Removal of inorganic material (filler and coating pigments) from fiber suspensions
The ANDRITZ SpeedWasher removes inorganic material (filler and coating pigments) from a fiber suspension. The machine has an endless wire running at a speed of up to 1,000 m/min. The de-ashing effect comes from the one-sided dewatering of the fiber suspension between a forming roll and the wire. Pigments are enriched in the filtrate, which is de-aerated and discharged through spin tubes. The thickened, de-ashed stock builds a fiber mat, is doctored off the rolls, and is transported out of the machine with a screw conveyor. Machine configurations with one or two headboxes are available.

The RotoWash can also be used as a protection filter for shower nozzles and similar devices. Its design is based upon a well-proven pressure screen with electron-beamed hole basket and optimized rotor and tip design.
