Abstract
The injector apparatus is of the kind having a constriction which lies, in the flow direction, immediately before a following adjoining mixing section, in which fibrous stock suspension is mixed with air for the purpose of subjecting the suspension to flotation in a flotation tank. The mixing pipe in which the mixing section is disposed has a radial diffusor at its outlet end, and, for a greater flow rate of air, additional air intake bores are disposed therein a short distance in the flow direction after the constriction. A favorable arrangement is achieved if the injector apparatus with the mixing pipe is arranged perpendicularly in a flotation tank, which may have the form of a reclining cylinder. In this case, the froth, like the cleaned suspension, is drawn off on one long side, i.e., a side which extends parallel to the cylinder axis; the extraction opening for the cleaned suspension being provided preferably immediately below the level of the suspension and/or the froth extraction arrangement.
