Abrégé français

La présente invention concerne une presse à épaissir qui comprend deux rouleaux de presse rotatifs (1), qui coopèrent l'un avec l'autre. Leurs surfaces d'enveloppe (5) présentent des ouvertures ou des perforations pour éliminer le liquide d'une matière qui en est saturée (3) et qui doit être concentrée et déplacée vers l'avant entre les rouleaux de presse. Chacun de ces rouleaux (1) est entouré sur une partie de sa surface périphérique (5), y compris au moins au niveau des zones dans lesquelles il agit sur la matière en cours de concentration, par une bande sans fin de tissu filtrant (6, 7), qui passe aussi autour d'au moins un rouleau de renvoi (10; 10, 17, 18) situé à une certaine distance du rouleau de presse qui lui correspond (1) et de la matière trempée, non encore concentrée (3). Les bandes de tissu filtrant (6, 7) sont sensiblement parallèles en aval de la zone de pression, jusqu'à un poste de livraison (15, 16) de la matière concentrée.

A CONCENTFU~TOR PRESS
The present invention relates to a concentrator press of the
kind which comprises a pair rotatably drivable press rolls
which are arranged for mutual coaction and which have apertured
or perforated mantle surfaces for removing liquid from a liq-
uid-saturated material to be concentrated and advanced between
the press rolls, wherein each of the press rolls is embraced
around a part of its periphery, including at least the region
in which the roll acts on the material undergoing concentra-
tion, by an endless filter-cloth web which also runs around at
least one web direction changing roller located at a distance
from its associated press roll and the not yet concentrated
liquid-drenched material.
Concentrator presses of the aforesaid kind are known from SU-A-
561 76~ and are used to increase the dry solid contents of liq-
uid-particle or liquid-fibre suspensions or liquid-rich parti-
cle pulps or fibre pulps, such as for de-watering cellulose
pulps, for instance. A large total hole area in the apertured
or perforated mantle surfaces of the press rolls is therefore
desirable from the aspect of capacity. The size of the perfora-
tions in the mantle surfaces of the rolls can be increased,
with subsequent improvement in the permeability of the rolls,
by using filter-cloth webs that prevent the undesirable passage
of particles or fibres, provided that this increase in the size
of the holes does not impair the support afforded to the filter
cloth. In the case of the press described in SU-A-561 765, the
filter-cloth webs move downwards and away from one another af-
ter passing through the press nip and the concentrated materialfalls down into an underlying material transporter. This diver-
gence of the webs downstream of the press nip results in a de-
crease in the degree of compression or compaction of the mate-
rial and there is an undesirable tendency for moisture or liq-
uid that has already been pressed from the material being drawnback from the interior of the press rolls by suction

W O 97/13S7Z PCT/SE96/01249
The object of the present in~ention is to provide a novel and
advantageous arrangement with which the aforesaid drawbacks are
avoided to at least a substantial extent.
~ith the intention of solving the aforesaid problems, it is
proposed in accordance with the present invention that in a
concentrator press of the kind defined in the introduction, the
filter-cloth webs are caused to run generally parallel with one
another downstream of the press nip, up to a concentrated mate-
rial delivery station. This arrangement avoids re-wetting of
the concentrated material to a large extent. Further improve-
ments are achieved in this respect in accordance with a pre-
ferred embodiment of the invention in which the mutually paral-
lel web sections extend upwards from the press rolls. Prefera-
bly, the upper parts of the mutually parallel web sections arecurved so as to deliver the concentrated material to one side
of the press. This further reduces the risk of re-wetting the
concentrated material and the material is obtained ln the form
of a coherent web of generally uniform thickness which can be
subjected to a subsequent additional concentration stage for
instance, in a simple and rational manner.
Other characteristic features of the invention and advantages
afforded thereby will be evident fro~ the dependent Claims and
also from the following description of preferred embodiments of
the invention given by way of example only.
Figs. 1 and 2 are schematic vertical cross-section views of a
first and a second embodiment of an inventive concentrator
press respectively.
Those components and features that find ~utual correspondence
in the two Figures have been designated with the same reference
signs. The concentrator press illustrated in Fig. 1 includes
two press rolls 1 which are partially submerged in a trough 2,
which in the illustrated case is assumed to contain a pulp sus-

