Abstract: A method for processing pulp in an apparatus for washing and dewatering pulp, and a system for controlling this apparatus, the apparatus comprising two rotatable press rolls (102, 104) having a permeable outer surface (106, 108), and a vat (114, 116, 118), the press rolls (102, 104) defining a press nip (112) between them. The processing is determined by a set of variable operating parameters, which are adjusted and/or maintained during operation in response to deviations of measured values of control parameters in relation to their respective predetermined threshold values. The variable operating parameters include rotation speed of the press rolls. The control parameters include vat pressure and/or linear load.

Abstract: A frame for a twin-wire press is disclosed including pairs of side members including upper and lower side members arranged on opposite sides of the press, between which upper and lower rolls are attached, a plurality of transverse beams arranged between the pairs of side members which themselves are sections of flat sheet metal and spacers for mutually releasably connecting the side members with the sheet metal being formed so that it permits a degree of curing in the vertical plane to facilitate access to the space between the upper and lower rolls. A method for exchanging wire in a twin-wire press of this type is also disclosed.

Abstract: Twin-wire presses are disclosed for dewatering fiber suspensions comprising endless upper and lower wires defining a dewatering space, upper and lower wire guides for guiding the wires obliquely towards the inlet end of the dewatering space, and upper and lower wedge-shaped seals extending from an inlet box towards the dewatering space inlet to create a seal in the tapering space between the wires and the fiber suspension entering the dewatering space. The inner surfaces of the wedge-shaped seals define a passage for the fiber suspension and the outer surfaces extend at an acute angle towards the inner surfaces so that at least part of the seals are sealed against the wires and the distance between the inner surfaces of the seals is substantially equal to the distance between the wires at the dewatering space inlet.

Abstract: Twin-wire presses for dewatering fiber suspensions are disclosed including upper and lower rolls and endless upper and lower wires running around the rolls, a pair of dewatering tables supporting the upper and lower wires and forming a dewatering space between them for initial pressing and dewatering of the fiber suspension, to form a fiber web between the wires, a roll engagement downstream of the watering tables, a final dewatering in a press frame, a press and lift arrangement for vertically adjusting the first dewatering table and a link system joined to the press frame and to an upper section of the first dewatering table which is movable from and against the second dewatering table by means of the press and lift arrangement thereby.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a twin-wire press (2) for dewatering of a fibre suspension, comprising lower and upper rolls (4, 6), an endless upper and lower wire that runs around the rolls and a first (8, 8?) and a second dewatering table, respectively, which forms a dewatering space (12) between the wires. AA roll arrangement (14) is provided in a press frame (16). A press and lift arrangement (18) is arranged to the first dewatering table 10 for vertically adjusting the first dewatering table. A link system (20) is arranged with a joint (22) at the press frame (16) and arranged with a joint (24) at an upper section of the first dewatering table, whereby the first dewatering table can be moved from and against the second dewatering table by movement by means of the press and lift arrangement (18).

Abstract: A gas burner in which a burner head is positioned within an inner pipe that is surrounded by an outer protective pipe. Fuel is delivered to the burner head through a fuel conduit positioned within the inner pipe, and combustion air is delivered through the inner pipe. The fuel conduit terminates short of the burner head and the wall of that conduit is provided with a plurality of holes. A further pipe surrounds at least the perforated part of the fuel conduit, and one end of the further pipe extends to the the burner head while the other end is sealed against the fuel conduit to form a mixing chamber between the outside of the fuel conduit and the inside of the further pipe. A second conduit is provided to conduct a given amount of air to the mixing chamber.

Abstract: A method of increasing the useful life of heating elements that consist essentially of molybdenum silicide and alloys thereof, wherein the heating elements operate at high temperatures in heat treatment processes and generally rest against the floor and/or the ceiling of a furnace. The heating elements contain aluminum to an extent sufficient to maintain a stable, slowly growing layer of aluminum oxide on the surfaces of the heating elements, and the heating elements are placed in direct abutment with an aluminum oxide brick material.

Abstract: A gas burner of the type with which a burner head (1) is placed in an inner pipe (2) which is surrounded by an outer protective pipe. Fuel is delivered to the burner head through a first conduit (3) placed within the inner pipe, and air of combustion is delivered through the inner pipe. The first conduit (3) terminates short of the burner head (1) and the barrel surface of said conduit (3) is provided with holes (12). A further pipe (13) surrounds at least the perforated part of said conduit (3) and one end (14) of the further pipe (13) extends to the burner head (1) whereas the other end (15) is sealed against the conduit (3) so as to form a mixing chamber between the outside of the conduit (3) and the inside of the further pipe (13).
