Claim 9

A device according to claim 3, characterized in that the slot width is at least 1 mm, the cleaning device consists of a doctor fixed to a supporting rod provided near the screen slot and parallel to the rotating shaft, and said doctor resiliently bears against the screen slot and the envelope surfaces of the plates.

Claim 10

A device according to claim 3, characterized in that the slot width is 0.3-1 mm, and the cleaning device consists of a rotatable knife blade fastened above the slot to a supporting rod.

Claim 11

A device according to claim 3 characterized in that a third plate provided with openings for the accept and of the same diameter as said first and second plates is fixed to the rotary shaft between said walls and is stationary in relation to each of said walls.
