A doctor blade, intended for a doctor blade chamber (6) for a flexography printing unit (1) equipped with a screened cylinder (4), presents in the form of a rectangular blade, with a functional longitudinal side (34) of which a longitudinal edge is capable of making contact with the screened cylinder (4), a longitudinal fastening side (33) and two lateral sides (36, 37). The doctor blade comprises at least one opening located towards the functional longitudinal side (34) and towards the first of the two lateral sides (36, 37).

An elongated planar or profiled component for a manufacturing machine of a fibrous cellulosic web, such as paper, board or tissue web, is at least partially formed from a composite material having a continuous polymer matrix, and reinforcing inorganic fibers embedded in the continuous polymer matrix. The continuous polymer matrix is biodegradable and the reinforcing inorganic fibers are biodegradable glass fibers. A method is disclosed for recycling elongated planar and/or profiled components used for manufacture of a fibrous web.

A creping blade having a first side face, a second side face, and a shelf extending from the first side face to the second side face, with a scraping edge at the intersection of the first side face and the shelf. The shelf has a first section having a first coefficient of friction and a second section have a second coefficient of friction and the second coefficient of friction is greater than the first coefficient of friction.

The invention relates to a doctor device, associated with a contact surface, in particular a rotating roller. The doctor device has a doctor blade, provided for placement against the roller, for bringing the doctor blade into contact with the roller by way of a pressurized fluid. At least one sensor is provided on the doctor blade, for generating a measured value for the contact pressure of the doctor when it is placed against the roller. There is a control unit which controls the speed at which the doctor can be placed against the contact surface, in particular the roller.

In a general aspect, a coating blade for application of coating color to a fibrous web can include an elongate substrate having a longitudinal edge. Within an operating zone of the coating blade intended for contact with a coating color, the elongate substrate can include a longitudinal wear-resistant deposit adjacent to the longitudinal edge. The coating blade, within the operating zone, can also include a longitudinal masking deposit adjoining the longitudinal wear-resistant deposit.

A wear element is disclosed for contacting a roll surface in a papermaking machine. The wear element includes a renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly, bio-derived resin matrix and renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly, natural reinforcement fibres.

Blowing equipment (10) for doctor equipment of a fiber web machine (10) includes a distribution channel (11), the length of which corresponds essentially to the length of the doctor equipment (40). The blowing equipment (10) also includes nozzle devices (12) for directing blowing in the doctor equipment (40). The nozzle devices (12) are arranged to be adapted to a blade holder (13) that belongs to the doctor equipment (40) for establishing doctor blowing. The distribution channel (11) is adapted to be fastened to the blade holder (13). The invention also relates to doctor equipment of a fiber web machine, where the doctor equipment is equipped with blowing equipment.

A method for anomaly detection on a doctor blade of a papermaking machine includes obtaining doctor blade-related data, wherein the doctor blade-related data includes working condition data, status monitoring data, and design parameter data of the doctor blade, performing a predetermined data pre-processing on the doctor blade-related data to obtain a pre-processed data set, wherein the pre-processed data set includes processed data respectively corresponding to the working condition data, the status monitoring data, and the design parameter data; performing a predetermined feature extraction on the pre-processed data set, and fusing extracted features to obtain fused feature data; and analyzing the fused feature data based on different anomaly detection processes respectively, to perform a comprehensive anomaly detection on the doctor blade of the papermaking machine.

A method for evaluating a health status of a doctor blade of a papermaking machine includes obtaining doctor blade-related data, wherein the doctor blade-related data includes working condition data, status monitoring data, and design parameter data of the doctor blade, performing data pre-processing on the doctor blade-related data in a predetermined pre-processing manner to obtain a pre-processed data set, wherein the pre-processed data set includes processed data respectively corresponding to the working condition data, the status monitoring data, and the design parameter data. performing feature extraction on the pre-processed data set in a predetermined feature extraction manner, and processing extracted features to obtain processed feature data, and evaluating with respect to working condition, status monitoring, and design parameter respectively based on the processed feature data, to perform a comprehensive evaluation on the health status of the doctor blade of the papermaking machine.

A doctoring apparatus has a flexible doctor blade advanced longitudinally across a surface being doctored. The doctor blade is feed in a continuous length from a storage cartridge and sequentially supported in a blade holder to apply the blade to a moving surface to be doctored. One or both of a pneumatic blade advancing device and a pneumatically operated clamping system are opened and closed in timed sequence with reciprocation of the blade holder longitudinally shifting the doctor blade in a selected direction across the doctored surface. The pneumatic blade advancing device includes an idler roller and a powered roller that co-operate to indexingly advance the doctor blade along the blade path. The clamping system includes a blade cutter to cut the doctor blade and that drives the cut off end of the doctor blade into a discard container.
