Abstract

Arrangement for a continuous diffuser for washing pulp, comprising a number of hydraulic cylinders distributed in a ring, arranged so as to repeatedly raise and then lower a screen assembly which is included in the diffuser. The characterizing feature of the invention is that groups of two or more hydraulic cylinders which lie adjacent to each other in the ring are coupled in parallel with each other, but in series with the next group of adjacent hydraulic cylinders which are also coupled in parallel, so that each group of parallel-coupled hydraulic cylinders is coupled in series with the next group of parallel-coupled hydraulic cylinders.
