Abstract:
An improvement in apparatus for screening aqueous suspensions and being of the type having a perforated, diluting-liquid cylinder adapted to rotate inside a co-axial, perforated, nonrotatable screening drum, and with which means are provided for supplying diluting liquid and suspension mixtures to the cylinder and drum respectively, the improvement being that the means which causes the diluting cylinder to rotate is at least partially enclosed by the means supplying said liquid to the cylinder and that means are provided for imparting to the liquid, prior to its entry into said cylinder, a determined speed of rotation, thereby preventing uneven distribution in the apparatus of the suspended material.
