Abstract: A device including a hollow body defining axially extending compartments therein for receiving a slurry of pulp fibers in a carrying flow. The device includes a stationary screen within the hollow body defining a slurry compartment on one side of the screen, and a screened compartment on the other side of the screen. The hollow body also includes a slurry inlet into the slurry compartment, an elutriation suction outlet in communication with the slurry inlet, and elutriation nozzles into the slurry compartment. The device also includes an elutriation pump outside of the hollow body, the elutriation suction outlet being in fluid communication the elutriation pump, and the elutriation pump being in fluid communication with the elutriation nozzles.
