  • the beginning of the guide element 15 is located in the region of an imaginary extension of the headbox jet 4, so that the entrained by the outer sieve 6 white water 13 is collected.

  • the distance after a distance which corresponds approximately to an angle of 90 ° of the wrap, increases to 45 mm, so that there is a divergent gap. Thereafter, the curvature of the guide decreases, whereby the divergence further increases.
  • a screen water box 12 is arranged downstream of the guide element 15, into which the white water jet 13 discharges. It is essential that the guide element is not immersed too deep in the white water box 12, but that a free jet length of the white water jet 13 is ensured to produce a sufficient contact surface at least one side of the white water jet 13 to the space formed by the loop of the outer screen 16.
  • the contact area in this example is more than 150mm.
  • This contact surface generates a suction effect according to the propulsion jet principle, as a result of which the water mist in the space 16 is drawn off and removed together with the white water 13 via the white water box 12.
  • the cross section of the white water container for receiving the white water 13 is dimensioned such that no vortex formation is possible.

  • the white water ship 23 surrounds the lower part of the loop of the outer sieve 6, whereby this part is encapsulated.
  • the dragged on the Siebober configuration with liquid is stripped by curved guide devices 19, 20, 21, 22 wirbelarm, deflected and fed to the white water ship 23.

  • the gap has an initial height of less than 00mm and a final height of less than 30mm.
  • the gap in front of the head box 3 is sucked through the headbox jet 4 by the propulsion jet principle and thus the water mist entrained by the outer sieve 6 is removed via the forming area into the white water box 12.
  • the forming roller 7 has a closed jacket. The drainage is thus carried out exclusively by the outer sieve.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the white water box 12 of Figure 1 in cross section.
  • the white water box 12 is machine-wide executed.
