Rotary digesters aredischarged by blowing off pressure until the heads can be re- Baffle. -Discharge PijjeFig. i6. Blow Tank or Separator moved and then emptying the contents by revoKang the digesters are emptied by blowing the entire chargeunder full pressure through a pipe leading from the bottom ofthe digester to a blow pit or some form of steam separator. Avery satisfactory dcNdce of this sort is shown in Fig. i6. Thestock enters tangentially at such high speed that it hugs the WASH PITS IIQ wall of the separator while the steam escapes to the center andout through the ventilator. On blowing the charge the sud-den release of pressure causes violent evolution of steam fromthe moisture in the chips and this, together with the mechanicalaction of passing through the discharge pipe, causes completedisintegration into the fibrous state. The blowing of a digester causes a very large waste of has been estimated that in blowing a digester thereescape into the atmosphere 34,400 lbs. of steam within a perio
