Screen cylinders, and methods of making the same for use in removing contaminant particles from papermaking stock, have a seamless cylinder body and the openings or slots therethrough are formed by directing a focused laser beam at an outer surface while focusing the beam intermediate the outer an dinner surfaces to form an opening or slot with tapered walls. Wear bars may be applied to the inside surface as a bead of weld material. The seamless cylindrical body is formed by centrifugal casting or by cold roller extrusion.

A cutter for comminuting a moving continuous sheet or web, such as paper broke, in the dryer or converter section of a papermaking machine, includes a plurality of high pressure water jet cutting nozzles positioned in a conduit section for receiving such broke from the papermaking machine. In one embodiment the nozzles are arranged in banks positioned to impact the sheet as it passes through the conduit section, from opposite sides, and are mounted on water conduits which, in turn, are mounted for reciprocating movement and are oscillated transversely of the direction of sheet movement by a mechanical drive. The cutting jets from the high pressure nozzles impact the sheet simultaneously at opposite sides, while being reciprocated to reduce the sheet into a multiplicity of smaller discrete or easily separable pieces which fall through the bottom of the conduit section, for further processing or disposal. The nozzles may be directed at an angle to the direction of sheet movement, so as to impart a force component tending to pull the sheet through the conduit section. In another embodiment, an open face roll forms a backing support for the sheet and a mutually reciprocating pair of nozzle banks have cutting jet sprays directed against and through the sheet supported on the open face roll.

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.

Broke handling and reducing apparatus and method for comminuting a moving continuous sheet or web material such as paper broke in the dryer or converter section of a papermaking machine, includes a plurality of high pressure water jet cutting nozzles mounted in spaced-apart relation transversely to the direction of movement of the material and are mounted so as to direct high pressure cutting jets into the path of movement. The nozzles are mounted so that at least some of the nozzles are cyclically moved with respect to others of said nozzles to form a plurality of mutually intersecting jet cutter paths to reduce the material into a multiplicity of smaller discrete or easily separable pieces.

A system and method for treating a waxed fiber paper product with a high wax content to remove a substantial portion of the wax content includes the pulping of the wax paper fiber at an elevated temperature in excess of the melting temperature of the wax to separate a pulp fraction and to form an emulsion of water and molten wax. The pulp fraction is separated from the emulsion by filtering in a reverse pressure screen in which a finely perforated screen defines a high pressure side and a low pressure side, and a major portion of the water/emulsion is removed from the suspension through the screen perforations leading from the high pressure side to the low pressure side, in which a rotor and foil arrangement within the reverse screen is operated under such conditions that the suspension at the high pressure side of the screen is maintained in a constant fluidized condition.

Apparatus for separating contaminant particles from liquid suspension stock, e.g. in the de-inking of used news print, is characterized by one or more of a plurality of features which contribute to increasing the capacity and effectiveness of the apparatus, including the provision of a cell comprising inner and outer annular chambers of substantially equal depth with the inlet and outlet connections for the stock being located adjacent the bottoms of the two chambers to force the stock to travel through the full depth of each chamber, and also the provision of a baffle of substantial width on the top of the wall between the two chambers to spread the stock overflowing that wall into a thin film. Other features include the use of an explosion-type flowbox to aerate the stock as it is delivered to froth flotation apparatus, and the provision of a variety of alternative constructions for spreading aerated grey stock into a film and causing that film to flow a substantial distance in a substantially horizontal plane in order to minimize the distance for travel of bubbles in the stock to the top of the film and thereby to expedite the resulting formation of a layer of froth at top of the film.
