Calender that includes at least one supporting bracket, and a roll stack having at least two rolls. At least one axial end of each of the at least two rolls are supported by the at least one supporting bracket. A connection arrangement includes a fluid connection coupled to at least one of the at least two rolls and a drive connection coupled to at least one of the at least two rolls, and a closed housing is arranged to enclose the connection arrangement. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

A wet end of the machine comprises at least one vertical, self-supporting installation module (10a, 10b) to be positioned into connection with the machine which module is supported from its lower end by foundation structures of the machine construction and which extends at least to the height of a second maintenance platform (50b) of the machine, which installation module (10) includes at least valves (40) and pipes (30) related to the hydraulic and / or pneumatic actuators of the machine.

The invention relates to a system (1) and a method for collecting and handling dust in a paper-making environment. The system (1) comprises a source of underpressure (2) and an elongated collector (4) that extends along a longitudinal axis and which elongated collector (4) is connected to the source of underpressure (2) through at least one suction duct (7) such that underpressure can be generated inside the elongated collector (4). The elongated collector (4) has an inlet (5) through which dust-laden air can enter the elongated collector (4) and an exit opening (6) leading to the suction duct (7) through which exit opening (6) dust-laden air can be evacuated from the elongated collector (4). A source of water (8) is connected by at least one water supply duct (10) to the elongated collector (4) such that water from the source of water (8) can be introduced into the elongated collector so that dust in the dust-laden air can be exposed to and mix with the water introduced into the elongated collector (4). A flow meter (12) is functionally connected to the system (1) to measure at least one of a flow of water from the source of water (8) to the elongated collector (4) or a flow of water exiting from the elongated collector (4) through the exit opening (6) of the elongated collector (4) and arranged to send a signal indicating a numerical value for a flow of water that reaches or leaves the elongated collector (4) such that this value can be compared to a predetermined minimum value. The system is used to carry out the inventive method.

The present invention relates to a service platform arrangement (10) of a fiber web machine, including at least a walkway (14) and a railing (12) disposed in connection with each other so that the railing extends from the walkway to a first direction. The service platform arrangement comprises an essentially closed protecting structure (40) provided in connection with the walkway in a horizontal level essentially at the railing so that it extends from the walkway to another direction, which is essentially the opposite direction in relation to the first direction.

A roll stand assembly for processing a sheet product with a plurality of rolls on a frame. A first roll has a first sheet engaging surface and a first shaft assembly. A second roll has a second sheet engaging surface and a second shaft assembly. The first and second rolls are relatively movable between: a) an operating relationship; and b) an open relationship. A safety assembly prevents inadvertent changing of the first and second rolls from the open relationship into the operating relationship. The safety assembly includes a first chuck component mounted for movement relative to the frame between: a) a running position wherein the safety assembly is in a disengaged state; and b) a lockout position.
