Device for hot dispersing fibrous paper stock and a method hot dispersing the stock
First Claim
1. A dispersing machine for hot dispersing a highly consistent fibrous stock comprising:
- at least one stationary stator that includes a plurality of annular concentric rows of stator teeth;
at least one rotating rotor that includes a plurality of annular concentric rows of rotor teeth;
an annular dispersing zone being formed by the stator teeth and the rotor teeth whereby the rotor teeth are adapted to rotate adjacent the stator teeth such that a distance is maintained between the stator teeth and the rotor teeth in the annular dispersion zone;
an inlet that allows the fibrous stock to enter the dispersion machine;
a milling element centrally arranged on the rotor, the milling element being arranged near the inlet and defining a milling zone;
an annular chamber arranged between the dispersion zone and the milling zone;
at least one conduit allowing a heating medium to enter the annular chamber; and
at least one rotatable annular centrifugal row of teeth arranged between the milling element and the annular chamber.

Abstract
A method and a dispersing machine for hot dispersing a highly consistent fibrous stock. The machine includes at least one stationary stator that includes a plurality of annular concentric rows of stator teeth. At least one rotating rotor is provided that includes a plurality of annular concentric rows of rotor teeth. An annular dispersing zone is formed by the stator teeth and the rotor teeth whereby the rotor teeth are adapted to rotate adjacent the stator teeth such that a distance is maintained between the stator teeth and the rotor teeth in the annular dispersion zone. An inlet is provided that allows the fibrous stock to enter the dispersion machine. A milling element is centrally arranged on the rotor. The milling element is arranged near the inlet and defines a milling zone. An annular chamber is arranged between the dispersion zone and the milling zone. At least one conduit allows a heating medium to enter the annular chamber. At least one rotatable annular centrifugal row of teeth is arranged between the milling element and the annular chamber. The method includes transporting the fibrous stock via the inlet to the milling zone, rotating the milling element to subject the fibrous stock to milling, allowing the fibrous stock to pass by the at least one rotatable annular centrifugal row of teeth, subjecting the fibrous stock to the heating medium in the annular chamber, and moving the fibrous stock through the dispersion zone.
