Design
The friction washer is mounted on an inclined frame. The material enters at the lower end of the friction washer with vertical in-feed. The special angular flights in conjunction with the high rpm of the shaft transport the material in an inclined direction toward the top of the unit and simultaneously executes the washing phase. Fines, water and soaked fiberous paper are separated through the perforated screen cage which surrounds the high speed shaft and allows the separated material to flow down through the friction washer housing to the lower discharge pipe.
