone. In order to simplify the adjustability of the receptacle in order to position the sealing element, there is a signal transmitter which is connected directly or indirectly to the sealing element and the signal of which can be received on that side of the moving surface which faces away from the sealing element.

  • Publication number: 20070267161
    Abstract: A machine for the production of a web of paper or other fiber material (1, 6, 17, 37), comprising a belt (14, 26, 43), wherein the length of the belt (14, 26, 43) is elastically extendable, the web of fiber material (1, 6, 17, 37) can be fed to the belt (14, 26, 43) when the belt (14, 26, 43) is in extended state and the belt (14, 26, 43) can be slackened when the web of fiber material (1, 6, 17, 37) is placed thereon, such that the web of fiber material (1, 6, 17, 37) is compressed and the adhesion forces between the web of fiber material (1, 6, 17, 37) and the belt (14, 26, 43) are sufficiently high in order to avoid the formation of folds in the compressed web (1, 6, 17, 37).

  • Publication number: 20070166462
    Abstract: A method for the production of a wood-free coated, matt or semi-matt paper web, including the steps of precalendering, coating and drying. The precalendering step includes precalendering the paper web using at least one apparatus for precalendering. The coating step includes coating at least one side of the paper web by using at least one apparatus for applying one of a liquid and pasty application medium. The drying step includes drying the paper web using at least one apparatus for drying the paper web. The method creates the wood-free coated paper web with a roughness level in the range from 0.8 to 3.9 ?m PPS (Parker Print Surf) and a gloss value in the range from 3 to 35% TAPPI 75° (Specular Gloss of Paper and Paperboard at 75°).

  • Patent number: 6533890
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the production of ligneous material boards characterized by a positive separation of the press platen applying the compression pressure from the mat at the frame sealing the outer margin, so that the press pressure is applied independently of the pressure required for the sealing.
