Abstract
The stain removal apparatus uses alternating rows of teeth between a rotor and the housing to clean paper pulp during passage of the paper pulp by the teeth. Check members are employed adjacent the teeth of the innermost row of teeth to preclude accumulations of material in front of the teeth. The check members are of the same thickness as the teeth at points adjacent the teeth while being shaped to merge into the rotor or housing at the end remote from the teeth.
Claims5
A stain removal apparatus for paper pulp comprising
- a housing;
- a rotor rotatably mounted in said housing on a longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of concentric rows of spaced apart teeth mounted on said rotor;
- a plurality of concentric rows of spaced apart teeth mounted on said housing and disposed in alternating manner with said rows of teeth on said rotor;
- and
- a plurality of check members secured to said rotor, each said check member being disposed adjacent a respective one of said teeth of the innermost row of said rows of teeth, each said check member having a thickness in a plane radial to said axis and at each respective tooth equal to the thickness of said tooth thereat in a plane radial to said axis and merging at a point remote from said tooth into said rotor.

A stain removal apparatus for paper pulp comprising
- a housing having an outlet for receiving a flow of paper pulp, a plurality of annular concentric rows of spaced apart teeth defining gaps for the passage of paper pulp and a peripherally located outlet downstream of said teeth;
- a rotor rotatably mounted in said housing on a longitudinal axis and having a plurality of rows of spaced apart teeth disposed in alternating manner with said rows of teeth on said housing;
- and
- a plurality of check members, each check member being mounted adjacent each tooth of the innermost row of said rows of teeth for precluding an accumulation of material in front of each said tooth relative to the flow of paper pulp each said check member having a thickness in a plane radial to said axis and at each respective tooth equal to the thickness of said tooth thereat in a plane radial to said axis and merging at a point remote from said tooth into one of said housing and said rotor.
