Abstract: A conveyor transports lightweight articles with a high degree of adaptability to the space it can occupy and the path along which the conveyor units can travel. The track of the conveyor has curving track sections connecting straight track sections having opposite transport directions and the individual conveyor unit comprises guide members that engage with stationary guides to prevent the article supporting member of the unit from tilting when passing straight as well as curving track sections. The article supporting members of the units are arranged between the main track and the stationary guides when the units are moving along the curving main track section. In particular, each unit may have first and second guiding members to prevent tilting of the article supporting member at curving and straight track sections, respectively, and both guiding members co-operate with their respective guides over a certain distance when the unit enters and leaves a curving track section.

Abstract: To maintain the purity or to clean the low consistency flow at a stock inlet, at a machine for the production of paper or cardboard, the low consistency flow is given an increased proportion of solid particles. As the ratio of solid particles is increased in the low consistency flow, the solid content of the high consistency flow is reduced, where the sum total of the increased solids in the low consistency flow equals the solid reduction in the high consistency flow. The mass of increased solids at a section in the low consistency flow matches the mass of reduced solids in this section of the high consistency flow. The shifts in the amounts of solids between the high and low consistency flows are varied by volume control between the two flows, and between the same section in the two flows. The solid particles are fibers, and preferably long fibers of wood or plastics, with a high cleaning action. The solids are added to the low consistency flow continuously or at intervals. An Independent claim is included for a stock inlet with a pulp density control in sections across the machine width, with a high consistency (1) and a low consistency (2) flow. At least one feed (3) opens into the low consistency flow (2) to deliver solid particles into the flow of suspension. Preferred Features: The low consistency flow (2) has a number of feeds in sections where each of the feeds (3.1) delivers solid particles. A feed system delivers solid particles to sections of the high consistency flow (1). Each feed (3,3.1) for the solid particles has a control valve (7) to set the volume of delivered solids.
