Abstract
Screening cylinders for screening lignocellulose-containing fibrous material are disclosed. The cylinders are formed from longitudinal bars separated by gaps, and support rings extending around the circumference of the cylinders to support the bars, as well as longitudinal strips whose outer surfaces are a greater distance from the support rings than are the bars.
Claims18
An apparatus for screening suspensions of lignocellulose-containing fibrous material comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending bar elements separated by predetermined gaps formed therebetween of predetermined size which is sufficient to allow for the screening of fibrous material said bar elements having an inner surface and an outer surface and being formed into a screening cylinder, a plurality of supporting rings having an inner and an outer surface and being disposed circumferentially about said screening cylinder to support said plurality of bar elements in the form of said screening cylinder and disposed such that said supporting rings do not participate in screening, and a plurality of longitudinally extending strip members having inner surfaces and outer surfaces, said inner surfaces of said plurality of generally longitudinally extending strip members being disposed a first predetermined distance from said inner surface of said plurality of supporting rings and said inner surfaces of said plurality of bar elements being disposed a second predetermined distance from said inner surface of said plurality of supporting rings, said first predetermined distance being greater than said second predetermined distance.
An apparatus for screening suspensions of lignocellulose-containing fibrous material comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending bar elements separated by predetermined gaps formed therebetween, said gaps being of a predetermined size which is sufficient to allow for the screening of fibrous material, said bar elements having an inner and an outer surface and being formed into a screening cylinder, said predetermined gaps thereby extending along the entire length of said screening cylinder, a plurality of supporting rings having an inner and outer surface and being disposed circumferentially about said screening cylinder to support said plurality of bar elements in the form of said screening cylinder and disposed such that said supporting rings do not participate in screening, and a plurality of generally longitudinally extending strip members having inner surfaces and outer surfaces, said outer surfaces of said plurality of generally longitudinally extending strip members being disposed a first predetermined distance from outer surfaces of said plurality of supporting rings and said outer surfaces of said plurality of bar elements being disposed a second predetermined distance from said outer surfaces of said plurality of supporting rings, said first predetermined distance being greater than said second predetermined distance.
