Abstract
Process for cleaning a transport belt of a machine for manufacturing and/or processing a material web with at least one cleaning device. The process includes detecting the contamination of the transport belt with at least one sensor, generating a state matrix which contains the location coordinates of the detected contamination, and one of controlling and regulating the at least one cleaning device for cleaning over at least a width of the transport belt with a varying desired intensity of cleaning in accordance with the generated state matrix.
Claims25
A process for cleaning a transport belt of a machine for at least one of manufacturing and processing a material web with at least one cleaning device, the process comprising:
- detecting contamination of the transport belt with at least one sensor;
- generating a state matrix which contains location coordinates of the detected contamination;
- and
- at least one of controlling and regulating the at least one cleaning device for cleaning over at least a width of the transport belt with a varying desired intensity of cleaning in accordance with the generated state matrix,
- wherein the cleaning intensity increases as a degree of contamination rises, and the cleaning intensity decreases as a degree of contamination falls.
A process for cleaning a transport belt of a machine for at least one of manufacturing and processing a material web with at least one cleaning device, the process comprising:
- detecting contamination of the transport belt with at least one sensor;
- generating a state matrix which contains location coordinates of the detected contamination;
- and
- at least one of controlling and regulating the at least one cleaning device for cleaning over at least a width of the transport belt with a varying desired intensity of cleaning in accordance with the generated state matrix, and
- one of controlling and regulating the intensity of cleaning in accordance with a degree of contamination being determined from an equation:
- p(.DELTA.)=A.multidot.arctan.DELTA.+B,
- where p represents pressure, .DELTA. represents the degree of contamination, A+B represents a maximum pressure, and B represents a minimum pressure that is greater than or equal to 0.
A process for cleaning a transport belt of a machine to manufacture a material web, comprising:
- detecting contamination of the transport belt with at least one sensor;
- generating a state matrix which contains the location coordinates of the detected contamination;
- cleaning the transport belt across a total width of the transport belt with a cleaning device in accordance with the generated state matrix;
- and
- varying intensity of the cleaning over the total width of the transport belt, based upon the generated state matrix.
