ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for treating a pulp suspension in which the suspension is rotated in a rotationally symmetrical, rapidly rotating and permeable screen basket so that the suspension is subjected to the influence of a centrifugal force and dewatered at the same time as the suspension is conveyed by a rotating screw along the inner wall of the screen basket. The invention is characterized in that the suspension is caused to rotate by means which are arranged at the entrance to the screen basket, and in that the outer edges of the said screw bear against or are immediately adjacent to the screen basket and rotate at a higher speed than does the screen basket so that the screw scrapes the inner wall of the screen basket. The invention also relates to a device for implementing the method, which device comprises a housing (12), a screen basket (20) which is rotatably arranged in the said housing (12) and which is provided with screen openings, a screw body (72) which is rotatably arranged in the said screen basket (20) and which is arranged with a screw blade (79), an inlet (59) to the said screen basket (20) for the pulp suspension which is to be treated, an outlet (46, 52) from the said screen basket (20) for the pulp suspension which has been treated, and on outlet (62, 64) from the said housing (12) for liquid which has been removed. The device is characterized in that the said screen basket (20) is able to be rotated, via a transmission (26) which is arranged with a gearing, by a drive element (30), in that the screw body is able to be rotated, via a transmission (84) which is arranged with a gearing, by the said drive element (30), in that the screw blade (79) of the said screw body (72) moves along the inner side of the screen basket (20), with the gearing of the transmissions (26,84) being chosen so that the screw body (72) rotates faster than does the screen basket (20), so that the screw blade (79) has a scraping effect on the inner side of the screen basket (20), and in that an element (102) for initiating rotation of the pulp suspension is arranged at the inlet (59) to the screen basket (20), which element (102) is able to cause the pulp suspension to rotate when it enters the said screen basket (20).
