Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
This application discloses an apparatus for the liquid treatment of cellulose pulp. The apparatus includes an endless perforated steel web which runs about two end rolls. A head box for the pulp is located at the first roll for distributing a pulp layer on the web. Along the web, means are located for supplying treatment liquid to the pulp layer, and vessels for receiving liquid from the lower surface of the pulp layer. In order to additionally increase the dry content of the pulp, means are provided for pressing out liquid, which means co-operate with the steel web during its travel about the second roll. A device for transferring the pulp layer is located adjacent the second roll.

Description

;S~9~
Pulp washer This invention relates to an apparatus for the liquid treatment of cellulose pulp, for example washing and dewatering.
The invention, more precisely, refers to an apparatus where the pulp from a head box is allowed to flow out and form a layer on a plane, endless liquid permeable web. The web runs over two end rolls, and ~reatment liquid i9 supplied on the upper surface of the pulp layer at the same time as liquid is sucked away from the lower surface of the pulp layer into vacuum vessels beneath 1~ the web.
In such apparatuses the web usually is a "wire" manu-factured of plastic wires. The wire is driven by one end roll and slides over the perforated covers on the underlying vacuum vessels. Owing to the friction between the wire and vessel covers, great forces are required for driving the wire. This gives rise, at the same time, to high tensile stresses in the wire, which thereby is restricted as to its possible length, be-cause the tensile stress increases with the length of the con-tact surface between wire and vessel covers. When it is desired in an existing mill to increase the capacity, it is therefore necessary in most cases to increase the wire width instead of the wire length. This implies substantial re-construction of the mill. If a lengthening of the wire were possible, this could be effected by relatively simple measures at reasonable cost.
Due to the fact that the wire is manufactured of interplaited plastic wires, any damage in the form of broken ~265~

wires calls for very troublesome repair work, which in most cases is so expensive that it is more economical to exchange the entire wire than attempt to repair it.
The present invention has the object of eliminating the aforesaid problems and at the same time making further advantages possible.
According to the invention, the plastic wire referred to above is replaced by a perforated steel web. A st~el web has a substantially higher tensile strength than a wire. It is, further, relatively, simple and inexpensive to repair damages in the ~Yeb. Since a steel web also has a higher resistance to pressure, the dewatering of the pulp layer according to the invention can be carried out much more effectively. A further advantage is that the open area in the covers of the vacuum vessels can be increased due to the inherent carrying capacity of the steel web.
According to the present invention there is provided an apparatus for liquid treatment of cellulose pulp comprising:
a pair of spaced-apart end rolls one of which is a drive roll;
~0 an endless perforated steel web arranged about the pair of end rolls so as to provide a substantially horizontally disposed upper portion, the perforated steel web being adapted to be driven by the drive roll to move the upper portion in a longitudinal direction extending from one of the end rolls toward the other of the end rolls, and the endless steel web having a thickness of between 0.5 and 1.5 millimeters and being perforated so as to have an open area of between 8 percent and 25 percent; h0ad box means 5~

for supplying cellulose pulp to be treated directly onto the upper portion of the endless steel web;liquid collection means arranged between the pair of end rolls for collecting liquid displaced from the cellulose pulp through the endless steel web as the endless web is driven by the drive roll relative to the liquid collection means, the liquid collection means having a substantially horizontally disposed surface arranged beneath and in direct contact with the upper portion of the perforated steel web; liquid treatment means arranged above the upper portion of the web for supplying a treatment liquid to the cellulose pulp supplied onto the upper portion of the endless steel web as the steel web is driven by the drive roll; means for applying a pressure differential across the upper portion of the web to force liquid from the cellulose pulp on the upper portion of the web through the endless steel web into the liquid collection means as the steel web is moved relative to the liquid collection means; and removal means for removing treated cellulose pulp from the steel web after the cellulose pulp has been subjected to the liquid treatment.

6~6~i The invention is described in the following, with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof and to the accom-panying drawings wherein:
Figure l shows a liquid treatment apparatus according to the invention, and Figure 2 is a cross-section taken along the line II-II
in Figure l.
The embodiment of the invention shown in Figure l com-prises an endless perforated steel web l, which runs about a first end roll 2 and a second end roll 3. The rolls 2 and 3 are mounted in a frame 4 so that the first roll 2 is movable by means of a stretching device 5, preferably a hydraulic one, for adjusting the web tension. The driving is effected via the second roll 3, and both rolls preferably are coated with a fric-tion-increasing surface layer.
A head box 6 is located adjacent roll 2 for distrib-uting the cellulose pulp in the form of a uniform layer on the web l. In the head box 6 a rotor 7 is provided for defloccu-lating the pulp. Beneath the web a plurality of vacuum vessels 8 are arranged one after another in the longitudinal direction o~ the web. The vessels 8 are provided with perforated covers acting as a support for the web l.
Outlets ~ and l0, (see Figure 2) are connected to the vessels 8 for the discharge of liquid and gas, respectively.
Above the web, means ll for the supply o~ treatment liquid are located. Over 1:he pulp layer a pressure difference is main-tained for effecting liquid transport crosswise through the ~Z65~

pulp layer. The width of the pulp layer on the web is limited by two endless deckle straps 12 which follow along with the web 1. Other Xnown means for limiting the width can, of course, be employed. A hood 13 is placed over the web 1.
At the second roll 3 a transfer device 14 for the pulp layer, after its completed treatmlent, is located, which may, for example, be in the form of a doctor blade. Beneath the transfer device a conveying screw 15 is provided for conveying the pulp to subsequent processing steps. Second roll 3 also co-operates with means for pressing liquid from the pulp layer. According to the illustrated embodimentt this pressing means is a liquid-permeable web 16 which is held pressed against the steel web 1.
The web 16 runs over two small rolls 17,18 and a tensioning roll 19 .
The second end roll 3 is provided with grooves extend-ing all about the roll to permit liquid to be pressed through the steel web 1. The liquid which has been pressed off is col-lected in a trough 20 located beneath the end roll 3. It is, of course, also possible to use other types of pressing means.
Through the pressing-off, a high dry content of the pulp can be obtained. The pulp concentration can, for example, be increased from about 8% to about 30% by this pressing-off.
This means that a greater part than normal of the chemical con-tent of the pulp can be removed through the liquid treatment.
It is possible from a chemical content of 6-10% during a conven-tional fourdrinier wire washing to be brought down to 1-3%. It is thereby possible, for example, to pass the pulp S~i9~L

from a treatment plant directly to a bleach plant without further dewatering in special thickeners.
The steel web used preferably has a thickness of 0.5 -1.5 mm. The diameter of the end rolls should commensurate with the thickness of the web because ~he bending stress in the web is directly proportional to the web thickness and reciprocally proportional to the roll diameter~ A suitable diameter for the rolls 2,3 is about 2 metres.
The hole si7e in the web should take into account nature of the pulp to be treated, but should be in the range 0.5 - 1.5 mm in diameter.
It is also possible, of course, to form the holes as slits. The open area must under all conditions be between ~ and 25%.
The length and width of the web are not critical. Any desired width can be achieved by welding a number of narrow webs longitudinally to form a wider web, because it is not presently possible to directly manufacture steel webs having width as great as desired for oùr novel apparatus, widths of about 6 metres. Steel webs normally are not manufactured in widths ex-ceeding much more than one metre.
The invention is not restricted to the embodiment shown, but can be varied within the scope of the invention idea as expressed above on page 2 hereof and in the appended claims.
