Abstract: A permeable drum for wet or dry treatment of textile material, paper or such permeable materials of a certain width comprises narrow sheet metal strips or narrow webs. The sheet metal strips extend in an axially parallel direction. Connector members between the sheet metal strips are aligned in the peripheral direction. The connector members, also serving as spacers, are of a one-piece design and connect to adjacent sheet metal strips. Secure connection of the spacers to the sheet metal strips is effected by screws. Radially inward beneath the inner edges of the strips is a sheet metal jacket, provided with apertures, having its axis arranged in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the permeable drum. This additional sheet metal jacket causes a certain dynamic pressure of the air flowing through the permeable drum, so that the treatment result is rendered more uniform. Furthermore, the precision of rotation of the permeable drum construction is increased.

Abstract: A wire-type pulp washing machine includes an endless moving foraminous wire which extends about a breast roll defining an on-running end and a couch roll defining an off-running end with a generally horizontal upper run of the wire extending between the rolls with showers providing a counter-current washer. The endless wire forms a wire return run having a horizontal wire section beneath the upper run. Pulp which has been washed on the upper counter-current washer may be removed and subjected to a chemical action, such as a bleaching action, and then reapplied to a horizontal return run section of the wire by a headbox to form a pulp mat on the inside surface of the wire. This pulp mat is subject to further countercurrent washing by the application of wash water to an upper surface of the mat and by draining of the wash water through the wire by suction boxes. This wash water may advantageously be applied as the wash water to the last stage of the counter-current washer along the upper run.

The result is a simple, readily mountable, and more lightweight construction of the drum shell.

Abstract: Multiphase washing of pulp is accomplished on a fully pressurized drum filter by employing compaction baffles to increase the consistency of the pulp mat and by providing a separate pump for each wash zone so that there is no pressure difference between the wash zones and, thus, no need for any mat contacting mechanical seal. This avoids mat disruptions and machine clogging often caused by pulp pile-up at such seals. Feed pulp of relatively high consistency is made possible by incorporation of a deflocculator and distributor in the pulp feed nozzle.

Abstract: It is desirable to be able to treat medium consistency (e.g. about 8-12% by weight) paper pulp suspensions with treatment liquid (e.g. a wash liquid), and to thicken the pulp to about 30-50% consistency at the same time. A moving (e.g. rotating) channel is defined by a root wall and upstanding side walls--some or all of which are perforated--and treatment liquid is introduced by an arcuately elongated distributor with perforated side walls into the center of the pulp within the channel, filtrate flowing out through the perforated walls. A pivoted wall portion of the stationary housing of the treatment device restricts outflow of the thickened pulp cake from the device, the cake flowing between a doctor blade and the pivoted wall portion.

Abstract: A method for preshrinking tubular knit fabrics in which the fabric is treated as a continuous length in tubular form. The elongated tube is continuously fed lengthwise into a series of liquid baths which include a wetting agent, scouring and washing constituents and rinses and any finish is to be applied to the fabric.

From the washing and rinsing baths, the saturated fabric is flattened, again without application of substantial tension, and is fed through a two-stage dryer. In the initial stage, the fabric is air-dried to a moisture content of substantially less than 40%. Before introducing the fabric into the second stage of the dryer, the moisture content is raised, for example in a steam atmosphere, to substantially 40%.
