Les épaississeurs servent à régler la concentration en solides de la pulpe qui ira à la flottation ou alimentera les filtres à vide. Ces appareils utilisent le phénomène de la vitesse limite en eau calme. Ce sont des bassins cylindriques dans lesquels l'eau chargée arrive à la partie supérieure, au centre du bassin; elle se répartit radialement, et, pendant le temps de parcours pour atteindre la périphérie, les particules les plus grenues descendent, échappant à ce courant horizontal, et tombent au fond; c'est donc une eau moins chargée qui est évacuée par débordement. Les particules qui ont décanté se rassemblent sur le fond du bassin; le plus souvent, ce fond est à peine conique, parfois même plat, et les bras d'un râteau tournant très lentement homogénéisent le dépôt, qui est amené vers l'orifice de sortie. 4, record 12, French, - %C3%A9paississeur

Cylindrical washers without droplegs. In the modern designs, the vacuum is generated in a series of small dropleg devices built inside of the cylinder which eliminates the problem of providing a seal valve with a stationary dropleg. (The older devices consisting only of a cylinder with seal bands at each end are usually referred to as gravity decker.) 2, record 18, English, - vacuum%20thickener

For simple thickening of very dilute stocks up to 12% consistency, multidisc thickeners ... can be used. A fiber mat forms on the face of each sector as it submerges in the vat of stock. After complete submergence, vacuum is applied and more pulp is deposited while filtrate is drawn through the mat. The initial filtrate is relatively cloudy and can be segregated (by the action of the end valve) for dilution uses. The later (clear) filtrate is sufficiently free of fiber to be used for shower water. Following emergence from the vat, the pulp mat is further dewatered and finally removed from the filter media by a knockoff shower. Multidisc thickeners are most commonly used as save all devices, i.e., to recover fine fibers from white water and reuse the water. 1, record 20, English, - multidisc%20thickener

Pour obtenir un épaississage à une concentration ne dépassant pas 12 %, on peut faire appel à des épaississeurs à disques [...] Un matelas fibreux se forme à la surface de chacun des segments à mesure que ceux-ci plongent dans la cuve de pâte. Après immersion complète, un vide est appliqué qui entraîne un dépôt supplémentaire de pâte, tandis que le filtrat est aspiré à travers le matelas. Le premier filtrat est relativement trouble et peut être isolé (par l'appareil de robinetterie d'extrémité) aux fins de dilution. Le filtrat subséquent (plus clair) possède une teneur en fibres suffisamment faible pour servir d'eau de rinçage. À sa sortie de la cuve, la couche de pâte continue d'être épaissie, puis est enfin détachée du disque filtrant au moyen d'un rinceur de choc. 1, record 20, French, - %C3%A9paississeur%20%C3%A0%20disques
