The high pressure sluice feeder has a conical rotor mounted in a housing having a complementary conical interior. The rotor has a plurality of trough-going pockets arranged offset to each other in the rotor. The housing has ports distributed evenly around a circumference of the housing and exposed to the pockets during rotation of the rotor. A conical exterior surface of the rotor or the conical interior surface of the housing is equipped with a flush-out groove. The groove catches any abrasive particles caught between the complementary conical surfaces of the rotor and housing. The abrasive particles are flushed out towards the trough-going pockets of the rotor when one end of the groove is pressurized by either one neighboring trough-going pocket or a sealing liquid supply to a gable end of the rotor/housing.

A shoe pressfor applying pressure to a fibrous web W has a concave press shoeadapted to be juxtaposed with a backing member. A plurality of articulated hydraulic actuatorsare spaced apart in the cross-machine direction along the press shoeto press the shoe toward a backing member. The actuators have first and second cylinders and a piston. The pistons and the cylinders have spherical surfaces adapted to be able to cooperate with each other.

Shoe press

A press roll intended, together with a press shoe, to cooperate with a counter roll to form a press with long nip for paper or board machines, said press roll comprising two end walls, a jacket, the edge portions of which are secured by an elastic clamping ring to peripheral parts of the end walls, a form-stable clamping ring being screwed to the inner side of the end-wall part to clamp the outwardly expandable elastic clamping ring so that the edge portion of the jacket is clamped firmly against a counter-support member. According to the invention each end wall includes guide means to provide a guided engagement relationship between the form-stable clamping ring and the end-wall part. The guide means includes one axially concentric guide groove in the form-stable clamping ring and an axial, concentric guide flange in the end-wall part for cooperation with the guide groove, the guide groove defining radially externally a radial clamping surface disposed opposite a corresponding clamping surface of the end-wall part for cooperating clamping of the elastic clamping ring.

A top roll lifting arrangement for a roll press in a press section of a papermaking or boardmaking machine where the roll press includes a top roll and a bottom roll, the rolls being opposed and parallel and having main axes defining a press plane and forming between them a press nip. The press has a framework including two side frames in parallel relationship to each other, one located on the drive side of the machine and the other one on the tender side of the machine. Each side frame has a first vertical column upstream of the press nip and a second vertical column downstream of the press nip. The upper roll is carried by a brackets extending between the upstream and downstream vertical columns. The brackets have bevelled ends that co-operate with inclined surfaces of plate members on the vertical columns.

Top roll lifting arrangement for a press in a papermaking or boardmaking

In a compact frame assembly for a press having a top roll (5) and a bottom roll (4), the ends of which are supported in bearing housing members, each bearing housing member (16) for the bottom roll (4) has a head portion (53) of substantially T-shaped cross section, and each bearing housing member (17) for the top roll (5) has a foot portion (54) of inverted substantially T-shaped cross section. The foot portion stands on the head portion, and two sturdy channel bars (34, 35) are pivotally mounted laterally of the head portion and the foot portion, one on each side. The channel bars may be swung into clamping engagement with the cross bars (55) of the two tees to connect the head portion (53) to the foot portion (54). One of the rolls may be a shoe type press roll (4) having a flexible roll shell (11), and preferably the bearing housing members (16) of that roll have the basic shape of circular disks of a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the flexible shell (11) to facilitate an exchange of the flexible shell.
