  • Patent number: 11590515
    Abstract: A pusher centrifuge includes a rotatable filter drum having a drum body and a piston that are configured to be reciprocated axially relative to one another, a filter drum drive shaft rigidly connected to the filter drum, a hydraulic push mechanism for generating an axial oscillating push force and connected to the filter drum so as to cause the relative reciprocating movement between the piston and the drum body, a hydraulic pump including a pump input shaft and is in fluid connection with the hydraulic push mechanism, and a drive motor including at least one output shaft connected to the pump input shaft and the filter drum drive shaft to actuate both the pump input shaft and the filter drum drive shaft. The at least one output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the pump input shaft in a manner without an intervening gearbox, thereby forming a direct drive.

  • Patent number: 10870073
    Abstract: A vacuum and/or pressure filtration device includes a filter drum defining a drum axis and it is supported rotatably around the drum axis. The filter drum includes an outer jacket, by which a plurality of filter cells are formed, which extend along the drum axis, which are arranged adjacent to each other all around the drum axis, and which are equipped on their outer side with a filter medium; and an inner jacket, which is arranged adjacent to the outer jacket, which has an inner jacket outer surface, which limits the filter cells radially inside such that by the inner jacket outer surface a plurality of draining surfaces are formed, on which the liquid passing through the respective filter medium during filtration of the suspension can drain as a filtrate. The filtration device filters a suspension having solid and liquid components.

  • Patent number: 10807024
    Abstract: A filter drum including: a drive shaft via which the filter drum is rotatably supportable and rotatably drivable; a filter drum body which is formed in a manner separated from the drive shaft, to which the drive shaft extends centrally and which filter drum body includes a first drum end wall, a second drum end wall, and a drum jacket wall which extends along the drive shaft between the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall and connects the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall to each other; and a first clamping ring set and a second clamping ring set, corresponding to the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall, respectively, by which, in a respective manner, the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall are, via radial clamping, fixedly connected to the drive shaft such that a driving torque applied to the drive shaft is correspondingly transmittable from the drive shaft to the first drum end wall and/or the second drum end wall and, thereby, to the filter drum body vi

  • Patent number: 9004289
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a filter device for filtering out of solid substance from a solid-liquid-mixture, including a bearing shaft extending along a rotation axis; a rotation body detachable from the bearing shaft and supported by the bearing shaft to be rotatable about the rotation axis; one or more filter cells formed on the rotation body and each includes a filter structure attached to the rotation body for filtering out the solid substance and allowing the liquid to pass from an inlet side to an outlet side, and a connection channel formed in the rotation body and that extends from the outlet side to an outlet opening which is formed on an axial side of the rotation body in a radial distance to the rotation axis; and a control device having a structural control unit for providing a connection between the respective outlet opening and a plurality of lines.
