Definitions
- a known screening apparatus particularly in the case of paper making machines comprises a cylindrical screen within a vessel having an inlet for unscreened pulp, an outlet for screened pulp, i.e., the accept, and an outlet for the reject.
- a rotating element with foils rotor which serves the purpose of creating negative pulses, inducing backflow and preventing plugging of the screen.
- the present invention relates to a screening apparatus which is primarily intended to overcome the drawbacks of low hydraulic capacities at high pressure drops when screening paper stocks with fine or small perforations.
- This screening apparatus comprises a vessel, a cylindrical screen cylinder in the interior of the vessel, a rotor which moves in the vicinity of the screen surface, an inlet for the stock to be screened, an outlet for the reject and another outlet for the screened stock, which is called the accept.
- the present invention relates to a screening apparatus primarily for screening stock flows of consistency 0.3 - 3.0 % just ahead of headboxes on paper machines where the stocks have low consistency, which require high flow capacity at low pressure drop across the screen.
- the apertures or orifices within the screen cylinder must be fine enough to protect the slice opening in the headbox and must also remove unwanted rejectable material in the stock flow which could affect the quality of the paper produced.
- the crux of the present invention resides in the combination of a high frequency pulsating rotor and a screen with a contoured surface so that large positive pulses are followed by negative pulses.
- the large positive pulses force the pulp suspension through the contoured screen cylinder which is provided with positive pressure inducing means located just downstream of the apertures of the screen.
- the screen plate has grooves, the grooves having a contour surface and the rotor or blade segments also has a contour surface.
- An important feature of the inventions when the screen plate has grooves is that the grooves of the screen plate have a bottom plane, an upper plane, a side plane essentially perpendicular to the bottom plane and an inclined plane. Further, the perforations are located in the bottom plane of the grooves and a high positive pulse is created in the location in the proximity of the perforations because of the flow of the liquid suspension over the contour surface of both rotor and screen plate.
- the inclined plane of the grooves is the upstream side of the grooves and the other, the perpendicular plane, the downstream side of the grooves. It has been found that by directing the flow in relation to the screen plate in this manner, the pressure at the screen perforations is much higher than the pressure obtained by directing the flow in the opposite direction. With the higher pressure, a much greater flow velocity through the perforations of the screen plate is achieved, thus resulting in superior capacity.
- the apparatus according to the present invention is a high frequency pulsating rotor and screen plate which increases the hydraulic flow capacity through the screen at reduced pressure drop. This is accomplished by designing a rotor and screen plate which both produce high frequency positive pulses within the screening zone just ahead of the perforations, holes of slots, within the screen cylinder. The higher pressure at the entrance of the perforations increases the flow through the apertures. Higher flow through the perforations is obtained due to the increase in P across the perforations even though P across the screen may be lower than conventional screens.
- the screen plate instead of grooves, has bars on the downstream side ahead of the perforations for inducing positive pulses.
- the contour surface of the rotor could be produced of means of bars.
- the cylindrical screen plate has an inlet 1 on one end for introducing the unscreened stock, and an outlet (not shown) on the opposite end for removing the reject portion.
- Means are provided for moving the unscreened stock along one first direction of flow.
- the screen cylinder has grooves recessed in the screen surface on the side of the inlet, the first direction of flow being essentially transverse to the grooves. It should be noted that the direction of extension the grooves may be different from the axial direction of the screen, but preferably the direction of the grooves is essentially transverse to the flow direction of the circulating pulp.
- the grooves are formed having a bottom plane 5 substantially parallel to the envelope surface of the screen plate, an upstream inclined plane 2, a downstream side plane 4, substantially perpendicular to the bottom plane and an upper plane 3 parallel to the envelope surface of the screen plate.
- upstream and downstream are used in reference to a point on the bottom plane.
- the width of the bottom plane of the grooves is at least as large as the diameter or width of the perforations and is at least 0.15 mm and up to 12.7 mm.
- the height of the side plane is 0.1 - 5.1 mm.
- the angle between the inclined plane and the bottom plane in between 5° and 60°.
- the radial height of the bars is 1,02 - 10.2 mm and the width is 2.5 mm - 10.2 mm.
- the rotating rotor has a contour surface.
- the contour surface is formed of a first bottom plane parallel to the envelope surface, an inclined plane, an upper plane and a side plane, the side plane being substantially perpendicular to the first plane and the inclined plane of the grooves forming a 5° - 60° angle against the first plane, the upper plane being parallel to the first plane. According to a preferred embodiment this angle is about 45°.
