Patent number: 10822189Abstract: The invention relates to a method of threading a fibrous web (W) onto a circular cylindrical object (3, 19) in a reel-up (2) for a paper-making machine (1). The reel-up (2) comprises an endless flexible belt (6) mounted for rotation along a predetermined path of travel. The endless flexible belt (6) is positioned adjacent the circular cylindrical object (3, 19) during winding and the fibrous web (W) residing on the outside surface (8) to engage the circular cylindrical object (3, 19) during winding such that the endless flexible belt (6) is deflected from the predetermined path of travel. When a fibrous web (W) is to be threaded onto the circular cylindrical object (3, 19), the circular cylindrical object (3, 19) is placed at a distance from the endless flexible belt (6) such that the endless flexible belt (6) is no longer deflected from the its path of travel.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: VALMET AKTIEBOLAGInventors: Per-Olof Malmqvist, Lars Gustafsson, Claes Thelander, Tomas Carlsson

Patent number: 9464309Abstract: According to a first aspect, hydrolysis of a protein-containing raw material and separation of amino acids/peptides is carried out, wherein the hydrolysis is effected by using the endogenous enzymes of the protein-containing raw material. The hydrolysate is passed through a membrane filter, wherein peptide/amino acids follow a permeate stream, while the active enzymes continuously break down any protein residues that are deposited on the membrane surface. The enzymes are passed together with retentate back to the hydrolysis. Furthermore, an amino acid and peptide product and an oil product are described and the use thereof is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2013Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: ZYMTECH HOLDING AGInventor: Tomas Carlsson
