Abstract: The invention relates to a sieve for a paper pulp scrubber or similar equipment, and to a method for fabricating such a sieve. The sieve is produced by mechanical interfit of bars with support members, the bars carrying notches, the lips of which engage at least one V-shaped lateral groove formed in each support member, while the support members present, on their face receiving the bars, a first set of notches for positioning the bars. The cross-section of the support members at the level of the first notches has the same configuration and dimensions as the cross-section of the second notches and the cross-section of bars at the level of notches has the same configuration as the cross-section of notches formed in the support members. Assembling is made by bending a bar by an angle of about 20-25.degree. for widening a second notch and inserting a support member therein. The bar is then straightened back, so that the support member will be firmly clamped in the notch.

Abstract: A screen for a purifier or separator, especially for a paper pulp purifier embodied by assembly of parallel bars on crosspieces, the assembly being made without welds on the crosspieces by dovetailed notches being borned by the bars, the lips of the notches fitting in V-shaped lateral grooves borne by each of the crosspieces, characterized in that the bars (6) comprise, laterally, on at least one side (6a6b) at least one recess (10) so that the width of the bar is diminished at the level of the recess (10) by the recessed depth, and in that the bars are mounted in juxtaposition on the crosspieces (7), in contact against one another by their non-recessed parts.

Abstract: Method and device for preparation and primary separation of paper pulp in which the initial disintegration is produced in a primary pulper 1 of known type, the contents of the pulper, after this separation is discharged directly and discontinuously into a large-sized vat where it is stirred by an agitator with longitudinal shaft equipped with spiral arms, and from there poured discontinuously into a separator.

Abstract: A device for extracting cellulosic and similar materials such as rags, plastics, light metals and wood, which includes a drum which is driven in a first direction at a first speed and a rotor inside of the drum which is driven in a direction opposite to the first direction at a speed higher than the first speed. A plurality of teeth are located on the periphery of the drum along a part of its length for shredding the material placed into the drum input. A fixed plate and a plate of adjustable height are placed at the output of the drum against which the other materials accumulate.
