Model 3500XD Air Removal System Model 3500XD 4 Without effective air removal, medium consistency pumps will not operate reliably. The efficient air removal system of the Model 3500XD and the simple degas system result in easy operation and very low maintenance. X-Ducer agitates pulp to assist flow into pump inlet. X-Ducer also separates air from water and fiber. X-Ducer utilizes conventional technology to concentrate air in core and prepare it for removal. Fiber and water move to the periphery of the X-Ducer, then is picked up by the impeller vanes. The air is concentrated near the center...
