Abstract
Abstract The screen wire has depressions (5), on the base of which there are fine slits (4) or wire holes. The depressions are generally oblong, their longitudinal extension being parallel or slightly inclined to the axis of rotation of a rotor and the screening blades (2) skirting close to the screen surface. The front edge of the depressions (5)--viewed in the direction of rotation of the screening blades (2)--is inclined towards the enveloping surface of the screen, and has an angle of between 15° and 60° from the surface perpendicular and is preferably inclined at 30°. The slits or rows-of-holes run parallel to the front edge of the depressions (5). These screen cages for the screening of screening fiber suspensions provide better screening efficiency and they have less blockage.

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A rotationally symmetric cage screen for screening fiber suspenson, which fiber suspension has a flow direction generally tangential to said cage screen, said cage screen having an influx side and a cage surface generatrix, said cage screen comprising: a plurality of depressions at small intervals on said influx side, each of said depressions having a depression width, each of said depressions having a base and a front lateral surface inclined at an angle between about 15° and 60° from a line normal to said cage surface generatrix and extending from the base in a direction contrary to the flow direction; a plurality of slits provided in said screen at an angel between about 0° and 35° from said cage surface generatrix, at least two of said plurality of slits provided in each of said plurality of depressions and arranged successively in the flow direction, each of said plurality of slits having a slit width; and, said depression width being at least ten times said slit width.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
