Initial Start-up - Pulper/Water Extractor
Water Extractor Mechanical Adjustments
1. The water extractor Compression Cone
(A) should be adjusted to 3⅞" from the
top of the water extractor housing and
the top of Compression Cone.
The main components of the water
extractor interior are listed below:
A: Compression Cone
Final stage in removing water from
the pulp. The cone has a wiper blade
that pushes the semi-dry pulp down
the conveyor chute.
B: Auger Conveyor Screw
Carries the de-watered pulp from the
bottom of the water extractor up to the
compression cone.
C: Drain/overflow Lever
Raises the drain/overflow tube to drain
the water extractor during cleaning.
D: Drain/overflow Tube
Maintains water level in the water
extractor to prevent overflowing and
to drain the machine.
E: Auger Conveyor Brush
Attached to the auger conveyor screw.
The brush sweeps across the water
extractor screen in order to keep the
screen clean and allow slurry water to
flow from the pulp.
F: Extractor Screen
Allows water to flow off the auger
conveyor screw and back to the bottom
of the water extractor. The auger brush
sweeps the screen to keep it from
becoming clogged with pulp.
