WORKING PRINCIPLE

We have developed the Parason Disc Filter with focus on three key issues:
­ Mechanical Strengths | Deaera on | Reduced ETP load
Applica on: Thickening and Fibre recovery

Principle Operation
The pulp mat starts to form under gravity,
ensuring op mum dewatering characteris cs
As the filtrate channel passes a bridge in
the filtrate valve, the filtrate is diverted to
the clear filtrate outlet which is connected
to the barometric leg. For fibre recovery,
the filtrate is diverted to clear filtrate and
super clear filtrate outlet

The line of sectors emerging from the

suspension is drained and the pulp
mat is dewatered
A bridge in the valve shuts off the
channel from vacuum
Water or air jets strip the pulp mat from
the sectors on the rising side of the discs
The filter cloth is cleaned by oscilla ng showers
 COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Capacity
By op mising the deaera on of the inlet flow
between each disc, the air content in the pulp
suspension is kept to a minimum.
By reducing the internal volumes of the disc sectors
to the op mum, they drain quickly during the drying
of the pulp mat, which allows higher rpm of the disc.
By the new unique design of the filtrate valve with
separate removal, a high and stable vacuum is
achieved.
Filtrate Quality
By op mising the distribu on of the inlet pulp flow
along the whole length of the disc filter with a
sta onary baffle, ensures uniform pulp consistency.
mg/I
With smaller internal volumes in the disc sectors, a
smaller volume to unclear filtrate is carried over
from the cloudy filtrate to the clear filtrate.
By designing each centre sha flow channel
according to the applica on and current flow, it is
possible to create the best process results with good
filtrate clarity.
Outlet consistency
As the internal volumes of the pulp disc sectors are
smaller, they empty quickly when they leave the
suspension and drying of the pulp mat is carried out
while gives a longer thickening me.
By this new unique design of the filtrate valve, with
separate air removal, a high and stable vacuum is
achieved.
Outlet consistency 8­12% depending on applica ons
Centre Shaft
By the new unique design of the center sha with
full visibility during welding of the internal flow
channels, the centre sha is welded in a safe it is
extremely strong and can stand for high mechanical
forces.
This design gives a long life me to the centre sha

 Working Principle
Parason High Consistency Disc Filter (HCDF) is developed for effec ve pulp thickening in wide range of flow
applica ons. The HCDF is adaptable to higher feed consistencies and supports opera ons of variable grades of
pulp and recycled paper.

Feed

Cloudy Filtrate Clear Filtrate Pulp Outlet

The pulp is fed into the vat through the inlet located on the side of the filter. The mat forma on starts under
gravity ensuring op mal dewatering. As the rotor rotates, the filtrate is drained through the channels into outer
rotor pipe under vacuum. The fiber mat is knocked off at the top which causes the pulp to fall into the pulp
discharge screw that is located at the center. The rotor channels has a connected valve for separa ng the cloudy
and clear filtrate. The filtrate can be further separated into clear and super clear filtrate.

The filter bags a er mat discharge are cleaned by an oscilla ng shower and are ready for new mat forma on.
The outer rotor pipe provides a con nuous agita on in the vat to maintain uniform stock consistency.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS & OPERATING PRINCIPLES
PARASON Pulp Thickening machines are constructed following the present state of the art and recognized safety
standards.
Parason Gravity Thickener is simple to install and easy to operate. No external controls are required as the opera ons
are flexible. It has adjustable rota onal speed and outlet weir height for accomoda ng large changes in opera ng
parameters. Addi onal discs can be installed for incremental capacity increases. Small floor space provides a large
dewatering area.
The Parason Gravity Thickener operates con nuously and is used for dewatering or thickening paper pulps in the 0.5%
to 3% density ranges. It houses large filtering areas in minimum space. The Gravity Thickener consists of several discs
installed on a hollow sha that moves in a vat full of pulp. Each disc consists of 4 segments covered with a filter mesh,
whose outlets lead into the hollow sha . As the discs rotate, they lead the thickened pulp to an adjustable overflow
weir for their removal through to the discharge box.

 FOLDED THICKENER

Working Principle
Parason Folded Thickener in comparison to normal thickener
provides a larger filtra on area. This can translate into smaller
space requirements and a higher capacity for specific floor space.
The wire clothing is divided into sectors so that each sec on can be Stock
Inlet
replaced without removing the drum/cylinder.
The stock suspension is fed into the cylinder through an inlet that
evenly distributes the stock across the width of the thickener. The
Thick Stock
water passes through the wire mesh and the fibre mat is formed on Outlet

the surface of the cylinder. A hydrosta c pressure difference (∆h) is

produced between the stock level in the vat and the surface of the Filtrate

drain water inside the cylinder, which provides con nuous

filtra on. The surface of the wire cloth is cleaned by shower.

 DECKER THICKENER

Parason Decker Thickener consists of a drum installed

Parason Decker Thickener consists of a drum installed eccentrically to the vat radius. This allows more clearance on the
feed side than the discharge side. The drum is set to rotate in the direc on of the feed and carries the stock further for
dewatering.
The filtrate is discharged through the outlet of the drum & an outlet connec on on the vat head. The consistency of
discharged pulp is regulated by adding or removing steel weirs to the overflow wall. In this way, with the help of Decker
Thickener, the pulp is thickened and stored in the chest.

Used for removing excess water & increasing stock consistency
