Abstract

A separation device for separating contaminants from fiber pulp suspensions, preferably produced from waste paper, comprises a cylindrical screen number (4) and a rotor (7) arranged therein. An annular inlet passage (14) for incoming suspension surrounds a tubular wall (11), which extends from the screen member (4) coaxially with the rotor (7). According to the invention, a flow deflecting wall member (16) extends toward the rotor (7) to a position in which the wall member is axially in front of an open end (12) of the tubular wall (11) and radially inside the tubular wall. Furthermore, the wall member (16) with a cross-sectional area which is substantially less than the cross-sectional area of the annular inlet passage (14).
