Patent JP-2005514535-A (JP)
IPC: D21C3/22
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: The method is for the manufacture of cooked cellulose pulp in which the starting material, preferably chips, undergoes a successive increase in temperature towards cooking temperature. This is done while the chips are first treated in a pre-treatment zone in which the main part, greater than 50%, of fresh white liquor necessary for the cooking stage is added, after which this alkali-rich treatment fluid is withdrawn and replaced to a major extent by black liquor. The alkali-rich treatment fluid that has been withdrawn after the pre-treatment stage is then added to the cooking stage, which is why the addition of fresh white liquor to the cooking stage is reduced to an equivalent amount. Maximal yield-enhancing effect is obtained using poly-sulphide-rich white liquor during the pre-treatment at a temperature in the interval 60±40° C. and retention time in the interval 2-60 minutes, preferably 2-10 minutes.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately decide the cleaning state of an image carrier.  <P>SOLUTION: In a state where the cleaning circumstances of the image carrier are excellent, a torque difference F made between a state where developer exists at a rubbing part with a blade on the image carrier and a state where the developer does not exist at the rubbing part with the blade on the image carrier becomes larger than a prescribed value. Meanwhile, in a state where the cleaning circumstances of the image carrier get worse, the torque difference F made between a state where the developer exists on the image carrier and a state where the developer does not exist on the image carrier becomes small. When the cleaning circumstances of the image carrier get worse further, the driving torque of a motor in the state where the developer exists on the image carrier becomes smaller than that in the state where the developer does not exist on the image carrier. A control part detects the driving torque for driving the image carrier for both of the state where the developer exists on the image carrier and the state where the developer does not exist thereon, and predicts the exchange time of the blade.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
