Sealing strip system and sealing strip
11365514 · 2022-06-21 · ·

A sealing strip for sealing a suction zone of a suctioned roll of a machine for producing and/or processing a fibrous web has wear volume, which is gradually worn away by tribological contact with the roll. The sealing strip system further includes a sensor system for detecting the state of wear of the sealing strip, and an evaluation unit. The sensor system is embedded in a sensor channel extending within the sealing strip in the longitudinal direction at the wear volume across substantially the entire length of a sealing surface of strip, and is connectable to the evaluation unit and/or to a unit for supplying the sensor system with a medium for generating information via a connection provided on the lower side of the sealing strip, and leading out of the strip on the side of the wear volume facing away from the sealing surface.

SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR OPTIMIZING OPERATION OF INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
20220155734 · 2022-05-19 ·

A system for optimizing machine performance includes an optimization system and a data processing system. The data processing system records readings from data sources monitoring the performance of a machine and related aspects. The readings are processed at the optimization system and a machine learning model is trained to differentiate between data corresponding to an interval of optimal runtime performance and data corresponding to an interval of pre-error performance. The trained model is used to identify a subset of the various data sources that are most-predictive for a particular performance state of the machine, such as a pre-error performance state or an optimal runtime performance state. The subset of the various data sources are provided to a multivariate model for generating set-point recommendations for each of the most-predictive data sources. Visualizations are generated for providing real-time monitoring of deviations of the most-predictive data sources from the set-points associated therewith.

PORE REMOVAL FROM SCREEN DEVICES TO INCREASE FLOW UNIFORMITY

According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access information about a screen device having pores, in which the screen device is to be employed to filter liquid from a slurry composed of the liquid and material elements to form a part from the material elements. The processor may also access information about a main body, in which the main body is to support the screen device during formation of the part and has a plurality of openings that are larger than the pores in the screen device. The processor may identify, based on relative locations of the pores and the openings, pores that are to be removed from the screen device to increase uniformity of liquid flow through the pores across the screen device and may modify the accessed information about the screen device to remove the identified pores from the screen device.
