If the bagasse is reclaimed from moist or
wet bulk storage mechanically, the
bagasse is fed to a wet depithing system
similar to that used for baled bagasse
but without a bale breaker. If the
bagasse is slushed and transported from
storage hydraulically. the slushing and
pumping releases the residual pith. and
all that is required ahead of the
digesters is a trap or a riffler to
remove stones and sand. and a screen to
effect the wet depithing by draining off
the transport water and pith.
