Abstract
A system for handling a ragger formed in a pulper process has a cutting device with at least one movable knife for severing the ragger. A sensor system is configured to detect operating data in relation to the cutting device. A processor module is configured to determine implementation instructions for a cutting operation and/or state information in relation to the cutting device based on the operating data detected by the sensor system.
Claims15
A system for handling a ragger in a pulper process, the system comprising:
- a cutting device with at least one movable knife which is configured to sever the ragger;
- a sensor system configured to detect measurement data indicative of a ragger rope thickness of the ragger or measurement data indicative of whether or not the ragger has been severed completely by said movable knife;
- and
- a cutting device control module configured to perform at least one of the following:
- adjust a speed of said at least one movable knife based on the ragger rope thickness or to execute at least one repeated cut when said sensor system detects that the ragger has not been severed completely by said movable knife.
A system for handling a ragger in a pulper process, the system comprising:
- a cutting device with at least one movable knife which is configured to sever the ragger;
- a sensor system configured to detect operating data in relation to said cutting device;
- and
- a processor module configured to determine at least one of implementation instructions for a cutting operation or state information in relation to said cutting device based on the operating data.
A method for handling a ragger formed in a pulper process, the method comprising:
- providing a sensor system configured to acquire measurement data relative to the ragger being formed in the pulper process;
- operating a cutting device with a movable knife for severing the ragger in accordance with any one of the following process sequences:
- A) detecting, by the sensor system, measurement data indicative of a ragger rope thickness of the ragger;
- and controlling the movable knife for severing the ragger and adjusting a speed of the movable knife based on the ragger rope thickness;
- B) implementing a first cutting operation with the movable knife for severing the ragger;
- detecting, with the sensor system, measurement data indicative of whether the ragger has been severed completely by the movable knife during the first cutting operation;
- and, when the sensor system detects that the ragger has not been severed completely by the movable knife during the first cutting operation, implementing at least one repeated cut;
- C) detecting, by the sensor system, a pressure with which the cutting device for severing the ragger is being pressurized;
- and determining, by an analyzing module, a wear state of the knife based on the pressure detected by the sensor system;
- or
- D) detecting, by the sensor system, operating data in relation to the cutting device for severing the ragger;
- and determining at least one of implementation instructions for a cutting operation or state information in relation to the cutting device based on the operating data.