- contour surface Although one contour surface is shown, many different shapes of contour surfaces may be used, as long as high frequency positive pulses are produced to generate pressure above the screen apertures followed by high negative pulses to backflush the apertures within the screen cylinder.
- leading surface of the rotor may be the inclined plane or the side plane substantially perpendicular to the bottom plane. The leading surface could also be curved.
- numeral 10 designates the first plane and numeral 20 designates the inclined plane.
- numeral 30 designates the upper plane and numeral 40 designates the side plane essentially perpendicular to the first plane.
- the width of the bottom plane is 3.2 - 76.2 mm.
- the height of the side plane is 1.5 - 50.8 mm.
- the angle between the inclined plane and the bottom plane is 5° - 60°.
- the length of the upper plane is 3.2 - 76.2 mm.
- the pulses produced by the fluid flow over the contour surface of the screen cylinder and the pulses produced by the rotating elements either a rotor or blade type segment must be considered.
- a maximum negative pulse is induced right after the start of the inclined plane of the contour surface within the screen plate.
- the inclined surface acts like a foil blade under a moving fourdrinier wire on a paper machine creating a negative pulse. This may also be explained by the fact that a negative pulse is induced at this surface because the inclined plane is diverging and the fluid wants to flow causing a negative pulse.
- Fig. 7 shows the pulse produced by a rotating element with a contour surface as described.
- a large positive pulse is produced by the rotating side plane surface 40 which is at a right angle to the direction of flow within the screening zone. This surface acts like a pumping vane, creating a pressure wave just ahead of it as it moves through the stock flow. After a maximum positive pulse is reached at the side plane surface, the pulse pressure starts to decrease to a maximum negative value just after the start of the contour inclined plane surface 20 on the rotor.
- the superior performance comprises higher flow capacity through the orifices or apertures within the screen cylinder at lower overall pressure drop across the screen.
- the high capacity results from the combination of the positive pulses produced from both the screen cylinder and rotor.
- the maximum positive pulses induced by the contour grooves in the screen cylinder occur right at the orifices or apertures in the bottom plane 5 of the grooves just ahead of the side plane 4 within the contour grooves.
- the screening apparatus according to Fig. 1 of the present invention has been tested on headbox consistency stock of 0.25 %.
- the contour grooves in the rotor had the following dimensions: width of bottom plane: 9.5 mm; width of upper plane: 6.4 mm; height of side plane: 6.4 mm; angle of inclined plane to bottom plane: 30°; the minimum rotor clearance between screen and rotor was 5.1 mm.
- the contour screen cylinder in the experiment had the following dimensions: width of apertures in the screen: 0.5 mm (slots); length of axial aperture dimension: 26.4 mm (slot); depth of grooves: 6.9 mm; angle of the inclined plane to the bottom plane: 30°.
- the screen according to the invention is superior to the standard screens.
- the flow through the screen is 4.5 times the flow achieved by the standard screen at the same pressure drop across the screen.
- the pressure difference across the slot is 20 times the pressure difference with the standard screen.
- the rotor and screen according to the present invention permit the achievement of the same capacity with finer perforations and better screening at same or lower pressure drop as with conventional apparatuses.
- Another advantage of the present invention over conventional screening apparatuses commonly used for screening ahead of headboxes on paper machines is that they mostly use foil type elements which produce pulses in the range of 20 Hz.
- the apparatus according to the present invention produces pulses in the range of 200 Hz, an order of magnitude higher than a conventional headbox screen. Higher frequency, lower magnitude pulses are much more desirable in headbox screening than lower frequency, higher magnitude because higher magnitude pulses may cause variations in the quality of the paper produced.
- the rotor may be operated with the inclined surface as the leading edge and the perpendicular side plane as the trailing surface or edge.
- the inclined surface produces a positive pulse, but of lower magnitude than the right angle side plane surface and forces less fibers through the screen, a fact which improves its screening efficiency.
- the perpendicular side plane also produces a much higher negative pulse which helps in backflushing the apertures within the screen, keeping them from plugging.
- the height or depth of the leading edge may be changed to increase or decrease the positive pulse being produced.
- the angle of the trailing inclined surface may be changed to produce a higher or lower negative pulse which effects the backflushing of the apertures within the screen plate. The greater the negative pulse, the greater will be the backflushing through the apertures.
- Still another advantage of the apparatus and method according to the present invention is the dampening of low frequency high magnitude pulsations coming to the screen.
