MODELING OF FIBER PASSAGE THROUGH SLOTTED SCREENS

So far, screening with the application of pressure screens cannot be c alculated. However, the flow of the suspension through the screen perf orations with the feed flow tangentially directed against the perforat ed basket is of fundamental significance. Starting from this significa nt aspect, an empiric model was developed which makes it possible to d escribe the fiber passage propability affected by the average speed of flows under consideration of fiber characteristics such as length and stiffness.
