The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for removing a broken pulp web from a pulp dryer. The apparatus includes a maintenance platform arranged at the first or the second end of the pulp dryer, outside the walls of the pulp dryer; a device for shifting the maintenance platform in a substantially vertical direction to a desired height with respect to the pulp dryer, and an extraction device fixed to the edge of the maintenance platform facing the dryer for pulling a broken pulp web out of the pulp dryer.

A cleaning device in a paper or board machine, for cleaning a fabric therein, the fabric moving in a direction of movement. The device comprises a nozzle which directs a water shower or jet against the fabric which is to be cleaned, the nozzle including a first turning point, and wherein there is a first plane of the water shower or jet issuing from the nozzle. A plurality of water conduits which transport water to the nozzle. And, the nozzle being mounted so that the position thereof may be changed by turning the nozzle back and forth around the first turning point in the first plane, so as to change the direction of the water shower or jet discharged from the nozzle and so that the water shower is moved in a first linear movement.

A nozzle arrangement in a blow box of a paper machine, comprising one or several nozzles (22a, 22b) placed in connection with the blow box (20) or pipe, through which nozzles a blowing of air can be applied to a moving member in a paper machine placed in their proximity, such as a wire, drying cylinder, guide roll, felt, or the equivalent. The blow box (20) and its nozzles (20a, 20b) are at a certain operational safety distance (C) from the moving member. In connection with the nozzle slots of the nozzles (22a, 22b) or nozzle, a respective nozzle flap (24a, 24b) pivotable around a respective transverse hinge shaft (P) is hinged. The nozzle flaps (24a, 24b) respectively guide the blowing of air (F.sub.a, F.sub.b) to the desired object and if necessary maintain a required difference in pressure. The nozzle flaps (24a, 24b) are hinged in such a way that, in their normal operating position, the outer edge of the respective flap is at a distance considerably shorter than the required operational safety distance from the moving member (10, 12), but the nozzle flaps (24a, 24b) can pivot to the required safety distance when a paper clod or some other obstacle passes by.
