Patent number: 8241025Abstract: An apparatus for scattering fibrous material, e.g., chips, the apparatus serving to spread chips using either a throw or air-jet spreading method to form a mat (3) of chips onto a moving band conveyor (4) or the like, whereby the scattering process avails a gas flow, such as air flow, for instance. The apparatus includes a scattering chamber mounted above the band conveyor or the like. In order to prevent lateral turbulence, the volume of the scattering chamber's length wherein the major portion of the material being scattered falls onto the band conveyor or the like is at least partially divided into smaller subspaces adjacent to each other in the cross-machine direction by substantially thin plate-like elements (9) set apart from each other in a cross-machine direction at a spacing substantially larger than the particle size of the material being scattered.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Dieffenbacher Panelboard OyInventor: Ari Mannikko

Patent number: 8122620Abstract: A screening, crushing or mixing bucket is formed into a bucket of an excavating machine or bucket loader. The bucket comprises a bottom plate, side walls, and at the back of the bucket working drums rotatable about their shafts, which screen, crush or mix the material in the bucket as they rotate and at the same time deliver screened, crushed or mixed material out of the bucket, between or through the working drums. In the bucket are casings for the power transmission and bearings of the working drums. The casings are limited by frame plates to which the bearing housings of the drums are attachable. On the frame plate and/or on the inner side of the inner wall is fixed a mudguard, which extends between the shafts of the working drums, next to the lead-throughs of the shafts, and the mudguard comprises cut-outs for receiving the shafts of the working drums.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Allu Finland OYInventors: Ari Männikkö, Joonas Eloranta, Anatoli Lappalainen

Patent number: 6900397Abstract: Method and system for the weighing of sheets (6) of wood material on a sheet forming line, on which line the sheets are carried on a conveyor from a sheet forming apparatus and cooled down in a cooling turn gear comprising a cooling wheel (3) provided with radial supporters (5). The sheets (6) are weighed using a weighing system (8) which has been fitted in the cooling turn gear and which weights the sheets (6) when they are turned to an upright position or at least to a nearly upright position. The invention makes it possible to leave out the conveyor weight meter from the press line, thus allowing the press line to be made shorter. The weighing accuracy is substantially better than in a conventional conveyor weight meter solution because only the sheet itself is weighed instead of weighing the relatively heavy conveyor together with the light sheets on it.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2001Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: Metso Panelboard OYInventor: Ari Mannikko