pension 3 that is to be concentrated or de-watered. The pulp
suspension is delivered through an inlet 4 with the aid of a
delivery pump, not shown.
The press rolls 1 typically include perforated or apertured
mantle surfaces 5 and are each partially embraced in the aper-
tured region thereof by a respective individual endLess filter-
cloth web 6, 7, e.g. a wire cloth of suitable plastic material.
As evident from Fig. 1, at least those parts of the mantle sur-
faces 5 of the rolls 1 that are immersed in the pulp suspensionare surrounded by an associated filter-cloth web. The roll
trunnions are journalled in the trough end walls, where at
least one trunnion 8 of each press roll is tubular and con-
nected to a pump or some other subpressure source (not shown)
for the purpose of removing liquid that has entered the inte-
rior of the rolls 1. Seals 9 act on the sides of the press
rolls 1 remote from the press nip between the rolls 1 in a re-
gion where the roll mantle surfaces are covered by an associ-
ated filter-cloth web 6, 7. Although not shown, corresponding
seals seal against the end surfaces of the rolls 1, so as to
close the trough 2 and enable a overpressure to be conveniently
maintained in the trough and therewith assist removal of liquid
from the pulp suspension 3 in the trough 2 and into the inte-
rior of the rolls 1.
Each of the filter-cloth webs 6, 7 partially surrounding the
rolls 1 runs around a web direction changing or guide roller
10. The filter-cloth webs move upwards from the roll nip to the
guide rollers 10 essentially parallel with one another in the
direction of the arrows 11. The reference numeral 12 identifies
web stretching or tensioning rollers that can be brought into
abutment with the webs 6, 7, whereas the reference numeral 13
identifies spray nozzles with which the webs are sprayed clean.
When the concentrator press shown in Fig. 1 is working, the
press rolls 1 are rotated in mutually opposite directions so
,

~,
that the mutually parallel sections of the webs 6, 7 will move
upwards at the same time as the pulp suspension is delivered to
the trough 2 under an overpressure and a subpressure is gener-
ated in the interior of the rolls 1. The suspension is there-
with drawn by suction towards those areas of the roll mantlesurface that are embraced by the filter-cloth webs and immersed
in the trough 2 and transported to and through the roll nip and
de-watered therein, wherewith water departs through the hollow
trunnions 8. The de-watered pulp 14 is transported upwards be-
tween the mutually parallel web sections to a delivery stationin which guide scrapers 15 lead the concentrated pulp into a
material transporter 16 situated above the press rolls 1 at a
distance therefrom. At least one press roll may be movable ta-
wards and away from the other so as to enable the size of the
press nip to be adjusted, and the filter-cloth webs 6, 7 may be
provided with conventional web restraining means (not shown)
for preventing lateral movement of the webs.
The embodiment illustrated in Fig. 2 corresponds essentially to
the Fig. 1 embodiment and will therefore be described below
solely with respect to the differences in the Fig. 2 embodl-
ment. In the Fig. 2 embodiment, the filter-cloth guide roller
10 is also movable in a vertical direction to enable tension in
the web 6 to be adjusted. Two direction changing rollers 17, 18
and a guide roller 19 are provided for the web 7, whereby the
web sections moving parallel with one another are curved to the
left in the Figure, such as to deliver the concentrated pulp 14
in the form of a coherent web of generally uniform thickness to
one side of the press. In this case, one of the direction
changing rollers 17, 18 is also movable generally horizontally
for adjusting the tension in the web 7.
The invention is not restricted to the aforedescribed and il-
lustrated exemplifying embodiments and can be implemented in
any desired manner that lies within the scope of the inventive
concept as defined in the following Claims.
