Abstract:
The present invention concerns an apparatus for receiving and feeding into a chipper wood to be chipped, said apparatus comprising a feed conveyor (12) receiving log bundles (1'), a tumbling drum (13) breaking the bundles, and a receiving conveyor (7'). The feed conveyor (12) is speed-controlled according to the position information of a log bundle (1'), and the speed of rotation of the tumbling d rum (13) is adjusted depending on the amount of wood discharged from the drum. The position information of the log bundle is received for example from the torque moment or input power of the drives of the drum. Thereby the speed of the feed conveyor, respectively the rotation speed of the drum, is set to slow down as a result of the increasing toque moment or input power of the drum, respectively to speed up as a result of the decreasing torque moment or input power.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for fixing a knife in wood chipper apparatuses over the whole knife length between two steady surfaces. The fixing force is developed by means of a roller chain located between two counter surfaces and reversing its direction at each of its couplings, said roller chain having stationary end rollers and intermediate roller at the couplings, said intermediate rollers rolling during the press movement in the longitudinal direction of the chain. An external force is applied to the roller chain, said force changing its direction at the touching points of the rollers, so that the force applied to the roller chain affects to multiple points of the counter surfaces thus forming a prominent total pressing force.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is an apparatus for storage of wood chips in a curved-top stockpile (3) the apparatus consisting of a central tower (5’), which supports a conveyor for loading the chips and beam-like turning pile composer (6’), and a unloading beam (13’, 13’’) supported on ground level on the lower part (35) of the tower as well as on supporting wheels (29, 44, 45) and furnished with unloading devices (28) for transporting the wood chips towards the center (4) of the apparatus. The central tower is furnished at one side with a tubular ex-central opening, and the tower occupies a central tube for delivering the wood chips either upwards or downwards from the opening, whereby a service and passage space is formed between the mantle of the central tower and the transport tube.
Abstract:
The invention relates to method of supporting a unloading conveyor bridge (2 ) extending substantially horizontally at the bottom level of a bulk material pile storage (1), implemented as supports in the area of the bridge ends as well as in at least one point therebetween. At least one of the supports is made positionally adjustable in the vertical direction and to keep the support force substantially constant, using spring loading, fluid pressure loading or gravity loading, for example.
Abstract:
An apparatus for chipping or crushing, with a high speed of rotation and mass inertial moment, comprising a chipping disc or a rotor, a short circuit motor and a frequency converter connected to the current circuit of the motor. The frequency converter is arranged to control the frequency of the motor current based on data of the speed of rotation of the chipping disc.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for clamping a knife (1) of a disc chipper, wherein the knife (1) is pressed from the knife disc (4) via knife clamp (2', 23) against a wear plate (3) in a diagonal position (α) with respect to the plane of the knife disc with a compressive force (N) substantially parallel with the axis of the knife disc. According to the invention, the compensating force of the force directed to the knife clamp, caused by the diagonal position (α) of the knife and transversal to the compressive force (N) is exerted to the wear plate.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for manufacturing wear plates of a disc chipper, whereby the wear plate is provided with a wearing surface by sintering in a furnace at a temperature of 900 - 1000 °C. Selective portions of the wear plate are strengthened by selective quenching and hardening utilizing the temperature achieved in connection with sintering.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to method for separating loose bark from a flow of debarked wood logs are conveyed substantially in the direction of their longitudinal axis along a substantially horizontal conveyor track. During their travel, the logs are forced into unidirectional accelerating rotation that simultaneously moves the logs laterally. An accelerating rotary motion is advantageously imparted to the logs on a rolling ramp adapted between two conveyors operating at different height levels.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for setting the conditions in the feed chute of a disc chipper according to the size of wood to be chipped. The position of the chipping anvil at the outlet end of the chute is changed in a plane which is essentially parallel to the plane of the knife disc in regard to a diagonal of the knife disc parallel to the plane of the anvil so that the inclination of the chipping plane of the anvil towards the blade disk remains substantially unchanged. Furthermore, the position of the feed chute bottom in the chipper may be adjusted to comply with the changed position of the chipping plane, where necessary.
Abstract:
A knife system of a disc chipper, the knife (10) in said system being clamped to its operation position between a wear plate and a press block (13). The wear plate (3) is supported to the knife disc (1) adjustably for the inclination thereof with respect to the surface of the knife disc. The adjustability is provided by means of a hinge strip (8) located in the area of the adjacent knife (10) and an adjustment strip (9) located at the next chip opening. A convergent space (17) is provided for the adjustment strip (9"). The adjustment strip (9") is correspondingly wedge-shaped and has a position adjustable means (16).
