Abstract

Abstract A screen plate with grooves is described. The grooves are provided at the bottom with perforations. The direction of the grooves substantially deviates from the flow direction of the pulp to be screened. By different inclination of the side planes of the grooves the turbulance force on the pulp can be varied to meet the different needs of various screening applications.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 167 words
A cylindrical screen plate for screening smoothly unscreened pulp and for separating the accept portion of the pulp from the reject portion of the pulp, the screen plate having an inlet on one side for introducing the unscreened pulp, an outlet at the opposite side for removing the reject portion and having an envelope surface, the screen plate being provided with means for moving the unscreened pulp along one first flow direction, the screen plate having grooves in the side of the inlet recessed in the screen surface, said first flow direction being essentially transverse to the grooves, the grooves being formed of an upstream side plane, a downstream side plane and a bottom plane, said bottom plane being substantially parallel to the envelope surface of the screen plate, the grooves having perforations in the bottom plane, the upstream side plane of the grooves being substantially perpendicular to said envelope surface and the downstream side plane of the grooves forming a 60°-5° angle against said envelope surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 167 words
A cylindrical screen plate for screening smoothly unscreened pulp and for separating the accept portion of the pulp from the reject portion of the pulp, the screen plate having an inlet on one side for introducing the unscreened pulp, an outlet at the opposite side for removing the reject portion and having an envelope surface, the screen plate being provided with means for moving the unscreened pulp along one first flow direction, the screen plate having grooves in the side of the inlet recessed in the screen surface, said first flow direction being essentially transverse to the grooves, the grooves being formed of an upstream side plane, a downstream side plane and a bottom plane, said bottom plane being substantially parallel to the envelope surface of the screen plate, the grooves having perforations in the bottom plane, the upstream side plane of the grooves being substantially perpendicular to said envelope surface and the downstream side plane of the grooves forming a 60°-5° angle against said envelope surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
A screen plate according to claim 1 wherein the downstream side plane of the grooves forms an approximately 30° angle against the envelope surface of the screen plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
The screen plate according to claim 2 wherein the downstream side plane and the upstream side plane of the grooves are connected to each other by means of a surface substantially parallel to said envelope surface.
