Abstract: In a method of producing high-yield pulp from pulp chip material containing lignocellulose the material is treated with steam in a steam treating station (1) for driving air out of the material and heating the latter. Heat treated material is mixed in a mixing station (8) with a liquid containing chemicals. The mixture of steam treated material and said liquid is transferred from the mixing station to an impregnation station (25) for impregnating the material by means of said chemicals. Impregnated material is supplied to a refining station (36) for refining the material. According to the invention the steam treated material is mixed with said liquid in proportions, such that the created mixture of material and liquid leaving the mixing station (8) assumes a flowing pumpable consistency. Further, said flowing mixture is pumped from the mixing station (8) to the impregnation station (25).

Abstract: A device for fractionating pulp suspensions has a series of vertical filter sheets attached to a horizontal shaft. Suspension is sprayed against the sheets to effect a separation of coarse and fine solids. Cleansing liquid is also sprayed against the sheets to keep the filter holes open and the fabric sheets are movable with respect to the sprays.

Abstract: A rotatable filter assembly comprises a rotor in a container for fibre suspension. The center of the rotor is formed by axial discharge tubes into which hollow filter elements, forming annular filter discs open. A collecting hopper extends into the center of the filter assembly. The filter elements keep separately, at least during part of the rotation turn, a lower pressure inside than outside.

Abstract: In a hydrocyclone plant for separating a fiber pulp suspension into a light phase and a heavy phase, comprising at least two hydrocyclones (1, 2) connected in series, there is provided a device (20) arranged both for degassing a first stream of separated heavy phase coming from one of said hydrocyclones (1) and a second stream of liquid supplied to dilute the first stream, and for mixing said two streams before they are supplied to the other one of said hydrocyclones (2).

Abstract: An assembly for straining of pulp suspensions and the like comprises a strainer drum (1) mounted in a strainer house (2). One or a plurality of devices (5-9) are provided, in order to free impurity particles from fibers, preferably designed like an impact plate, in the strainer house (2) in the flow path, so that the particles in the stream partly are subject to an impact action, and so that the stream is subjected to a variation in velocity.

Abstract: A rotary filter, formed by a number of annular filter discs (1), mounted substantially parallel on a driving shaft, for the uptake and dewatering of fiber suspension from a container, fiber cakes (5) being formed, adhering to the outer sides of the filter discs (1), is provided with spraying nozzles (3), arranged in a removal zone for removal of said fiber cake (5). The invention consists of supporting elements (4) provided in the removal zone for supporting the fiber cake (5) in its upper loosened part and to prevent it from folding out from the filter disc (1) during the removal process.
