Abstract: A web-tension-measuring device has two plates, which can be rotated relative to one another about an axis of rotation, to be precise such that the one free end of the one plate can be moved towards, or away from, the corresponding, opposite free end of the other plate. A force transducer is arranged in the region of the free ends of the two plates and outside the axis of rotation. The force transducer is configured, during movement of the free ends of the two plates towards one another, to detect a corresponding compressive loading arising from the movement and, during the movement of the free ends away from one another, to detect a corresponding tensile loading between the two plates.

Abstract: An apparatus for the production of a fibrous web, especially a tissue or hygienic web, the fibrous web runs through a press nip which is formed by a press unit and a backing roll and the web is subsequently run through a creping nip which is formed by the backing roll and a creping roll around which a textured belt is looped. Moreover, the creping roll is equipped with its own drive. The creping roll can be pressed against the backing roll through a pivoted lever whose pivoting axis which is parallel with the axes of the creping roll and is positioned such that the connecting line between the pivoting axis and the creping roll axis forms an angle of approximately 90° with the connecting line between the creping roll axis and the backing roll axis, when viewed in a vertical plane relative to these axes.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for threading a material web onto a reel. The process includes guiding a beginning of the material web to be wound around the drum, directing blower air to keep the material web away from the reel, supplying the material web to a preparation station, and threading the reel with the material web. The apparatus includes a drum positioned to precede the reel, a blower bar arranged cross-wise to a web travel direction and including at least one exit opening adapted to provide blower air, a blower supply device adapted to supply blower air to the blower bar, and a control unit adapted to control activation of the blower air.

Abstract: Winding machine and process for producing at least one wound roll from a supplied material web. The winding machine includes a core formed by a tube, on which the material web is rolled into a wound roll, and at least one winding gap, which regulates the winding tightness formed between the core and the wound roll originating thereon. The winding machine also includes at least one winding roller, and at least one pre-tensioned continuous loop encircling at least one winding roller. The process includes passing the material web over at least one pre-tensioned continuous loop encircling at least one winding roller, the material web being one of paper or cardboard, and regulating the winding tightness of the at least one wound roll with a winding gap between a winding roll and the material web or a core, comprising a tube.

Abstract: Winding machine and process for winding a material web, in particular a paper or cardboard web, onto a reel. The material web is guided by a carrying drum that can be supplied with suction, and a nip is formed between the carrying drum and the reel. The carrying drum, which has a perforated casing and/or is provided with circumferential grooves, is supplied with suction by way of at least one external suction box. The suction box is disposed with at least one suction opening opposite the circumference region of the carrying drum that is not wrapped by the material web. The suction box has at least one sealing element that cooperates with the carrying drum in the vicinity of the suction opening.
