Abstract
A dewatering device for pulp suspensions, comprising a rotatable screening cylinder (1). In the screening cylinder a rotatable shaft (3) is located which is provided with a screw thread (7) for conveying the pulp through the screening cylinder (1) while dewatering the same due to the effect of the centrifugal force. Between the screw thread (7) and screening cylinder (1) a gap (8) is formed, in which a layer of pulp can be deposited on the inside of the screening cylinder (1) in order thereby to act as a filter medium, through which the dewatering takes place.
Description
Dewatering device
This invention relates to a device for dewatering pulp suspensions of various types, preferably cellulose pulp.
At the making of papermaking pulp, the fibre material is repeatedly diluted and dewatered, depending on its processing in different steps. The dewatering can be carried out in different ways by using different types of equipment, for example suction filter, screw type presses, roll presses, disc presses and centrifuges. For acliieving a dry solids content of up to about 30% or higher, great forces are required, which render the equipment bulky and expensive and consume much energy.
The dewatering, of course, is desired to be carried out so that the liquid content in the pulp suspension is removed without the fibre material following along therewith. The apertures in the screen surface, through which the dewatering takes place, however, must not be made too small, in order to prevent the risk of clogging and as a result thereof the capacity of becoming too low. By increasing the dimensions of the screen apertures, however, the proportion of fibres following along with the liquid through the screen surface increases.
The present invention, which consists of a dewatering device of eentrifuge type, implies, that the aforesaid problems can be reduced. The characterizing features of the invention become apparent from the attached claims.
The invention is described in greater detail in the following, with reference to the accompanying Figure showing an embodiment of the invention.
The device shown comprises a screening cylinder 1, which is rotatable about a vertical rotation axis. The screening cylinder is driven by a first motor 2 with variable speed. In the screening cylinder 1 a rotatable shaft 3 is located, whibh is driven separately by a second motor 4 with variable speed. The shaft 3 is hollow and provided with an inlet 5 for the pulp suspension at
its upper end and with supply openings 6 at the lower end of the screening cylinder 1. The shaft 3 further is provided with a screw thread 7 for conveying the pulp upward through the screening cylinder 1 and simultaneously dewatering the pulp. The dewatering is obtained as a result of the effect of the centrifugal force. Due to the fact that the screening cylinder 1 and the shaft 3 are rotated in the same direction, but at a slightly different speed, the desired upward conveyance can be obtained. By adjusting this difference in speed, the pulp conveyance can be controlled.
Although a device comprising a vertical or substantially vertical rotation shaft is preferred, an inclined or horizontal shaft can be imagined within the scope of the invention. The inlet 5 for the pulp suspension, of course, also can be located at the other end of the shaft 3. Alternatively, the inlet can be located directly in the bottom of the space inside of the screening cylinder 1. The essential feature is that the pulp suspension is supplied at the lower part of the screening cylinder 1.
The screw thread 7 does not extend all the way to the screening cylinder 1, thereby leaving a gap 8 between the saire. The size of the gap should be 1-20 mm, preferably 3-10 mm. In the upper part of the screening cylinder 1, outlets 9 for the dewatered pulp are located. Outside of these outlet openings 9 a collecting device 10 is located to receive the dewatered pulp fed out through said openings 9. The liquid separated by the screening cylinder 1 is collected in an outer chamber 11 enclosing the screening cylinder 1. The liquid is discharged therefrom through an outlet 12. On the outside of the screening cylinder 1 and concentrically therewith, a cleaning device 13 is located, which is axially movable along the screening cylinder 1 and formed with nozzles for spraying liquid or air inward to the screening dylinder 1.
The pulp suspension supplied through the shaft 3 preferably has a concentration of 1-4 %. Upon its flowing out through the supply openings 6 the pulp is rotated by the screw thread 7 and screening cylinder 1, so that the dewatering is brought about by the effect of the centrifugal force, In the gap 8 between the screw
thread and screening cylinder a pulp layer is deposited. This layer will serve as a filter medium, through which the dewatering takes place. Due to the pulp layer, the separation of the fibre material is very effective. The thickness of the layer is determined by the screw thread. The layer deposited possibly can be removed temporarily in a suitable manner, for example by an arrangement for rinsing as shown in the Figure. From the annular rinsing means 13 liquid is sprayed to the screening cylinder 1, so that the deposited layer is solved. By moving the rinsing means 13 upward along the screening cylinder 1, the entire layer is removed while a new layer is deposited at the same time. This can be of interest when the pulp layer is too heavily clogged by fine material so that the capacity is decreased.
The concentration of the pulp after the dewatering can amount to 30% or higher at the same time as the fibre content in the liquid is negligible.
The invention, of course, is not restricted to the enlbodiment shown, but can be varied within the scope of the invention idea.
