Abstract: A washer for washing and dewatering cellulose pulp is disclosed, comprising a rotary drum with a plurality of external compartments on the drum defined by axial compartment walls distributed along the circumference of the drum, a stationary cylindrical casing enclosing the drum, defining a ring-shaped space between the casing and the drum, and longitudinal seals in the axial direction of the drum diving the ring-shaped space into a forming zone for forming the pulp, at least one washing zone for washing the pulp at an overpressure, and a discharge zone, and where the longitudinal axial seals are attached to positioning cylinders for adjusting the radial position of the seals, and the longitudinal seal has an articulated connection with the positioning cylinders to make possible oblique positioning of the seal.

Abstract: A washing arrangement for washing and dewatering of cellulose pulp is disclosed, comprising a rotatable drum having a plurality of outer compartments defined by axial compartment walls distributed along the circumference of the drum, a stationary cylindrical casing that encloses the drum, whereby an annular space is defined between the casing and the drum and longitudinal seals extending in the axial direction of the drum divide the annular space into zones for forming, washing and discharge of the pulp. The function of the longitudinal seals is optimized by units for seal adjustment having force sensors for measuring a force acting on one of the longitudinal seals in the direction from the drum, and positioners for automatically moving the longitudinal seal substantially in the radial direction of the drum according to a predetermined pattern based on the measured force.
