  • Patent number: 10589196
    Abstract: A bar-type screen cage has profiled screen bars which are spaced apart in a circumferential direction. Multiple support arrangements which are spaced apart in an axial direction of the screen cage are fastened by welding to the profile bars at the outside. The screen bars, which are spaced apart in an axial direction, form screen slots between them. Each support arrangement includes at least two support wires which are closely spaced apart in the axial direction of the screen bars and which are fixed to the screen bars by resistance welding. The two support wires of each support arrangement and the profile bars-are fixedly connected to one another by way of an additional weld seam.

  • Patent number: 10279285
    Abstract: A profiled strainer bar has a base region and a head region. A straining slot or a straining gap is produced between flanks of the straining slot at the head region. Each flank at the head region has a radius with a common center on the upstream and downstream side. A strainer, preferably in the shape of a strainer basket, has straining slots or straining gaps formed between profiled strainer bars. The strainer bars have a geometry at the strainer bar base region with the geometry being adapted to receiving recesses of support elements and being received in the receiving recesses. The strainer bars are permanently secured to the receiving recesses. The strainer bars are profiled such that each flank on the head region of the strainer bar has a radius with a common center on the upstream and downstream side.

  • Patent number: 9593449
    Abstract: A screening device for fibrous stock suspensions of the paper industry includes at least two separate screening baskets which are connected axially behind one another in the interior of a reinforcing device in the form of a back-up cylinder. A variable-diameter intermediate ring is arranged between the screening baskets. The reinforcing device has a cover part and a bottom part. By way of axial tensile force loading of the arrangement, the intermediate ring is loaded so as to bear radially in the circumferential direction in a gap-free manner against the associated axial ends or screening basket flanges of the screening baskets. The screening baskets are then clamped and fixed in a centrally positioned manner by the intermediate ring in cooperation with the end-side flange of the reinforcing device, the cover part, the bottom part and the intermediate ring.
