A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a pipe that supplies a material containing fibers, a collision section with which the material moving from the pipe collides, and an accumulation section that is disposed downstream of the collision section and accumulates the material to form a web.

A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a pipe that supplies a material containing fibers, a supply direction change section that changes a movement direction of the material supplied from the pipe, a reducer section that is disposed downstream of the supply direction change section and decreases a movement speed of the material, and an accumulation section that is disposed downstream of the reducer section and accumulates the material to form a web.

A machine producing multi-layer cardboard/paper includes a system for controlling braking on a braking system including a motor-generator and a pneumatic mechanical brake. The system includes a command/control unit, and a pressure transducer reading air pressure along a line from the machine and translating into an electrical signal. An electro-pneumatic converter adjusts pressure of the air at a delivery pressure and an input connects to an air line at a fixed pressure greater than the delivery pressure, and. An output connects to the mechanical brake at a preset braking torque. A solenoid valve pneumatically connects at the input, to an electro-pneumatic converter output, to the air line at the pressure from the machine, and at the output. The delivery line connects the solenoid valve to the mechanical brake. The command/control unit calculates splitting braking torque between mechanical braking torque and motor-generator braking torque and controls the motor-generator braking torque.

A device for the production of nonwoven fabric webs. The device includes a nonwoven production device comprising a supporting structure, and an auxiliary unit comprising at least one liquid tank and a platform arranged on a top side of the auxiliary unit. The nonwoven production device is arranged on the supporting structure in an assembled state. The nonwoven production device and the auxiliary unit are arranged in relation to each other so that, for at least one of assembling, operating, and repairing the nonwoven production device, access to the nonwoven production device is provided from the platform.

A web manufacturing apparatus includes a transport section configured to transport a web containing fiber, a web humidifier configured to humidify the web, and a control section configured to control operation of the transport section and the web humidifier. When transportation of the web by the transport section is stopped, the control section causes the transport section to recommence transportation of the web after the web is humidified by the web humidifier. The control section may also cause the web humidifier to stop humidification of the web after the web humidifier starts humidification of the web and a predetermined duration elapses.

A rotating pulp suction and robot transfer molding machine includes: a frame and a pulp container located at an inner bottom of the frame. A pulp container drive mechanism is connected to the pulp container and drives the pulp container to move up and down. A pulp suction vacuum pipeline is arranged horizontally and two ends thereof are rotatably connected on the frame. A pulp suction mold is fixed on the middle of the pulp suction vacuum pipeline and connected thereto by a vacuumizing connecting structure. An extrusion mechanism downwardly engages with the pulp suction mold and extrudes pulp to prepare a wet blank of pulp product. A robot is mounted with a transfer mold and used to transfer the wet blank to outside of the frame. A high-low pressure sprinkler pipe is horizontally slidably connected with the frame and transversely arranged above the pulp suction vacuum pipeline.
