Definitions

  • the slits and holes must, for reasons of pressure drop and fouling be very short, that is to say of the order of 0.5 to 1mm; on the other hand, the sheets used in current techniques are much thicker, of the order of 8 to 10 mm, for reasons of resistance and as the performance required by users increases, the thicknesses of the sheets increase. It follows that it is necessary to machine a clearance in the thickness of the sheet and then clean and polish this clearance, these two operations representing the most important work that is carried out on the sheets.
  • the object of the present invention is to make it possible to produce very efficient sieves with relatively thin stainless steel sheets, of the order of 2 millimeters.
  • the technique, object of the present invention which makes it possible to use such thin sheets while obtaining the necessary resistance, makes it possible to eliminate the essential clearances on thick sheets and greatly reduces the work of machining, cleaning and polishing . In addition, the consumption of raw material is lower.
  • the present invention relates to a sieve for purifier and classifier of paper pulp of the kind constituted by the juxtaposition of U-section elements comprising a flat bottom provided with perforations and two side walls characterized in that the U-section elements are arranged so that they form a wall of revolution, in particular cylindrical, provided with slots or holes associated or not with grooves and obstacles.
  • the elements are arranged either parallel or perpendicular to the generatrices of the cylinder, or by forming with the direction of the generator of the cylinder an angle between 0 and 90 °.
  • the screen comprises at least one element with a U-shaped cross section.
  • the screen comprises a plurality of inclined elements arranged in a spiral.
  • the screen When the inclination ⁇ decreases, the screen may be formed with only one element wound in a spiral, the turns being contiguous.
  • the elements with a U-shaped cross section can be produced by pleating the sheet or else can be formed by U-shaped profiles which are placed side by side and held by any means.
  • the screen comprises between two adjacent walls of two successive elements a flat element.
  • the sieve can be produced by using U-shaped profiles whose wings are of unequal lengths but whose ends of said wings are in the same plane which is perpendicular to them so that the bottom of the U where the holes or slots are drilled is inclined; so that the perforated surface is inclined relative to the cylindrical surface of the screen.
  • the asymmetrical U can be obtained by pleating a sheet or juxtaposition of separate elements as for symmetrical U.
  • a screen is produced from a sheet of thin thickness, between 1.5 and 2.5 mm, by juxtaposing elements 1, the cross section of which affects the shape of a U.
  • the screen consists of sections 1 in U, which are placed side by side.
  • Each element 1 has a bottom 2 and two side walls 3; the elements 1 are joined to each other by their side walls 3, the bottoms 2 forming the cylindrical surface of the screen in which the holes, slots and / or grooves will be formed.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 it can be seen that the elements are produced by providing folds on a sheet metal plate, so as to also obtain side walls 3 and a bottom 2.
  • the grooves 5 are therefore made in the bottoms 2, from the outer side opposite the ends of the side walls, perpendicular to their longitudinal axis but to a depth less than the thickness of said bottom 2, then a slot 6 is made in the bottom of the groove 5 to a depth greater than that of the thickness of the bottom 2 so as to pass through it.
  • a cutter is used consisting of two contiguous discs (FIG. 11), one 5a to make the groove 5 and the other 6a, of larger diameter to make the slot 6. A slot is thus obtained in a single operation 6 that is very exactly positioned relative to the groove, which is very important.
  • the U-shaped elements are made in such a way that at the bottom of the junction of two vertical walls 3 there is always a space 8 such that each groove 5 and slot 6 open out freely by their two ends in two empty spaces 8.
  • the U-shaped elements can be straight and parallel to the generatrices of the cylinder as shown in FIG. 5 or else circular and perpendicular to these generatrices as shown in FIG. 6.
  • a cylinder screen is produced by a spiral winding of one or more U-shaped elements previously machined, that is to say comprising the perforations 6 (slots or holes) and possibly the grooves 5 previously described.
  • the sieve can be produced with a single element 1 of great length, produced either in one piece, or by butt welding a plurality of identical elements (FIG. 7a).
  • the winding is carried out by fixing one of the ends of the element on a mandrel whose rotation makes the bending and the spiral winding.
  • the turns have an inclination ⁇ relative to the plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, slight by a few degrees.
  • the embodiment illustrates a cylindrical screen, but the invention is not limited to this conformation and extends to all forms of revolution, conical, cylindroconical, etc.
  • the grooves and / or the slots can be made not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the element, or to the side walls, but in a direction inclined by an angle ⁇ by relative to the perpendicular to the axis, this angle ⁇ being equal to the inclination of the turns of the sieve with respect to the plane 22 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 23 of the sieve (fig. 8).
  • This prior inclination ⁇ of the slots makes it possible to obtain slots parallel to the axis of revolution of the screen.
  • the assembly of the juxtaposed elements can be carried out according to several variants independently of the embodiment of the screen (rectilinear elements, figure 5, annular figure 6, or spiral figure 7).
  • the assembly is carried out by the installation of a profile 16, or jumper, also in the general transverse shape of an inverted U, which comes to cap and pinch two adjacent wings.
  • the rider is continuous and, according to the embodiment, it is either rectilinear and maintains two adjacent walls over the entire length of the cylinder or between two crowns 10, or annular in the case of circular elements (Figure 6), or wound in spiral between two contiguous turns 13,14, all along the spiral
  • FIG. 18 A third alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 18.
  • the profiles are produced with a thin strip, of the order of 0.5 to 1 millimeter, the transverse dimensions of the profile being of the order of centimeter, for example with wings of 10 millimeters and a base of 20 millimeters; however, a sieve made with such a strip has a fairly great fragility.
  • a flat metal element 17 This flat element is bent on edge and held contiguously between the walls 3 by electrical welding, preferably by continuous welding.
  • This flat element 17 is approximately the same thickness as the strip, and its width is at least equal to the height of the wings. Preferably the flat element exceeds the wings by two or three times their height.
  • This variant has an important advantage: with U-shaped elements of small dimensions and small thickness, it is possible to make very small perforations (slots or holes). Slits of width ranging from one millimeter to ten microns can be obtained.
  • the screen according to the invention has great technical and economic advantages.
  • the use of thin metal sheet allows both reduced machining, therefore reduced metal loss, but also to achieve very fine perforations with precision and using traditional tools.
  • Economically, such sieves are less costly in material, but above all much faster to produce; their construction cost is therefore significantly reduced.
  • Figures 19 to 24 relate to another alternative embodiment according to which the U-section profiles are no longer symmetrical as was the case in the previous figures but asymmetrical.
  • asymmetrical U-shaped profiles is meant that the bottom 2 of the U, on which the perforations are made (holes or slits) and possibly the grooves associated therewith to produce obstacles, is inclined obliquely to the wings (instead of 'be perpendicular thereto) and that said wings 3a and 3b have unequal lengths so that their ends are in the same plane which is perpendicular to them. It is thus obtained that the bottom surface 2 of said profiles in which the perforations are made (holes or slots) and possibly the grooves 5 are inclined relative to the cylindrical surface of the screen.
  • FIGS. 19 and 20 Such asymmetrical U-shaped profiles and placed side by side are shown in FIGS. 19 and 20.
  • the non-hatched area corresponds to the area where the perforations are made (holes or slots) and possibly the grooves.
