Process and container for stacking and diluting paper fiber stock. The process includes stacking a high-consistency stock in a first volume for defined dwell time, conveying stock to second volume arranged to adjoin downstream first volume, diluting stock in second volume at least to a pumpable consistency, and drawing off diluted stock as suspension through a wire. Process includes generating circulation flow in second volume, such that circulation flow facilitates conveying of stock located on boundary of first volume into second volume, diluting stock, and drawing stock through wire. Process includes rotating rotor to keep wire clear, and generating, with screw coil arranged directly in front of rotor, flow that runs in axial direction of screw coil and guides diluted suspension away from wire. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Process and container for stacking high-consistency stock

Process for increasing the water retaining ability of fibrous paper stocks. The process includes knead dispersing a fibrous paper stock having a stock concentration of at least about 20% and a temperature greater than about 45&deg; C. A treatment for the knead dispersing is at least about 10 seconds. The process further includes completing a post-treatment phase to a machine tub of a paper machine in a reaction time of no longer than about 30 minutes.

Process for increasing the water retention capacity in fibrous webs

A process for increasing a degree of whiteness of paper pulp may include bring paper fiber pulp, which may at least partially include printed waste paper, into a suspension with water. The suspension may be mixed with bleaching aids and bleaching chemicals. The bleaching chemicals may preferably contain molecular oxygen. Intensely mechanically treating the pulp, e.g., at at least 20 kWh/to, prior to bleaching the pulp suspension. The bleaching period may take at least 10 minutes, with a pressure above the atmospheric pressure being exerted during the bleaching. After bleaching, a major portion of remaining color print particles may be removed from the bleached pulp.
