International Classification:
B66F 11/00, B27B 31/00, B27G 21/00, B23Q 16/00, B65G 47/26
US Classification:
4147463, 1442452, 144357, 198456
Abstract:
A method of positioning lumber in a given orientation in a handling apparatus having a base frame, a longitudinal transport assembly, and at least two gripper arm support platforms with a pair of gripper arms positioned on each of the support platforms. A work piece is gripped with the gripper arms without the work piece engaging the longitudinal transport assembly. The gripper arms are adjusted on at least one of the support platforms in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal transport assembly in order to selectively position the work piece. The work piece is then brought into engagement with the transport assembly and the gripper arms are released from the work piece.

Sealed Shower System For Rotary Vacuum Filter

US Patent:
5965017, Oct 12, 1999
Filed:
Jul 15, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/893058
Inventors:
Philip N. Nelson - Monroe LA
Ronnie Marsh - Monroe LA
Donald E. Haley - Monroe LA
David Tidwell - Monroe LA
Assignee:
Paper Inc. - Monroe LA
International Classification:
B01D 3306, B01D 3360, D21C 902, D21C 906
US Classification:
210217
Abstract:
A sealed shower system applies shower water to a pulp mat as it passes through a sealed chamber under a vacuum with an air supply that is externally regulated. The shower water forms a pond or film on the pulp mat. The amount of entrapped air is minimized through a downleg of a filter drum which results in maximum filtrate flow, an increased drainage rate, higher efficiency washing and a requirement for less shower water per pound of pulp. In addition, with less entrapped air in the filtrate, the length of the downleg can be reduced enabling lower building heights, smaller filtrate tanks and foam handling systems. The sealed shower system also forms part of a combined shower/hood structure that greatly reduces exhaust emissions.
