A monitoring system comprising: (a) one or more sensors that monitor activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of stock on a paper machine and (b) a control system in communication with the one or more sensors and one or more foil sections within the paper machine; wherein the control system measures the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of the stock and correlates the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof to formation of fibers within the stock so that an angle, height, or both of the one or more foil sections are adjusted to change the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof in the stock.

An apparatus for adjusting a scraper bar in a line for producing a paper web, having a wire, assigned to which are scraper bars oriented transversely to its direction of movement and situated at a distance from one another. The scraper bar is supported by a support bar and is adjustable with respect to the support bar and with respect to the wire by means of a positioning device. The scraper bar and the support bar are coupled together by way of links that are mounted thereon. The distance or the angular position of the scraper bar with respect to the support bar and thus with respect to the wire is adjustable by a displacement of the scraper bar with respect to the support bar.

A pneumatically actuated doctoring device for paper machine de-watering/paper forming is provided having a base member supported on a papermaking machine structure, and a blade support with a fabric contact element. A single pneumatic air tube having first and second attachments on opposing sides is also provided. The first attachment engages the base member and the second attachment engages the blade support. The tube is configured for connection to a pressurized air source and a vacuum source to extend or retract the blade support. A linkage arrangement is connected between the blade support and the base member and includes first and second links located between the base member and the support member. The links each have a pivotal connection to the base member and provide for a fixed orientation of the blade support relative to the base member as the pneumatic air tube extends or retracts the blade support.

An improved method for producing paper from pulp includes a plurality of subassemblies arranged in the forming or wet section of a Fourdrinier. The Fourdrinier includes a dewatering table having a plurality of blades that are static and on-the run adjustable in height and/or angle to control orientation of paper fibers in the stock to create a superior quality of paper and improved paper strength characteristics. Gravity and vacuum assisted drainage elements are equipped with on-the-run adjustable angle and height dewatering foil blades starting from a paper dryness of 0.1% and extending all the way to 5% dryness. The result of this process and machine is to improve the paper quality, save fibers and chemicals and fulfill the required paper properties.
