Washing apparatus is disclosed comprising one or possibly two co-operating cylindrical press rolls, each having a perforated outer surface. A guide surface is provided at a distance from the perforated outer surface and encloses the respective press roll in the circumferential direction over at least 225° of the roll's circumference, wherein a pulp passage is provided between the perforated outer surface and the guide surface. During operation, pulp that is fed into the pulp passage is guided in a direction of rotation of the respective press roll and is pressed in a pinch between the press rolls. The radial distance between the outer surface of the press roll and the guide surface is substantially the same throughout a portion of the pulp passage in the circumferential direction. |
