A filter element has an upstream and downstream side. A filter media assembly of the filter element has an upstream side and a downstream side and has a first filter media layer and a second filter media layer that is adjacent to the first media layer. A substantial portion of the first layer and second layer are uncoupled, and at least one of the first media layer and second media layer comprises binder fiber. The second media layer has a mean flow pore size equal to or smaller than the first media layer. A support layer system is adjacent to the downstream side of the filter media assembly, and a first wire mesh layer is adjacent to the support layer system. At least the first media layer, second media layer, support layer system, and first wire mesh cooperatively define pleats at a pleat packing density of greater than 125%.

A plurality of folding units is arranged in a circumferential direction of a drum that rotates about an axis. Each of the folding units includes: a pad for holding one part of a workpiece on a pad surface; a first folding member and a second folding member each having a folding surface for folding a different part of the workpiece so as to stack the different part over the one part; and a pivot shaft arranged parallel to the pad surface. The first folding member, the second folding member, and the pivot shaft are configured to be rotated together until the folding surface reaches a facing position and a facing posture at which the folding surface faces the pad surface. The pivot shaft is configured to be displaced in a diameter direction of the drum crossing the pad surface.

An apparatus includes: a unit that provides an instruction on creasing and folding positions on paper set such that the distance between fold crease and fold line positions is meaningful; a unit that acquires a read image by reading paper that has been subjected to creasing and folding processes in accordance with the creasing and folding positions in an open state; a unit that analyzes the read image to detect two streaks corresponding to the fold crease and the fold line from the read image, and that specifies the position of one of the two streaks as the fold crease position and the position of the other as the fold line position on the basis of the creasing and folding positions; and a unit that outputs correction information about at least one of the creasing and folding positions such that the fold crease and fold line positions match each other.

A rack display comprising a base having a front panel with a plurality of horizontal and vertical slots included thereon; left and right side panels extending from sides of the front panel; a back panel extending between the left and right side panels; and one or more shelf members including horizontal and vertical tabs. The shelf members are secured to the base by inserting the vertical and horizontal tabs within the vertical and horizontal slots respectively. The rack display is erected from a knockdown configuration by securing the shelf members to the front panel of the base via insertion of the horizontal and vertical tabs within the horizontal and vertical slots respectively.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric used for the industrial production of moistened wipes. The apparatus for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric from a roll wound on a core is mounted on a countertop, equipped with a housing, provided with a drive unit. Mounted on a hub (1) is a cylinder (2), to which eccentrically attached are rods (3) from which at a certain distance is mounted a linear feed (4). The hub assembly (1) with the cylinder (2) with the rods (3) and the linear feed (4) can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
