Abstract
Device for the washing and dewatering a fibrous suspension, which device incorporates two hollow, circular cylindrical filter drums ( ), which filter drums incorporate evacuation chambers inside the filter drums for evacuation of fluid. The filter drums rotate in opposite directions to create a pinch ( ) where at least one of the said filter drums ( ) is installed in a trough ( ) which partly encloses the outer surface ( ) of the filter drum and which, in the direction of rotation of the filter drum, converges towards the outer surface of the filter drum. At least one pulp inflow chamber ( ) is installed at the highest point ( ) of one or both of the filter drums each equipped with a trough for the introduction of pulp between the outer surfaces ( ) of the filter drum and its trough ( ) for the formation of a fibrous web. The trough ( ) is designed to enclose the outer surface ( ) of the filter drum, from the inflow chamber ( ) and further round at least 230° of the circumference of the outer surface, so that the said fibrous web during operation is constrained to run between the filter drum's outer surface ( ) and the trough ( ) round at least 230° of the circumference of the outer surface before the fibrous web reaches the pinch ( ).
