Abstract
A paper pulp pressure apparatus includes a body casing having a pipe member and a leg member. The leg member extends diagonally from the pipe member. The pipe member includes an input end for receiving unfiltered fluid and an output end for outputting filtered fluid. The leg member includes a basket for receiving the unfiltered fluid from the input end. The basket includes a cavity which receives a rotor. The leg member includes a drain outlet which is in fluid communication with the cavity of the basket so as to receive contaminants from the unfiltered fluid unable to pass through a filtering media included in the basket.
Claims6
A method of manufacturing a two-outflow paper pulp pressure screen, the method comprising:
- providing an input end of a casing of the two-outflow paper pulp pressure screen that continuously receives pulp slurry;
- providing a basket in the casing of the two-outflow paper pulp pressure screen that receives the continuously received pulp slurry from the input end, the basket including filtering media defining a cavity and drain opening in a side of the basket, said drain opening not including the filtering media;
- providing a filtered pulp slurry output end of the casing of the two-outflow paper pulp pressure screen that continuously outputs filtered pulp slurry that has passed through the filtering media;
- providing a leg member of the casing, said leg member including a contaminant drain outlet of the casing of the two-outflow paper pulp pressure screen that is in fluid communication with the drain opening of the basket and continuously outputs contaminant outflow that has passed through the drain opening in the side of the basket;
- and
- providing a flow meter that maintains a selected flow rate of the two-outflow paper pulp pressure screen, wherein
- the casing of the two-outflow paper pulp pressure screen is configured in a Y-shape,
- the input end of the casing and the filtered pulp slurry output end of the casing form a pipe member of the Y-shape,
- the leg member of the casing forms a leg of the Y-shape extending diagonally from the pipe member at an angle, and
- the angle is within a range of 20 degrees to 70 degrees.
