Abstract:
1. A method for feeding cellulose-containing pulp from a dewatering unit for dewatering pulp, the dewatered pulp from the dewatering unit being discharged via an outlet, included in the dewatering unit, to a reception means for receiving the dewatered pulp, which reception means is positioned below the outlet, whereupon the pulp is transported from the reception means to a stand pipe via an inlet included in the stand pipe, in which stand pipe the pulp falls freely under the influence of gravity, the reception means being positioned at a higher level than the inlet of the stand pipe, wherein at least one feeding down surface is arranged which extends from the reception means to the inlet of the stand pipe, in that the transport of the pulp between the reception means and the inlet of the stand pipe is effected by feeding the pulp downwards along and on this feeding down surface under the influence of gravity, and in that the pulp is diluted by adding dilution fluid during the feeding of the pulp downwards along and on the feeding down surface.
