Hydrapulper
 When
the bales of wood pulp or waste paper arrive at the paper mill they are loaded
onto a conveyor and passed into a circular tank containing water. This has a
very powerful agitator at the bottom which breaks up the bales into small
pieces.
The pulp mass
created begins to look like thick porridge. This machine is known as a
Hydrapulper. It operates automatically and when the disintegrating process is
complete it discharges the pulp into large storage tanks.
Hydrapulpers used mainly for handling waste paper are fitted with special
devices for removing unwanted contraries such as wire, plastic, paper clips,
staples etc.
