A transfer device includes a wet blank transfer mold internally provided with an airtight air chamber, a front face with a recessed matching cavity configured to be sheathed on the outside of a pulp wet blank container and is recessed towards the airtight air chamber. The recessed matching cavity includes several small communicating holes provided respectively in an inner wall of each recessed matching cavity and at the bottom of the recessed matching cavity for communication between the recessed matching cavity and the airtight air chamber. A moving frame parallel to the wet blank transfer mold with evenly spaced vacuum cups, is connected to a back face of the wet blank transfer mold via a guiding mechanism. A driver connected between the back face of the wet blank transfer mold and the moving frame to drive the moving frame to move relative to the wet blank transfer mold.

A cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning roller configured to rotate about a first rotation axis to clean a component to which paper dust is attached, the cleaning roller having a first area and a second area that is adjacent to the first area in a direction along the first rotation axis and to which more paper dust is attached than to the first area, and a remover configured to rotate about a second rotation axis extending in a direction different from the first rotation axis and configured to come in contact with at least a portion of the second area to remove the paper dust from the second area.

A system comprising: (a) housing; (b) support arm; and (c) rotary actuator that rotates a steam box between a working position and a rotated position.

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.

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.

A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes: a defibration unit that defibrates a raw material containing fibers in a gas atmosphere; and a sheet former that forms a sheet by using at least a part of defibrated substances obtained through a defibrating process performed by the defibration unit. The defibration unit and the sheet former are thermally blocked from each other.

A traversable measuring device (15) for determining a cross direction profile of a property of a moving lignocellulose-containing fiber web (2). The measuring device has a property measuring sensor (23) for determining a measurement result representing the property of the web at multiple cross directional measurement positions (P1, P2, P3, P4), a position measuring sensor (24) for determining the cross directional measurement position of the property measuring sensor associating to the respective measurement result, and an analysis device (25) for receiving the measurement results and the respective cross directional measurement positions (P1, P2, P3, P4) and for allocating the measurement results with the respective cross directional measurement positions for forming the cross direction profile of the web property (2). The measuring device has a mounting bracket (16) that is detachably fixable with quick clamping for fastening the measuring device at a measurement site in a fiber web machine (1).
