A method is provided for manufacturing a screen cylinder, as well as a screen cylinder with screen wires in the axial direction of the screen cylinder set at predefined intervals into a cylindrical screen surface and fastened to support rods, with end rings are arranged at the ends of the screen cylinder. At least one end ring is mounted at one end of the screen cylinder in such a manner that the end ring is arranged to at least one support rod at the ends of the screen wires or closest to the ends of the screen wires without fastening the end ring to the screen wires. When installing the end ring, a shrink fit is formed between the end ring and support rod, wherein the end ring is arranged to press the support rod substantially perpendicular to the axis of the screen cylinder.

Method for manufacturing screen cylinder and screen cylinder

Apparatus is disclosed for screening fiber suspensions including a housing, an annular screen disposed within the housing, a rotor disposed within the annular screen for rotating relative to the annular screen, pulsation wings disposed between the outer surface of the rotor and the annular screen for relative rotation with the rotor, an inlet for the fiber suspension to feed the fiber suspension to one end of the screening zone, an accept outlet for a portion of the fiber suspension which passes through the annular screen, a reject outlet for a portion of the fiber suspension which does not pass through the annular screen, and a dilution liquid nozzle for supplying a dilution liquid to the screening zone between the rotor and the annular screen, the dilution liquid nozzle disposed proximate to the reject outlet and directing the dilution liquid into the screening zone along the outer surface of the rotor.
