| 20090078382 | Arrangement and Method for Treatment of Cellulose Pulp Involving Means for Seal Adjustment - A washing arrangement for washing and dewatering of cellulose pulp is disclosed, comprising a rotatable drum having a plurality of outer compartments defined by axial compartment walls distributed along the circumference of the drum, a stationary cylindrical casing that encloses the drum, whereby an annular space is defined between the casing and the drum and longitudinal seals extending in the axial direction of the drum divide the annular space into zones for forming, washing and discharge of the pulp. The function of the longitudinal seals is optimized by units for seal adjustment having force sensors for measuring a force acting on one of the longitudinal seals in the direction from the drum, and positioners for automatically moving the longitudinal seal substantially in the radial direction of the drum according to a predetermined pattern based on the measured force. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090101298 | Arrangement for the treatment of cellulose pulp - A washing arrangement for washing and dewatering cellulose pulp is disclosed, comprising at least one rotary cylindrical element, against which the pulp is dewatered, and where a seal is located in an end seal holder, so that the seal has a contact surface against the rotary cylindrical element and an application surface placed against an applicator located in a groove in the end seal holder, where the seal has a longitudinal extension, which corresponds to either the entire or at least a greater part of the circumference of the cylindrical element, and is intended to seal against the end of the cylindrical element, and where the seal is a polymer ledge provided with an arming element. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090120602 | Roll Body for a Press Roll - A press roll for washing pulp is disclosed, comprising a central drum and mantle section to which at least one perforated roll plate is attached, comprising a plurality of first and second chambers between the central drum and the roll plate. The chambers of each pair are separated from each other, the first chamber includes at least one inlet defining a radial flow path and the second chamber comprising at least one inlet defining a tangential flow path. At one end of the press roll, the first chamber includes a discharge and the second chamber is closed, and at the other end of the press roll, the second chamber includes an outlet and the first chamber is closed. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100243185 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF PULP - Washing apparatus as well as methods for washing and dewatering a cellulose pulp are disclosed comprising a rotary drum with outer compartments for pulp washing, and a stationary casing surrounding the drum to define an annular space between the casing and the drum which is divided into zones by longitudinal seals. The function of the seals is optimized by a force measurement device for measuring forces acting on the longitudinal seal for measuring a biasing force of a spring package in the measurement device and for measurement of a force acting on a load transmission shaft of the device as well as an extractor for extracting a force acting against the seal in a direction away from the drum. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100269997 | APPARATUS FOR WASHING AND DEWATERING PULP - Apparatus for washing and dewatering pulp including a pair of rotatable press rolls with a permeable outer surface in a casing including a vat in which the press rolls are installed is provided. A gap is provided between the vat and the press rolls as well as means for feeding the pulp into the gap between the rolls and the vat includes a first segment partially enclosing the first roll and a second segment partially enclosing the second roll, and casing members for each segment are pivotable about axes of rotation to open and close the casing, and the distance between the axes of rotation is less than the sum of the outer diameter of the two press rolls. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100294708 | APPARATUS FOR WASHING AND DEWATERING PULP - Apparatus for washing and dewatering pulp comprising rotatable press rolls including permeable outer surfaces and a casing comprising a vat in which the rolls are installed are disclosed. A feed for feeding the pulp through the gap between the vat and the outer surfaces of the press rolls is provided and the vat includes a vat segment providing at least one compartment between the vat segment and the casing, the at least one compartment extending along the longitudinal extension of one of the first and second rotatable press rolls and a pressure device to maintain the pressure in the at least one compartment corresponding to the pressure in the gap. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110017646 | Apparatus For Washing And Dewatering Pulp - Apparatus for washing and dewatering pump comprising a pair of rotatable press rolls with permeable outer surfaces, a casing comprising a vat in which the rolls are installed, and a feed for feeding the pulp to the gap formed between the vat and the press roll is disclosed. The vat includes a first side vat segment partially enclosing the first press roll and a second side vat segment partially enclosing the second press roll and casing members for each of the vat segments, the first casing member being pivotable about an axis of rotation and between closed and open positions, pulp distribution devices for distributing pulp onto the press rolls, at least one of the pulp distribution devices being mounted on the casing member whereby it is moved away from the press roll together with the casing member when it is opened. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110042026 | DISTRIBUTION DEVICE FOR FEEDING OF CELLULOSE PULP - A device is provided for distribution of 2-13% cellulose pulp to a movable processing surface in a pulp processing device to form a pulp web thereon. An inlet box has an inlet and an outlet defined therein. A rotatable distribution means is arranged for distributing pulp along an entire length of the outlet. The distribution means is placed so that a first distance (a | 02-24-2011 |
