A sealing device seals a pressure or vacuum zone of a roller having a roller sleeve which is movable in relation to the sealing device. The sealing device has a sealing strip with an upper side forming a sealing face and a lubricant channel adjoining the sealing face and is formed by at least one groove-type depression in the sealing strip, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the sealing strip. When the sealing device is installed, the sealing face and the opening of the groove-type depression face toward the inner side of the roller sleeve. The lubricant channel is hooked up to a supply line which at least in portions runs within the sealing strip and delivers lubricant between the inner side of the roller sleeve and the sealing face. The sealing strip, at each of its two ends, has a wall delimiting the lubricant channel in its length. |

The invention relates to a device for dewatering a fibrous web with a press zone which is formed by a mating element with a curved surface and a permeable press belt which wraps at least partially around the curved surface and has a running side and a contact side contacting a second side of the fibrous web. A permeable carrier belt arranged between the mating element and the fibrous web guides the fibrous web through the press zone. The device is configured so a fluid can flow through the press belt, the fibrous web, and the permeable carrier belt at least in a part region of the press zone. The permeable press belt is configured to generate a pressing pressure in the press zone when a tensile stress of at least 20 kN/m is applied and the contact side is adapted to a quality of the fibrous web produced. |

The invention relates to a method for optimizing the energy balance of a forming section in a machine for producing fibrous webs, in which a fiber suspension, which is fed to the forming section by way of a material ramp after the immobility point is reached, is passed through at least two dewatering units within a compression zone and to a subsequent functional unit. The invention is characterized in that a setpoint value for a target dryness to be set is predefined based on the existing dewatering elements as a function of a theoretical maximum achievable dryness under plant conditions in the area of the transition zone, said setpoint being selected such that it is less than the theoretical maximum achievable dryness but is equal to or greater than a required minimum dryness in the area of the transition zone, and that the target dryness is controlled by lowering the inlet dryness at one of the last dewatering units disposed in the direction of passage of the fiber suspension within the compression zone. |

A process for producing tissue webs is disclosed. The process includes the step of partially dewatering a tissue web and then subjecting the web to multiple deflections against fabrics prior to drying the tissue web. For instance, in one embodiment, the tissue web is deflected multiple times in between two opposing fabrics. The tissue web can be deflected against the fabrics under sufficient pressure to cause the tissue web to mold against the fabrics. By deflecting the tissue web multiple times, rearrangement of the papermaking fibers contained in the tissue web occurs increasing the bulk of the web. |

This invention relates to a press device with a suction press roll. According to the invention, a linear force increase can be achieved in press devices with suction press rolls of identical or smaller size than conventional suction press rolls by equipping the suction press rolls with a compliance compensator. Said compliance compensator is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the suction press roll in said suction press roll. Different concepts are possible depending on the roll cover construction and the arrangement of the suction box, whereby the one first embodiment is characterized by the integration of a shoe press roll in the suction press roll. A second embodiment is characterized by the combination of a routing of connection channels between the press nip and the suction box through the roll cover with an integrated compliance compensator in the interior space enclosed by the roll cover. |

This invention relates to a machine for the production of a tissue paper web with a forming section in which the tissue paper web is formed from a pulp suspension on a skin and with a nip which is formed between the cylindrical surface of a drying cylinder, in particular a Yankee drying cylinder, and a mating surface and through which the tissue paper web can be conveyed together with the skin. The configuration of the machine is variable such that, depending on the quality of the tissue paper to be produced, for example its absorbency or tear resistance, the skin is either a three-dimensionally structured skin, a structured mesh, a non-structured skin, or a felt, whereby the mating surface is formed by the cylindrical surface of a press roller which includes a suction zone and in which provision is made for bores communicating with the suction zone. |

A paper machine suction roll has a perforated shell (10) and a static suction box (11) sealed against the inner surface of the shell (10) to create a suction zone (11a) on the roll surface as it rotates. Holes (14) extending through the shell (10) are placed at distances (b1) of varying magnitude from one another such that the hole pattern formed on the inner surface of the shell (10) is irregular. Each hole (14) has a surrounding countersink situated at regular intervals (a) from one another forming a regular countersink pattern on the outer surface of the shell (10). A conventionally drilled suction roll produces very powerful noise peaks at certain multiples of rotation frequency. When the position of the holes is changed at random in particular in the circumferential direction, regular periodicity disappears and the sound produced is a less disturbing humming-type sound. |
