An apparatus includes a first roll and a second roll on each of which a pattern is formed, a first motor and a second motor to rotate the respective rolls, a shaft direction supporting mechanism to support the second roll along a shaft direction and an axial position adjusting mechanism configured to move the shaft direction supporting mechanism along the shaft direction. The posture of the rotating shaft of the second motor is maintained constant at all times, and the second roll is moved in the shaft direction along the first roll, thereby adjusting the positions of both patterns on the first roll and the second roll along the shaft direction.

An expansion ratio detection system for rubber, including a controller, a rubber sampling module, a rubber calender, a temperature control module, and an expansion ratio detection module. The rubber sampling module obtains a rubber to be tested consistent with a weight value. After the temperature control module determines that the rubber to be tested has reached a first temperature value, the rubber calender outputs the rubber to be tested having a thickness value. The expansion ratio detection module obtains an expansion ratio according to twice the thickness value and a roller pitch.

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a decorated wall or floor panel, comprising the method steps: a) providing a first molten polymer mass and a second molten polymer mass; b) extruding the molten polymer masses, wherein in particular each polymer mass is extruded by a separate extruder, wherein the molten polymer masses are layered on top of each other; c) expelling the layered molten polymer masses through a die; d) calibrating the layered molten polymer masses in order to form a plate-shaped carrier comprising at least one carrier layer comprising the first polymer mass and a sealable layer contacting the carrier layer and comprising the second polymer mass. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to plate-shaped carriers and decorative panels produced in this way, and to a device for carrying out the method.

A system for making a nonwoven nonwoven spun-bond or melt-blown fabric has a spinneret for spinning fibers or filaments, a cooler downstream of the spinneret for cooling the spun fibers or filaments, a stretcher downstream of the cooler for stretching the cooled fibers or filaments, and a conveyor downstream of the stretcher. The stretched and cooled fibers or filaments are deposited as a nonwoven web on the conveyor. Sensors measure input parameters at the spinneret, at the cooler, at the stretcher, and/or at at least one diffuser or at the conveyor. An evaluating unit for determining an output parameter from the measured input parameter with respect to a predetermined reference parameter.

The invention relates to a device for pressing flat material, comprising means for transporting the flat material (15) in a transport direction and at least one pressing roller pair (9), which is stationary in the transport direction and acts on the flat material (15) on both sides, said device being characterized in that both pressing rollers (13, 14, 29, 34) of the pressing roller pair (9) or both pressing rollers (13, 14, 29, 34) of at least one of the pressing roller pairs (9) are elastically deformable in the radial direction at least at the circumference of said pressing rollers.

The posture of the rotating shaft of the second motor is maintained constant at all times, and the second roll is moved in the shaft direction along the first roll, thereby adjusting the positions of both patterns on the first roll and the second roll along the shaft direction.

The invention relates to an apparatus for cross-sectionally shaping a multiplicity of plastics strands guided in parallel alongside one another over at least one rotatable shaping roller (18, 19, 20), in which the shaping roller is provided on its surface with a plurality of encircling shaping recesses which are arranged in parallel and in which the cross section of the plastics strands is shapeable in accordance with the cross-sectional shape of the shaping recesses, wherein preferably three shaping rollers (18, 19, 20) of the same type for sequentially shaping the plastics strands are arranged transversely to the running path of the plastics strands, wherein the plastics strands are guided between a pair of two successive shaping rollers (19, 20) on a first side of the plastics strands and a third shaping roller (18), which is arranged, between the first (19) and second shaping roller (20) of the pair of shaping rollers, on the second side of the plastics strands in the running direction of the plastics strands, and the shaping rollers are mounted in lateral guide plates by means of quick-change apparatuses.

A roll stack for the production of plastic sheeting uses a pneumatically-operated toggle joint, instead of a hydraulic press, to precisely separate two rollers. The pneumatically-operated toggle joint allows the rollers to be more quickly and safely further separated from each other in case there is an emergency.

Calendering installation for the production of a reinforcing ply (600) for a tire, which has a frame (100), two extruders (200, 300) for feeding elastomer material, a reinforcing-thread feeding device (400), a calender (500) having a first pair of counter-rotating rollers, with a first working roller (52) and a first shaping roller (51), and a second pair of counter-rotating rollers, with a second working roller (53) and a second shaping roller (54), wherein a calendaring nip (59) is formed between the working rolls (32, 53) in order to receive a first calendered rubber ply (57) delivered by the first pair of rollers (51, 52), a second calendered rubber ply (58) delivered by the second pair of rollers (53, 54), and the reinforcing threads (45) in order to supply the calendered reinforcing ply (600), which is conveyed to the outlet of the installation via GUIDE ROLLERS (62, 63). According to the invention, the two extruders (200, 300) are superposed and arranged on either side of a horizontal plane P extending at the level of the guide rollers (62, 63).
