Abstract: In the particular embodiment of the invention described in the specification, a plate pack for an inclined plate separator has plate support members forming the side walls of the separator in which the separation plates are received in grooves formed by converging tongues. The support members are releasably joined together edge to edge by a bead projecting from one edge of the support member and a groove formed in the adjacent edge of the next supporting member.
Abstract: The representative web presses disclosed in the specification include a press drum and a pair of webs to convey a suspension partly around the press drum and two pressure belt means for applying substantially constant pressure against the outer web in the direction radial to the drum along pressure paths which are spaced so as to be substantially symmetrical with respect to the press drum.
Abstract: Arrays of baffles are disposed in apparatus for distributing a composite liquid to the separation passages of a multi-plate laminar separation apparatus to decelerate the influent composite liquid and repeatedly deflect its direction of flow such that it is uniformly distributed to the separation passages in the apparatus.
Abstract: In the embodiments of the web press disclosed in the specification, a pair of webs carries suspension material partly about a series of press drums of decreasing diameter in a first pressing section. One of the webs carrying the suspension material passes to a second press section where a further web replaces the other of the pair of webs to provide the inner web in a path around a press drum. Increased pressure is applied by a pressure belt to the webs as they pass around the press drum in the second pressing section.
