Abstract: A screen feed arrangement for a pulp production process, comprising a discharge tank having an outlet, which is connected to an inlet of a discharge tank pump having an outlet, a dilution tank having an outlet, a screen feed pump having an inlet and an outlet, and a screening arrangement, wherein the outlet of the discharge tank and the outlet of the dilution tank are connected to the inlet of the screen feed pump, the outlet of which is connected to the screening arrangement, and that pulp which passes the outlet of the discharge tank has a mass concentration from about 8% to about 15%. A corresponding method for feeding pulp to a screen feed arrangement is also presented.

Abstract: Apparatus for screening cellulose pulp streams is disclosed including first and second screens contained in a housing, and a primary inlet for directing the cellulose pulp stream into the housing, an accept outlet for withdrawing an accept portion from the housing, a reject outlet for withdrawing a reject portion from the housing, a first accept chamber for receiving the accept portion which has passed through the first screen, a second screen chamber for directing the first accept portion to the second screen, and a secondary pulp inlet for receiving a second cellulose pulp feed stream comprising a screened cellulose pulp accept fraction and directing it to the second screen whereby the second accept fraction is delivered to the accept outlet. Methods and systems for screening cellulose pulp systems are also disclosed.
