Abstract
A method of and apparatus for separating knots from a fibre suspension in the wood processing industry. A known problem in the prior art has been the quick wear of the screen surface of the knotter when the screen surface has been profiled. On the other hand the ability to separate with an unprofiled screen has not been satisfactory. When using a profiled screen cylinder (5), it has been noticed in performed tests that it is preferable to feed the pulp from the connections (2) in the direction of rotation of the screen cylinder and also to discharge the reject from connections (4) and the accept from the connections (3) in the direction of rotation of the cylinder (5). Accordingly, there is not only less wear of the screen surface, but also a significantly smaller consumption of power per pulp ton than in the prior art apparatuses.
