<p>A suspension, such as paper pulp, having a consistency of between about 6-20% (i.e. medium consistency) is pumped by a pump (10) devoid of a gas removal vacuum system. The pump contains a hollow shaft (14) having elongated slots (15, 16) and impeller blades (19, 20) are disposed about the shaft (14). Connected to the suspension inlet (12) end of the shaft is a hollow boat-type propeller (24) which urges suspension directly to the impeller blades (19, 20). The propeller (24) is disposed in a vessel (30) having an enlarged cross-section with respect to the pump housing (11), and anti-rotation vanes (33, 34) are placed about the propeller in the vessel to prevent rotation of the suspension, so that it is fed by the propeller towards the blades (18).</p> |
