- The drum pulper is designed for slushing fibers and separating coarse contaminants from various types of waste paper.
- Combines two functions: slushing and screening, ensuring efficient processing.
- Features a long drum with two sections:
- The first half contains multiple spikes for slushing.
- The second half is a perforated drum for screening.
- Raw material is fed into the first section through a hopper, where it is slushed while traveling through the drum. The slushed material then enters the perforated section for screening, separating plastics and other rejects.
- The drum rotates on supporting wheels and is driven by a gearbox.
- Operates continuously, with stock fed at one end and water added simultaneously for consistent processing.
- The continuous rotation lifts the stock, causing it to fall from a height, breaking it into smaller pieces.
- Screened stock passes into a perforated zone and is collected in a chest or tank below for further use.
