Abstract

Pulper used in the paper industry that processes pulp which pulper comprises a pulper container ( 19 ), a punched plate screen ( 15 ) installed to the mentioned container, a binnacle ( 8 ) out of the lower part ( 3 ) of the container for the mass that has penetrated the punched plate screen ( 15 ) and a rotating mixing rotor located in the container ( 19 ) and equipped with wings ( 1 ); ( 5 ) the purpose of which mixing rotor is to defibrate paper and mix the mass in the container ( 19 ) and that the mixing rotor further comprises a cylinder part ( 20 ) directed downwards towards the punched plate screen ( 15 ) and that rotates along the mentioned rotor to which cylinder part wings ( 2 ) that clean the punched plate screen ( 15 ) are attached and which cylinder part ( 20 ) is located between the mixing rotor and the punched plate screen ( 15 ). The pulper comprises a dilution arrangement of the pulp that streams towards the punched plate screen ( 15 ) in which dilution arrangement the dilution water is brought along the pipework ( 9 ) inside the cylinder part ( 20 ) and is directed from the gaps ( 13 ) of the cylinder part to be mixed with the pulp stream before the mentioned stream has faced the cleaning wings ( 2 ) and the punched plate screen ( 15 ) in which case the consistency of the mass is adjusted to be thinner than in the pulping space ( 16 ) during the mixing.

Claims (6)

1. Pulper used in the paper industry that processes pulp which pulper comprises a pulper container ( 19 ), a punched plate screen ( 15 ) installed to the mentioned container, an accept outlet pipe ( 8 ) out of the lower part ( 3 ) of the container for the mass that has penetrated the punched plate screen ( 15 ) and a rotating mixing rotor located in the container ( 19 ) and equipped with mixing wings ( 1 ) and control wings ( 5 ) the purpose of which mixing rotor is to defibrate paper and mix the mass in the container ( 19 ) and that the mixing rotor further comprises a cylinder part ( 20 ) directed downwards towards the punched plate screen ( 15 ) and that rotates along the mentioned rotor to which cylinder part ( 20 ) cleaning wings ( 2 ) that clean the punched plate screen ( 15 ) are attached and which cylinder part ( 20 ) is located between the mixing wings ( 1 ) and the punched plate screen ( 15 ), and the control wings ( 5 ) are located on the outer edge of the bottom of the mixing wings ( 1 ), characterized in that the pulper comprises a dilution arrangement of the pulp that streams towards the punched plate screen ( 15 ) in which dilution arrangement the dilution water is brought along the pipework ( 9 ) inside the cylinder part ( 20 ) and is directed from the gaps ( 13 ) of the cylinder part to be mixed with the pulp stream before the mentioned stream has faced the cleaning wings ( 2 ) and the punched plate screen ( 15 ) in which case the consistency of the mass is adjusted to be thinner than in the pulping space ( 16 ) during the mixing.

2. Pulper according to the claim 1 , characterized in that the punched plate screen ( 15 ) is annular and the inner circle of its screen surface has a diameter that essentially has the size of the diameter of the cylinder part ( 20 ) or is bigger than that.

3. Pulper according to the claim 1 , characterized in that the mixing of the dilution water with the pulp is adjusted to occur above the cleaning wings ( 2 ) with the help of the rotating control wings ( 5 ).

4. Pulper according to the claim 1 , characterized in that the rotor axle ( 4 ) is directed through the punched plate screen ( 15 ) and the cylinder part ( 20 ).

5. Pulper according to the claim 1 , characterized in that the diameter measurement of the holes of the punched plate screen ( 15 ) is 3 mm or less.

6. Pulper according to the claim 1 , characterized in that the diameter of the holes of the punched plate screen ( 15 ) deviating from the round form, being oval or elongated holes, is 1-3 mm at the narrowest direction.
