摘要:
A vacuum control system and method for dewatering felts or fabrics on a papermaking machine including a suction pipe and a centrifugal exhauster connected to the suction pipe to supply a variable vacuum level. The fabric is passed over a slot in the suction pipe so that suction applied therethrough will dewater the fabric. A variable drive device is connected to the centrifugal exhauster for its operation with the variable drive device being responsive to an increase in the vacuum level in the suction pipe as fabric permeability decreases to correspondingly increase the speed of the centrifugal exhauster so as to increase the vacuum level in the suction pipe as a function of the decrease in felt permeability.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for filtering contaminating particles from a liquid/particle mixture. A hollow tank is provided having a peripheral side wall and top and bottom ends. An inlet opening is in the wall adjacent the top adapted to be connected to a source of the liquid/particle mixture. An outlet opening is in the side wall spaced from the inlet opening and intermediate the top and bottom of the tank. A sealable drainage opening is at the lower end of the tank. A filter is mounted in the tank essentially perpendicular to the inlet opening and around a substantial portion of the periphery of the tank. The mounted filter is open at both ends and has filtering apertures in its side. The inlet opening is positioned so that the mixture is introduced in one open end of the filter. Filtered liquid from the mixture passes through the apertures in the side and through the outlet opening and collected portions can be dumped from the outer end through the drainage opening when it is unsealed. The tank and the filter dimensions are predetermined so that the mixture from the fluid source passes through the inlet opening and into contact with the filter with a desired velocity and the separation of the liquid and particles in the tank is efficiently accomplished without significant clogging of the filter apertures by particles during the filtering operation.

A bowed roll lubrication system for a bowed roll of the type having an elongated shaft and a plurality of spools disposed about the shaft for rotation. A plurality of ball bearings are disposed along the shaft and each of the bearings has an inner race in contact with the shaft and an outer race in contact with one of the spools. A through passageway extends between the races and cooperates with the races in defining a ball chamber. The lubricant system is designed to provide lubricant to the interior of the ball chambers and includes a lubricant reservoir and a lubricant line extending between the reservoir and the interior of the roll so that the lubricant may be interjected to the interior of the roll at a predetermined location. The interjected lubricant is then directed through the ball chambers in a desired pattern.

The piston arrangement includes one or more pistons, each propelled by a pneumatic actuator. Alternately, an accumulator-type actuator may be used, wherein compressed gas is inputted directly into the backflushing fluid chamber to reverse fluid flow through the filter arrangement.

A strainer device is disclosed for continuously separating liquids from a solid/liquid mixture, the strainer including a screen receiving said solid/liquid mixture and a container under reduced pressure disposed under the screen to collect the strained liquid. High pressure fluid is used to roll the solids off the screen to insure that the solids do not plug the screen. If recycled water is used, a spring-loaded nozzle is also provided which may be purged. The device may also be used for thickening a solid liquid mixture. Preferably an angled or conical screen is used.

A screen filter device for removing solid particles from a liquid is disclosed. The device includes a spray or shower for cleaning the filter media. In operation, a first liquid containing particulate matter flows over the filter media having an opening formed therein. Spray nozzles are arranged with respect to the filter media to impinge cleansing liquid on the surface of the filter media over which the first liquid flows. The cleansing liquid carries particulate matter continuously and in a spiral fashion towards the opening within the filter media.

The apparatus is a washer, thickener and classifier for recovering solids from liquids including a truncated conical screen with walls typically sixty degrees from the horizontal and formed of filter media. Stock sprayer assemblies rotate about a longitudinal axis of said conical screen and direct stock, particularly deink paper stock, onto the walls of the conical screen. Wash fluid sprayer assemblies, including high impact shower nozzles, direct wash fluid onto the stock on the walls of the conical screen. The wash fluid cleans the stock, with the unwanted solids and contaminants passing through the conical screen to the discharge pipes. The wash fluid similarly washes the cleaned stock through the exit formed at the truncated portion formed at the apex of the conical screen for subsequent processing.
摘要:
A filter backflushing system including either a pneumatically-driven piston or pneumatic accumulator for propelling a supply of a filtered backflushing fluid, contained in a backflushing fluid chamber, in a reverse direction through a filter element. The filter backflushing system provides a high intensity, substantially instantaneous, constant pressure backflushing flow which effectively removes clogging contaminants from the filter element.
摘要:
A light assembly for generating a narrow light beam of relatively uniform intensity for use in association with a light sensor for sensing variations in light intensity; the assembly includes a plurality of standard size aperture light bulbs positioned in a staggered arrangement in a housing with light extender members comprising alternating sheets of light transmissive material joined to form a common surface to generate the light beam.
摘要:
A constant vacuum felt dewatering system including first and second suction pipes with a slot in each pipe. A felt is positioned to pass over the slots of the pipes. A liquid ring pump is connected by conduits to the first and second suction pipes. Drive structure is provided to operate the liquid ring pump and apply suction to the first and second suction pipes. The felt is advanced over the pipes whereupon suction is applied thereto to dewater the felt. Controls are responsive to change in felt conditions to vary the dwell time of the felt with respect to the slots in order to maintain a substantially constant vacuum.
