Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressure sorter according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Pressure sorters are used in the processing of pulp suspensions used, namely to process the fiber suspension in a wet sieving.
  • a pressure sorter contains a sieve element, which has a large number of Openings are provided.
  • the fibers contained in the suspension should pass through the Open openings while keeping unwanted solid components on it rejected and routed out of the sorter. That is also conceivable Use to separate different fiber components, i.e. the shorter from the longer fibers.
  • Round holes are generally used as sorting openings or Slots.
  • pressure sorters of the type considered here are included Provide screen clearers which have clearing surfaces moved past the screen. Thereby clogging of the screen openings is prevented in a manner known per se.
  • the US 3,586,172 shows a pressure sorter, the rotor in four different zones is divided. After a first zone that only serves to accelerate the substance, the suspension reaches a sorting zone, in which the rotor with elevations is equipped that fluidize the fiber suspension and the formation of fiber flakes ("clusters") should prevent.
  • the following sorting zone shows similar to the first Zone indentations in the rotor, which ensure the maintenance of speed and thereby to prevent plugging. The clearing effect of such However, there is little indentation in the present material.
  • WO 93/22494 A also shows a pressure sorter, the rotor of which is in different types Zones is divided.
  • a drum-shaped rotor has a number of Projections on which are provided with surfaces for the axial transport of the suspension between rotor and screen basket. The axial transport is from Inflow to the sieve up to the reject outlet is promoted and in the last zone slowed down.
  • EP 0 289 020 proposes thickening the residue too quickly to prevent or reduce by a rotor that the axial transport along the Sieve basket accelerated.
  • the rotor has a large number of projections ("bulges") with inclined surfaces for the production of axial components. there the axial impulses are of different strength depending on the axial position of the considered projection generated.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pressure sorter with a special screen clearer on the entire screen element has a good sorting effect favored and particularly robust, i.e. enables a high throughput and is also suitable for suspensions with a consistency of more than 2%.
  • the subject of the invention develops its particularly advantageous effect in that the screen clearer used therein is provided with a number of clearing elements, which differ depending on their position.
  • the shape is the used clearing elements known per se from the prior art. Surrender however, considerable advantages from their combination in the manner indicated. New is, that in the course of the transport flow, that is, on the path that it has flowed in Fibrous suspension runs along the sieve element until it does not pass through the Portions of the reject outlet that have passed through the sieve element leave the apparatus again, the screen clearing is carried out with increasing clearing effect, namely by differently designed clearing elements.
  • For the sorting effect are not only the size and shape of the sorting openings in the sieve element are important, but also that Shape of the clearing elements, which keep the sieve element free.
  • Broaching elements generate pressure and suction impulses at the screen openings Suction impulses are used for clearing, i.e. keeping the sieve free.
  • the clearing elements can one differentiates several types, which have a fundamentally different structure to have. For example, hydrodynamically effective air flow in the wing The space between the rotor and the screen element is moved relative to the suspension, which specifically causes such pressure and suction phenomena that increase the throughput favor.
  • Another option is to put on essentially spherical segment-shaped elevations, so-called "bumps", on one Basic rotor body or the placement of elevations, which a more or less have a pronounced wedge shape.
  • the different ones Broaching elements arranged so that the screen clearing effect in the different Clearing zones is increased in the course of the transport flow.
  • the Paper fiber suspension is relative immediately after entering the pressure sorter thin and has a high content of fine and fillers. Hence the requirements the clearing of the screen less than in the later course. Less clearing effect is usually used for sorting quality, that is, for selectivity. More fibers get in the accepted substance. would, however, in this first zone too much of these fine and Fillers flow through the sieve, so they were missing as a lubricant and carrier material in the following sorting zones.
  • the sorting effect is thus achieved by the invention equalized in that in larger areas of the sorter an inexpensive Mixture of fibers and fines is present. This is important for the "rescue" of the Long fibers that are otherwise too easily permanently rejected, i.e. in the reject of the Pressure sorter would arrive.
