ABSTRACT:
A mass tower for medium or high consistency fiber suspension includes a vertically elongated circumferential side wall defining a space for receiving the fiber suspension. The bottom portion of the mass tower is filled with a material in an amount and of sufficient strength, preferably sand, gravel or concrete, to support the weight of the fiber suspension above the filling material. The filling material forms a bottom surface in contact with the fiber suspension and has an opening therein. Within the filling material is formed a flow channel in communication with the opening and extending through the filling material towards the side of the bottom portion for allowing the fiber suspension to be discharged from the mass tower. A method of manufacturing a mass tower and a method of converting an existing mass tower is also disclosed.
