Abstract: A screen apparatus for paper making capable of substantially fully recovering fibers from a paper feedstock which has been subject to a pulper and discharging a residue while dehydrating it. A paper feedstock is subject to two-stage maceration and two-stage screening through first and second screen chambers each provided therein with a screen and macerating blade combination. The screens are each cleaned by the macerating blades, so that fiber pieces contained in the paper feedstock are substantially fully recovered with high efficiency and a residue is discharged while being substantially free of fiber pieces and substantially dehydrated.

Abstract: A doctor blade supporting structure for paper making rolls, which is provided with a reinforcing plate (5) laminated on a blade holder (2), and a finely adjusting screw (10) for use in regulating the blade holder (2) via the free edge (5.sub.1), which is on the side of the blade (1), of the reinforcing plate (5) so that the blade holder (2) can be moved to engage and disengage from the blade (1). This structure enables a proper posture of the blade (1) to be retained, and the blade (1) in use to be engaged with the mating roll surface with a uniform and constant contact pressure distribution at all times. Moreover, the contact pressure of the blade (1) can be distributed uniformly in the axial direction of the roll surface.
