Claim 10:
11. A method of separating pulp slurry into two outflows using a paper pulp pressure screen including a casing, the method including:
receiving the pulp slurry into an input end of a pipe member of the casing;
directing the pulp slurry into a cavity of a basket along a length of the basket, the basket being defined by filtering media housed within a leg member of the casing, the leg member extending outward at an angle from the pipe member thereby defining a y-configuration of the casing;
driving a motor connected to a rotor including a plurality of blades housed within the basket of the leg member to continuously rotate the blades thereby preventing contaminants of the pulp slurry not able to pass through the filtering media from accumulating on the filtering media;
separating the pulp slurry by the basket into a filtered pulp slurry outflow which is pulp slurry passing through the filtering media, and a contaminant outflow which includes the contaminants of the pulp slurry not able to pass through the filtering media but that pass through an opening not including the filtering media;
continuously outputting the filtered pulp slurry outflow through a first output end of two output ends of the casing; and
continuously outputting a contaminant outflow through a second output end of the two output ends.
