Abstract:
The present invention relates to a washing apparatus (2) for washing of cellulose pulp, comprising a rotatable drum (4), a stationary support (6), a discharge device (8) that has an outlet orifice (9), a casing that surround the drum and that forms a longitudinal discharge opening (10) and a conveyer worm (12) arranged below the outlet orifice for reception and removal of washed pulp. The conveyer worm (12) is movably arranged relatively the support (6) between a first position (P1), in which the conveyer worm receives washed pulp during operation, and a second position (P2), in which the outlet orifice (9) is exposed and access to the drum (4) via the outlet orifice is possible for carrying out service, maintenance and inspection of the washing apparatus (2).
Abstract:
A vat paper machine is disclosed, the machine including a cylinder-vat unit having a rotatable cylinder mold, a vat and a headbox for providing a continuous supply of stock to the vat. The vat has a special wall structure and is arranged upstream of the cylinder mold in such a manner that the wire gauze covered cylinder mold is brought into contact with stock in the vat to form a web by draining water from the stock through the wire gauze covered surface of the mold. An outer wire is also provided which runs in a loop over a breast roll, through the vat at the wall structure thereof and then over and around a portion of the circumference of the cylinder mold. The wall structure comprises an endless liquid-impervious belt forming an endless loop located on the inner side of the loop defined by the outer wire. The belt and the outer wire run together in close surface contact with each other at least within the area between the breast roll and the cylinder mold, whereby the liquid-impervious belt forms a liquid barrier for the stock in the vat.
Abstract:
A paper making machine including a hollow cylinder rotatable in a predetermined direction having a porous surface, a mesh wrapped around the cylinder, an outer band partially surrounding the cylinder and together with the mesh forming an inlet aperture, a nozzle for spraying suspended matter into the aperture, and a housing formed with a plurality of chambers disposed and open on a side facing the cylinder surrounded by the outer band, successive chambers in the direction of operative rotation of the cylinder being increasingly pressurized, the entire inner surface of the cylinder being subjected to a uniform pressure smaller than the pressure exerted on the part thereof surrounded by the outer band.
Abstract:
The lip at the outlet of the nozzle duct is adjustable via an adjusting mechanism which includes a longitudinal adjusting rod disposed parallel to the pivot axis of the lip and a number of connecting rods pivotally connected at each respective end to the adjusting rod and the lip. Axial movement of the adjusting rod causes the lip to move relative to a permeable element on a suction roll. The movement of the lip is carried out in a curvilinear relation with respect to the axial movement of the adjusting rod.
Abstract:
A wet paper producing apparatus has a tank divided into two chambers by a partition wall. A rotary suction drum is mounted in the first chamber and a doctor knife supporting box having a doctor knife at the upper end thereof is mounted in the second chamber. A lip board is mounted on the partition wall so as to abut on the periphery of the suction drum below the doctor knife for defining a paper material suction area on the suction drum. A doctor knife adjustment system is connected to the supporting box and extends by a link outside the second chamber which pivots the supporting box to adjust the distance between the knife and the periphery of the suction drum. Another adjustment system is connected to the supporting box and extends outside the second chamber to adjust the supporting box around another pivot towards and away from the suction drum and to adjust the angle of the doctor knife with respect to the suction drum. A lip board adjustment system is provided to adjust the distance between the lip board and the doctor knife.
Abstract:
A cylinder-type papermaking machine for forming a paper web such as grades of board including a pressure headbox on the uprunning side of the porous cylinder having a plurality of flexible upstream anchored trailing self-positionable members in the headbox with the headbox having a lower slice wall, an upper slice wall, and a forming zone roof member extending from the upper slice wall along the uprunning side of the cylinder. The forming zone roof member is flexible and tapers in thickness in the downstream direction. Hinges and jacks operate to adjust the positioning of the upper slice wall as well as the curvature of the forming zone roof member.
Abstract:
To provide a sheet former capable of suitably regulating the thickness of a sheet forming body in a width direction in response to factors changing with time. A sheet former includes at least one vessel which stores slurry as a raw material, a wire cylinder immersed in the slurry inside the vessel and making sheets from solid components in the slurry while being rotated, and a sheet-forming amount regulator which regulates an amount of the solid components for making sheets by the wire cylinder in a width direction in accordance with a thickness of a sheet forming body in the approximately width direction formed for making sheets by the wire cylinder.

Abstract:
“Products made from a process for increasing the tactile properties of a base web without adversely affecting the strength of the web is disclosed. In general, the process includes the steps of placing a base web in between a first moving conveyor and a second moving conveyor. The conveyors are then wrapped around a shear inducing roll which creates shear forces that act upon the base web. The shear forces disrupt the web increasing the softness and decreasing the stiffness of the web. The shear inducing roll typically has a relatively small diameter. In some applications, more than one shear inducing roll may be incorporated into the system.”
Abstract:
Paper products, such as wiping products, are disclosed that have a fabric-imprinted pattern in combination with a crepe pattern. In producing paper products according to the invention, a base web containing pulp fibers is formed. Once the base web is substantially dry, the web is creped to form a first pattern. The creped web is then placed between two moving conveyors and guided around one or more compression inducing elements. As the web is guided around the compression inducing element in between the two conveyors, shear forces and compressive forces are imparted to the web that form a fabric-imprinted pattern superimposed on the crepe pattern. In one embodiment, the fabric-imprinted pattern comprises high density troughs.
