Abstract:
A method to control a manufacturing process for cellulose, pulp or similar by measuring the bulk density of the chips supplied to the process. A representative volume of the supplied chips are sampled and supplied to a measuring method, during which the sampled volume is measured as to the dimensions of the chips contained in the volume, the chip bulk density being possibly calculated by means of the measured values. The thus calculated chip bulk density is used to control the forthcoming chip treatment in the process.
Abstract:
An arrangement in wood chippers of the kind which includes a rotatable body, such as a disc, on which knives (12) are secured with the aid of knive holders (10). Mounted adjacent the knives and the knive holders are wear plates (24) which form a log guide surface which functions to guide the ends of a log to be chipped in a given relationship with the knive engaging the end of the log. When seen in the rotational direction of the chipper disc, the rear ends of the wear plates (24) are fastened to the chipper disc with the aid of means which enable the torsion of the wear plates to be changed. This torsion adjustment means includes camming devices (26) which abut the undersurface of the wear plate and which can be displaced in the radial direction of the disc. The rear ends of the wear plates are secured to the disc by means of fastener devices (50) which can be relieved of load in a manner such as to enable the camming devices (26) to be displaced relative to the wear plate (24) when no load acts thereon. On the other hand, the wear plates and camming devices are locked in their set positions when the fastening devices (50) are in a loaded state.
Abstract:
A knife for disk type chip cutter machines with a circular rotatable cutter disk (10) on its first axial side being provided with several knives running from the disk centre to its periphery. An opening (14) is provided in the disk in connection with each knife. The opening (14) has a chip guiding surface to guide separated chips to the other axial cutter disk side. The knife includes a knife carrier, on which the knife is fixed between a first carrier part (18) provided essentially in line with the first axial cutter disk surface and second carrier part (16) extending downwards in the opening from said cutter disk surface into the cutter disk inside and being a part of the chip guiding device. The knife (12) is on its side facing the other carrier part provided with a chip breaking surface (22) passing the other carrier part (16) into the opening and protecting said carrier part from wear in that the separated chips by means of the chip breaking surface are guided in a direction away from the carrier part.
