    摘要: An apparatus for conveying thick matter has a drive cylinder for receiving hydraulic fluid, a drive piston, which is arranged in the drive cylinder, a conveying cylinder for receiving thick matter, a conveying piston, which is arranged in the conveying cylinder, and a piston rod, which is fastened to the drive piston for coupling motion together with the conveying piston. The drive cylinder has a rod-side opening for applying pressure to a rod side of the drive piston by way of hydraulic fluid and a crown-side opening for applying pressure to a crown side of the drive piston facing away from the rod side by the hydraulic fluid. A drive pump is designed to generate a drive volume flow having a drive pressure of hydraulic fluid for moving the drive piston. A pump connection is designed for variable connection of the drive pump to the rod-side opening or the crown-side opening for the flow of hydraulic fluid. A sensor is designed for automatic detection of whether the pump connection is connected to the rod-side opening or the crown-side opening. A control unit controls the apparatus in a rod-side operating mode, when the rod-side pump connection is detected, and in a crown-side operating mode, when the crown-side pump connection is detected.

    摘要: A main object of the present invention is to disclose a piston rod sealing unit that solves the problems that have been mentioned from the prior art disclosures. The invention is a piston rod sealing system (0) with a sealing unit (9), for preventing leakage, of gas from a high-pressure chamber (4) to a low-pressure volume (6), and preventing leakage of a lubricant from said low-pressure volume (6) to said high-pressure chamber (4), along a piston rod (1) extending through said chambers (4, 6) said sealing unit (9) comprising, —a deformable gland (10,21,26) arranged for being pressed against said piston rod (1) by one or more compressing elements (15, 22, 27), —a lubricant (F) between the piston rod (1) and the gland (10, 21, 26), said sealing unit (9) arranged between, —a support structure (8) in the low-pressure volume (6) with a plane sliding surface (8a) facing towards said sealing unit (9), —and a wall (7) of said high-pressure chamber (4), —a plane seal (16) constituting a seal between the sealing unit (9) and said wall (7), said plane seal (16) arranged in a groove (13b, 24a, 26e) in said sealing unit (9), said groove open towards said wall (7), or said plane seal (16) arranged in a groove in the wall (7), said groove open towards said sealing unit (9) wherein, —said sealing unit (9) having a surface area towards said wall (7) between said piston rod (1) and said plane seal (16) smaller than the sliding area between said sealing unit (9, 12b, 25a, 28a) and the plane sliding surface (8a), and —said sealing unit (9) being supported by said plane sliding surface (8a) on the low-pressure side, and said sealing unit (9) being in sliding contact with said wall (7) surface (7a), the length (L′) of said sealing unit (9) is less than the length (L) between the base structure (8) and the wall (7) allowing transverse movement of the sealing unit (9) along the sliding surfaces (7a, 8a).
