Abstract
Multiphase washing of pulp is accomplished on a fully pressurized drum filter by employing compaction baffles to increase the consistency of the pulp mat and by providing a separate pump for each wash zone so that there is no pressure difference between the wash zones and, thus, no need for any mat contacting mechanical seal. This avoids mat disruptions and machine clogging often caused by pulp pile-up at such seals. Feed pulp of relatively high consistency is made possible by incorporation of a deflocculator and distributor in the pulp feed nozzle.
