Abstract
A pulp transportation system is adapted for transporting a pulp among a pulp-supply machine and a plurality of forming machines, and includes a pump unit, a first pipe unit, a second pipe unit and a valve unit. The pump unit is adapted for urging the pulp to flow. The valve unit is operable to control flow of the pulp through the first pipe unit and the second pipe unit, such that the flow of the pulp is convertible between a pulp-supply state, in which the pulp flows out from the pulp supply machine into at least one of the forming machines, and a pulp-return state, in which the pulp flows out from at least one of the forming machines into the pulp supply machine.
Claims15
A pulp transportation system adapted for transporting a pulp among a pulp-supply machine and a plurality of forming machines, said pulp transportation system comprising:
- a pump unit adapted for urging the pulp to flow;
- a first pipe unit adapted for fluidly communicating with the forming machines, and including a plurality of first pulp pipes and a plurality of second pulp pipes that are adapted for the pulp to flow therethrough, said first pulp pipes being respectively connected to the forming machines, said second pulp pipes being respectively connected to the forming machines;
- a second pipe unit adapted for the pulp to flow therethrough and including
- a first pipe that is adapted for interconnecting a pulp-supply outlet of the pulp-supply machine and said pump unit,
- a second pipe that fluidly communicates said pump unit with said first pulp pipes of said first pipe unit,
- a third pipe that fluidly communicates said pump unit with said second pulp pipes of said first pipe unit, and
- a fourth pipe that is adapted for interconnecting a pulp-supply inlet of the pulp-supply machine and said third pipe;
- and
- a valve unit operable to control the flow of the pulp through each of said first pulp pipes of said first pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through each of said second pulp pipes of said first pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through said first pipe of said second pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through said second pipe of said second pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through said third pipe of said second pipe unit, and the flow of the pulp through said fourth pipe of said second pipe unit, such that the flow of the pulp is convertible between a pulp-supply state, in which the pulp flows out from the pulp supply machine into at least one of the forming machines, and a pulp-return state, in which the pulp flows out from at least one of the forming machines into the pulp supply machine.
A pulp transportation system adapted for transporting a pulp between a pulp-supply machine and at least one forming machine, said pulp transportation system comprising:
- a pump unit adapted for urging the pulp to flow;
- at least one first pipe unit including
- a first pulp pipe that is connected to a forming opening of the at least one forming machine, and
- a second pulp pipe that is connected to said first pulp pipe;
- a second pipe unit adapted for the pulp to flow therethrough and including
- a first pipe that is adapted for interconnecting a pulp-supply outlet of the pulp-supply machine and said pump unit,
- a second pipe that fluidly communicates said pump unit with said first pulp pipe of said at least one first pipe unit,
- a third pipe that fluidly communicates said pump unit with said second pulp pipe of said at least one first pipe unit, and
- a fourth pipe that is adapted for interconnecting a pulp-supply inlet of the pulp-supply machine and said third pipe;
- and
- a valve unit operable to control the flow of the pulp through said first pulp pipe of said at least one first pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through said second pulp pipe of said at least one first pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through said first pipe of said second pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through said second pipe of said second pipe unit, the flow of the pulp through said third pipe of said second pipe unit, and the flow of the pulp through said fourth pipe of said second pipe unit, such that the flow of the pulp is convertible between a pulp-supply state, in which the pulp flows out from the pulp supply machine into the at least one forming machine, and a pulp-return state, in which the pulp flows out from the at least one forming machine into the pulp supply machine.