  • the push-through tendency in the transport direction can also be increased become.
  • the boundary between the rejected and Permitted proportions of a sieve element increases with the clearing effect shifted such that portions lagging behind with weaker push through tendency remain, get into the passage with a stronger tendency.
  • the broaching elements which have a high push-through tendency, e.g. those with wedge-shaped elevations or a triangular contour, only in a small one Area of the strainer basket are used, i.e. where the achievable advantages are greater than the disadvantages. They are also particularly robust and call in turn, only a small part at this particularly vulnerable point on the screen element Stress caused by alternating bending stresses. It can also be useful that to combine increasing clearing action with decreasing push through tendency, e.g. if Too much dirt accumulation occurs in the downstream clearing zones.
  • the screen clearer can advantageously be modular. It then consists of several parts releasably connected to each other, each of which e.g. forms a clearing zone. So clearing zones can be meaningfully combined and tailored to the application, e.g. by changing the order of clearing zones. Worn parts can can be easily replaced.
  • FIG. 1 shows a pressure sorter according to the invention with a sieve element 2, here in the form of a cylindrical screen basket, which the interior of the Pressure sorter divides into an inlet space 3 and an accept material space 4.
  • a sieve element 2 here in the form of a cylindrical screen basket, which the interior of the Pressure sorter divides into an inlet space 3 and an accept material space 4.
  • Inlet 3 can the fiber suspension S via a suspension inlet 5 are fed.
  • the pressure sorter used here receives one Angular momentum that sets it in a circumferential motion.
  • a transport flow T through a vertical symbolizes downward arrow, created.
  • On the way of the transport flow T is a large part of the fiber suspension S as intended by the Sieve element 2 derived in the accepted substance room 4.
  • a sieve clearer 8 known per se is used, which is relative to the sieve element 2 can move.
  • the clearing elements used on the screen clearer 8 designed so that, viewed in the direction of the transport flow T, several Form clearing zones 9, 10, 11 and 12, each of which has different clearing elements exhibit.
  • the screen clearer 8 of the embodiment shown here contains a total four different clearing zones, the first clearing zone 9 having spherical sections 13 which second clearing zone 10 with hydrodynamic flow profiles 14, the third clearing zone 11 with wedge-shaped elevations 15 and the last clearing zone 12 with a circumferential one Polygon 16 is provided.
  • the order shown here is true in many cases particularly advantageous, but in the form not the only way to the invention realize.
  • the number of clearing zones can also be varied. It is important that the clearing effect that the clearing elements exert from level to level Level is increased. Then there is a relatively high throughput through the pressure sorter possible because the increasing resistance on the way of the transport flow T at Convey the suspension through the sieve element with a correspondingly stronger one Effectiveness of the clearing elements can be balanced.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of a clearing zone from above, in the Ball sections 13 are placed directly on a base body 8 '. It should be noted that these spherical sections operated here at a lower peripheral speed are considered common because they are on the same rotor as the other clearing elements. By reducing the clearing effect again, they support the solution of the task.
  • FIG. 3 Another version is shown in FIG. 3 with wedge-shaped elevations 15, which also are attached to the base body 8 'without clearance.
  • 4 hydrodynamic Flow profiles 14 can be used, the radial spacing on the base body 8 'of Sieb thriftrs 8 are attached.
  • Fig. 5 shows as Another variant is a so-called "lobed rotor", in which a rounded polygon 16 is used, which e.g. - as shown here - from two cylinder segments is formed, each having an ellipse section as the base.
  • the Transition point of adjacent cylinder segments on the outer contour is discontinuous.
  • the pressure sorter shown in Fig. 1 is a relatively complex embodiment of the submitted invention. It has four different clearing zones 9, 10, 11 and 12 on. It is not always necessary to go that far. 6 shows an example with only three different clearing zones 9, 10 and 11. Also one is in the direction the clearing effect of the transport flow T can be achieved.
