Apparatus for simultaneous defiberization of waste paper stock and uniform dispersion and accumulation of the defiberized fine fiber stock for dry web formation
Abstract An apparatus for simultaneous defiberization of waste paper stock and uniform dispersion and accumulation of the defiberized fine fiber stock for dry web formation comprising a defiberizing drum having cylindrical teeth formed of its inside circumferential plane and an outlet part for the delivery of said defiberized fine stock formed of its lower part, a hollow rotary shaft provided rotatably in said defiberizing drum, a multitude of swing hammers provided swingably around said hollow rotary shaft both circumferentially and axially at respectively regular intervals, said swing hammers having edges formed of their top and facing said cylindrical teeth with a suitable clearance maintained between said edges and cylindrical teeth, air vents provided to the hollow rotary shaft for passing outer air from said shaft to the inside of said drum and a suction wire part for receiving and supporting the thin paper sheet to accumulate the fine stock thereon, said suction wire part being provided under said outlet part having holes opening above the thin paper sheet.
An apparatus for simultaneous defiberization of waste paper stock and uniform dispersion and accumulation of the defiberized fine fiber stock for dry web formation comprising in combination: a. a defiberizing drum (3) having an opening therein, conveyoring means for radially delivering thereinto roughly crushed waste paper stock, having a return roll (27) outside said drum at said opening, and a feed belt (1) guided by said return roll (27) to guide the paper stock to said drum, a saw-tooth feed gear (2) in said opening above said return roll (27) for feeding the paper stock, into said drum, inner cylindrical teeth (4) disposed inside the drum circumference with a lower outlet section (5) having drop apertures (11) therein for the delivery of said defiberized fine stock formed through said section (5); b. a hollow rotary shaft (6) rotatably disposed in said defiberizing drum; c. a multitude of swing hammers (9) affixed swingably around said hollow rotary shaft (6) both circumferentially and axially at respectively regular intervals, said swing hammers (9) having milling edges (38) formed at the top facing said teeth (4) with a suitable clearance maintained between said edges (38) and said teeth (4); d. air vents (10) on the hollow rotary shaft for passing outer air through said shaft to the inside of said drum; and, e. a suction wire sheet (43) for receiving and supporting a thin paper sheet to receive and accumulate fine stock thereon, said suction wire sheet (43) being disposed under said drop apertures (11).
