Abstract: The invention relates to a filter device with a base frame, a substantially horizontal, disk-shaped filter pan, which is supported on the base frame such that it can be driven in a rotating manner, has a plurality of disk-segment-shaped filter cells and a pan hub, on which the filter cells are connected to inlet openings of the pan hub in order to drain off filtrate, and a control head which is provided with channels for discharging filtrate from the pan hub, wherein the control head is arranged in a torque-proof and axially movable manner below the pan hub and rests in a sealed manner against an underside of the pan hub. To implement an efficient filtration a pressure housing is provided, which encloses the filter pan and the control head in a pressure-sealed manner. Furthermore, a pressure unit is provided, with which an overpressure can be set in the pressure housing.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method are presented for the mechanical removal of moisture from a filter cake. Differential pressure causes the flow of a treatment fluid through the filter cake. The treatment fluid displaces liquid originally present in the filter cake to prevent cracking of the filter cake.
Abstract: In a process for the formation and removal of moisture from porous filter cake comprising individual solid particles on a filter medium by means of a fluid acting on the filter cake and which has a pressure difference compared with the filtrate behind the filter medium, the filter cake is economically freed from the suspension liquid by means of a differential pressure without or with only an insignificant fluid flow through the filter medium, in that a filter medium with a higher capillary intake pressure for the fluid than that of the filter cake is used and that a filtration pressure is applied to the fluid which is higher than the capillary intake pressure of the filter cake and equal to or smaller than the capillary intake pressure of the filter medium.
