The method and arrangement is for the feed of a chips suspension from one vessel to a subsequent digester in a continuous cooking process for the production of chemical cellulose pulp. The vessel has an inlet defined therein for the input of chips and an outlet defined therein for the output of a chips suspension. The chips suspension in the vessel has a first fluid/wood ratio established above a second fluid/wood ratio that is established at the bottom of the vessel. The second fluid/wood ratio is at least as great as, preferably greater than, the first fluid/wood ratio. After the output of the chips suspension from the vessel and before the chips suspension is placed under pressure for onwards transport to a subsequent digester, a fraction of fluid is withdrawn from the chips suspension, whereby a third fluid/wood ratio is established in the chips suspension.

Arrangement for feeding a slurry of chips and liquid

Apparatus for treating pulp with a treating liquid, comprising a vessel (1) with cylindrical wall (2), inner screening means (3) for withdrawing liquid from the pulp, and a plurality of distributing tubes (5) on the outside of the vessel for the supply of treating liquid into the vessel through a plurality of inlet connections (6). According to the invention each distributing tube (5) is formed of an annular section (20) and an opposing part (21) of the cylinder wall (2), the section being welded directly to the cylinder wall, and the section and the cylinder wall part enclosing between them a distributing channel (22). Furthermore, each inlet connection (6) is provided with an opening (23) extending through the cylinder wall part and connecting the distribution channel to the interior of the vessel.
