Abstract

An extended drainage strip (3) is placed next to the primary sieve (5) of a double-sieve mold. It has a liquid-intake space (2), which is disposed between the part of the surface (4) facing the sieve and the sieve (5). Disposed next to the other sieve (6) is at least one adjustable strip (7) arranged so that it can be placed opposite the intake space (2). Intake space (2) has a cross-sectional size that increases, if necessary, in the direction in which the liquid flows. By pressing the adjustable strip (7) against the intake space (2) of the extended strip (3), the shape of the intake space (2) can be controlled, and the suction or intake of the liquid in the intake space (2) is regulated. One object is to achieve steadily increasing suction in the flow direction. This result assists in preventing undesired pressure surges. The drainage device is simplified and thus easy to monitor. Drainage proceeds carefully, with higher retention of fine particles in the sheet of material between the sieves.
