Abstract
The dewatering drum 3 for devices for dewatering aqueous suspensions of solid material, particularly for sieve belt presses, has a closed shell 8. Profiles 9 are fixed to this closed shell 8 for forming shells 13 obliquely extending relative to the generatrix of the drum shell 8. The channels 13 deviate from the direction of the generatrix and extend either obliquely relative to the generatrix or are arranged in an arrow-like or arcuate manner, noting that the arrow tip or the culminating point 14 of the arc is showing in direction 11 of rotation (FIG. 3).
Claims7
Dewatering drum for devices for dewatering aqueous suspensions of solid material, in which the aqueous suspension of solid material is passed between sieve belts over at least one rotatable dewatering drum, the sieve belts contacting the dewatering drum over at least part of its circumference, characterized in that the shell of the dewatering drum is water-impermeable and is provided on its circumference with grooves extending approximately in axial direction, said grooves being formed between ribs or straps which comprise on the portions of the circumference of the dewatering drum contacting the sieve band rims extending in opposite direction to the direction of drum rotation, said grooves extending obliquely, relative to the generatrices of the drum shell, in a leading manner with respect to the direction of rotation and in direction to at least one front end of the drum.
A rotatable dewatering drum for dewatering aqueous suspensions of solid material carried between sieve belts which contact the drum over at least part of the drum circumference, said drum comprising a cylindrical water-impermeable shell and a plurality of circumferential spaced apart ribs or straps projecting outwardly from the shell and extending approximately in axial direction, said ribs or straps including rims spaced from said shell and projecting in a direction opposite to the direction of drum rotation, whereby said ribs or straps form between them and with the exterior of said shell a plurality of grooves which extend approximately axially with respect to the drum.
Dewatering drum for devices for dewatering aqueous suspensions of solid material, in which the aqueous suspension of soid material is passed between sieve belts over at least one rotatable dewatering drum, the sieve belts contacting the dewatering drum over at least part of its circumference, characterized in that the shell of the dewatering drum is water-impermeable and is provided on its circumference with grooves extending approximately in axial direction, said grooves being formed between ribs or straps which comprise on the portions of the circumference of the dewatering drum contacting the sieve band a rim extending in opposite direction to the direction of drum rotation, said ribs or straps having a T-shaped cross-section, the cross beams of the T forming that portion of the drum which contacts the sieve belt.
Dewatering drum for devices for dewatering aqueous suspensions of solid material, in which the aqueous suspension of solid material is passed between sieve belts over at least one rotatable dewatering drum, the sieve belts contacting the dewatering drum over at least part of its circumference, characterized in that the shell of the dewatering drum is water-impermeable and is provided on its circumference with grooves extending approximately in axial direction, said grooves being formed between ribs or straps which comprise on the portions of the circumference of the dewatering drum contacting the sieve band a rim extending in opposite direction to the direction of drum rotation, the ribs or straps having T-shaped profiles and being welded to the drum shell.
