Abstract
A deflaker for use in defibering coarse paper making stock includes a rotor and stator having frusto-conical working faces, each of which has therein one or more circumferential rows of angularly spaced pockets separated by axially extending land areas and with a circumferential land between adjacent rows of pockets, the proportions and arrangement of the parts being such that the stock is forced to travel back and forth between rotor and stator pockets as it passes through the working zone. The inlet chamber in which the rotor and stator operate is of substantially larger diameter to provide outlying space to which high specific gravity contaminant materials are directed by the centrifugal force generated by the rotor, and this action is enhanced by a cover plate on the inlet end of the rotor which has the dual function of defining with the adjacent end wall of the stator an entry slot to the working zone, and of developing additional centrifugal force further tending to prevent high specific gravity contaminant materials from reaching this inlet slot. The working faces of the rotor and stator are axially symmetrical so that the rotor can be driven in either direction to double th…
