Abstract: A clamp assembly for attaching a grip to a bike handlebar is provided. The clamp assembly includes an insertion member that is inserted between the grip and the bike handlebar and has an outer end formed with a jaw structure. A clamping member is disposed into and coupled with the jaw structure. The clamping member is of a C-shaped structure having a first end and a second end that face and correspond to each other and spaced by a spacing distance. With the clamping member being disposed into and coupled with the jaw structure of the insertion member, a fastening member is applied to reduce and shrink the spacing distance between the first end and the second end of the clamping member.

Abstract: The arrangement is for the adjustment of wear of the position of the rotor of a sluice feeder within a feed casing. The rotor has the form of a truncated cone and the play between the rotor and the surrounding casing is adjusted depending on the wear between the rotor and the casing through the rotor being axially displaced a predetermined displacement. A complete driving unit, motor and gear box are suspended on the journal of the rotor. The driving unit receives support from a torque support in the form of a beam fixed in the casing. The complete driving unit accompanies the rotor shaft during adjustment and makes contact with the torque-absorbing beam through sliding bearing supports.

Abstract: A screen dram for the dewatering and/or washing of cellulose pulp, comprises a first cylinder (2) made from non-stainless material, which is rotatable about its axis (5); a cylindrical screen plate (6) arranged coaxially on the outside of the first cylinder, but at a distance from it, and between the screen plate and the first cylinder an annular chamber (7) which can receive liquid which has passed through the screen plate, which chamber contains passages (26) which extend in the axial direction towards one or both ends of the drum for the withdrawal of the screen liquid. The chamber (7) is lined with stainless steel (8) in the form of one or more cylindrical plate sections (8a, 8b . . . 8n). These, by virtue of shrink joints, can be joined to and bear in seal-tight arrangement against the cylindrical casing of the first cylinder. Preferably, the stainless steel contains at least 5% molybdenum.

Abstract: A pump for pumping pulp, comprising a first impeller (12) for pumping the pulp in fluidized state, and a gas evacuation pump (23) of liquid ring type comprising a pump housing (24) with a chamber (25) and a second impeller (26) rotating therein for evacuating gas collecting in front of said first impeller (12) via a system of channels (20, 21, 22), said impellets (12, 26) being mounted on the same shaft (4) for common rotation. According to the invention the chamber (24) of the gas evacuation pump (23) containing a rotating liquid ring (29) is defined circumferentially by an element (40) which is movable in relation to the second impeller (26) and the axis of rotation (5) thereof by means of an actuator (48, 50, 51), said element (40) being adjustable by the actuator (48, 50, 51) in three different operating positions dependent on the operating conditions prevailing for the pump.

Abstract: An apparatus for fluidizing, degassing and pumping a suspension of fibrous cellulose material is described which comprises a housing, a fluidizing rotor and an impeller of radial type, said housing having a cylindrical portion for the rotor, a portion for the impeller which is radially enlarged in relation to the cylindrical portion, a wall closing one end of the housing and a shaft rigidly connected to the impeller, an axial inlet for suspension being disposed at the cylindrical portion, and a radial outlet for suspension at the radially enlarged portion.

Abstract: Mechanical cellulosic fibrous material pulp (mechanical pulp to produce paper products) having lower freeness, and enhanced light scattering properties, tensile and tear strengths, for a given energy input, is produced by force feeding a refiner. Using a progressive compacting plugscrew, cellulosic material (e.g. wood chips) is fed to the refiner inlet at a rate greater than the transporting capacity of the refiner (e.g. about 10-40% greater). The refiner preferably is a low frequency conical refiner with steam removal at the grinding area between the conical refiner elements. The production rate is regulated by sensing the axial force on the refiner rotor and controlling the spacing between the refiner elements in response to the sensed axial force. The screw has a compaction ratio of at least 3/1 for wood chips and 6/1 for pulp, and is rotated at about 6-10% the speed of rotation of the refiner rotor.
