Abstract: The invention relates to a process for blending liquid flows, particularly in the approach system to a paper machine. It is characterized by the individual liquid flows being merged, blended with one another, and degassed, all at the same time. In addition, the invention relates to a device for implementing the process, where a degassing device 5, particularly a rotor with degassing holes, is provided in a mixing pipe 1.

Abstract: For removing foreign solids, for instance contaminants, from pulpers in which waste paper, in particular with a share of more than five percent, for instance more than ten percent, of solids foreign to paper, is pulped or suspended and the suspension or slurry is the withdrawn through a screen zone for further processing, it is proposed according to the invention to at least partially withdraw the suspension or slurry from the pulper in periodic time intervals and, subsequent to the, in particular each, partial withdrawal of the suspension or slurry, to loosen, hydrodynamically or by means of fluids, the foreign solids accumulated on one side, in particular the upper side, of the screen zone, whereupon the dirt slurry obtained by hydrodynamical loosening is fully mechanically discharged from the pulper prior to newly charging the pulper. The hydrodynamical loosening of the foreign solids is preferably effected under backflushing through the screen zone.
