Abstract:
A filtration apparatus which has a filtration chamber, and the filtration chamber has a fluid inlet, a filtered fluid outlet, a residue outlet, and a filtering element. The filtering element is situated between the fluid inlet and the filtered fluid outlet. The apparatus also includes a wiping member which is situated within, or about, the filtering element and which is adapted to wipe the surface of the filtering element. The wiping member also wipes any residue toward the residue outlet when the apparatus is in use. The filtration apparatus includes a first pumping configured to create a flow toward the filtering chamber, and a second pumping situated within the filtering chamber and configured to induce a counter-flow back toward the first pumping.

Abstract:
A screen cylinder (125) used for screening cellulosic fibrous material pulp in the pulp and paper industry incorporates first (66) and second (67) downstream surfaces (16) having contoured slopes that form a funnel entrance of the grooves (13) at the screen cylinder slots (17). The contoured construction of the screen cylinder (125) effects greatly enhanced utility compared to conventional milled and discrete element screen cylinders, including substantially avoiding the Coanda effect .
Abstract:
An extractor for separating the juice and juice sacs from a citrus fruit that includes a lower cup (16) for supporting a single piece of citrus fruit and an upper cup (14) disposed vertically above the lower cup with the upper and lower cups moveable relative to each other in a vertical direction so as to cooperate to squeeze the piece of citrus fruit placed therebetween. An upper cutter (30) is provided for cutting a plug in the citrus to permit the separation of the peel from the juice and the juice sacs, while a lower cutter (24) is provided for cutting the plug to allow the juice and juice sacs to exit therethrough when the fruit is squeezed between the upper and lower cups. A strainer tube (26) is vertically oriented beneath the lower cup and lower cutter, with the strainer tube having a plurality of circumferential slots (38) along its working length (36). A plunger tube is slidingly received within the strainer tube for forcing the juice and juice sacs outwardly through the slots and the strainer tube into a separate reservoir. The slots in the strainer tube may be of equal width and evenly spaced apart or of varying widths. In any event, the slots are preferably between about 0.5 and about 3 millimeters in width.
Abstract:
A rotary filter (1) for fibrous suspensions (S) is disclosed comprising a rotor (2) coaxially arranged inside a filtering basket (4), an annular hollow space (8) being defined between them. In the annular hollow space (8) there are one or more wing profiles (15) fixed to the outer lateral surface (2a) of the rotor (2) extending in an axial direction along the rotor (2). The outer surface (16) of each wing profile (15) facing the filtering basket has one or more discontinuity zones (16b, 16d) whose points have an increasing distance from the longitudinal axis (3) of the rotor (2).when running on the outer surface (16) of said wing profile (15) in a direction opposite to the rotation direction (V) of the rotor (2).
Abstract:
Pressure screening apparatus for screening a suspension of paper fiber stock employs a rotor in which a single impulse or foil member is carried or positioned to move along a discrete portion of the screen surface. This arrangement improves efficiency of operation of the pressure screen by reducing the rotational effect of the rotor on the stock suspension being screened and by providing a less disturbed screening region through which the single foil operates. Embodiments are shown in which multiple single impulse elements sweep over discrete portions of a screen and in which a single foil is combined, in screening apparatus, with multiple foils in accordance with the increase in consistency of the stock as it passes through the screen.
Abstract:
The apparatus for removing bodies (41) from a liquid in which the apparatus includes a first container (1) which is provided with an inlet (13) through which the liquid is supplied to the first container, and a second container (2) which, in the lower region (35) of the apparatus, surrounds the first container. Between the wall (17) of the first container and the wall (27) of the second container, there is formed a space (26). The wall of the first container is provided with passages (15) through which liquid passes from the first container to the space (26). The passages (15) are dimensioned so as to separate bodies (41) transported by the liquid towards the inside of the wall (17) of the first container. A helix (3) is disposed in a path (7) which is formed by the wall of the first container and is oriented at an angle (alpha) to the horizontal plane. On rotation of the helix, the separated bodies are displaced in the longitudinal direction of the path to a discharge aperture (14) in the upper region (11) of the first container (1).
Abstract:
A filter housing (1) is divided into a drive region (4) and a filter region (8). The filter housing (1) is separated in the region of a flange (6) and fitted with a filter carrier (16) which supports one or more conical, preferably ceramic, filters (7). A brush (20) can be moved in each filter (7) by means of a drive fitted in the drive region (4). At their lower narrowed ends the filters (7) rest on an intermediate plate (9) beneath which is fitted the discharge region (17), e.g. with a used-water funnel (10). The filter can be cleaned without being shut down and its design is extremely simple.
Abstract:
A hydrodynamic device for generating negative pressure excursions in a pulp slurry during fine screening, includes a plurality of half-foil members disposed on a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a rotor. The rotor is mounted within and co-axial with a substantially cylindrical screen having a circumferentially continuous apertured zone to define an annular screening chamber between the rotor and the screen. The half-foil members are collectively at least axially co-extensive with the apertured zone and have a leading edge which, also collectively, is inclined at a spiral angle relative to the axis of the rotor such that during rotation, the collective leading edge of the half-foil members conduct large particles downwardly through the screening chamber. A selection of hydrodynamic foil configurations is provided in order to adapt to a wide range of pulp types and screening conditions.
Abstract:
A screw type hydroextractor having a diametrically larger first cylindrical casing (1) and a diametrically smaller cylindrical casing (11) which is disposed in the first cylindrical casing (1), with a ribbon shaped screw vane (14) rotatably disposed in an annular space (13) defined between the two cylindrical casings. Dewatering screens (21,22) are provided in the first and second cylindrical casings at predetermined locations, and an outlet port (6a) for dewatered material is provided at one end of the annular space, the outlet port (6a) being biased by a valve member (41) in a closing direction under a predetermined biasing force. Water that has entered the second cylindrical casing is discharged outward through a water outlet. The ribbon shaped screw vane (14) is rotatable separately from the cylindrical casings (1,11) and, therefore, material being processed can be prevented from turning with the cylindrical casings (1,11). Both the inner (11) and outer cylindrical casings (1) are provided with a screen (22,21). This permits an efficient dewatering operation.
