Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9100388A1] A dewatering system is disclosed in papermaking machine for removing water from a web (P) such as a paper sheet made of pulp. The drainage system includes a vacuum or suction box (1), a separator (3) for separating solids and/or liquids from the drainage, and vortex valve (6) connecting the separator (3) to vacuum (5). Advantageously, the vortex valve (6) operates to maintain a substantially constant pressure at the separator outlet independently of the gas flow through the valve (6).
