Patent number: 4379051Abstract: A substantially cylindrical filter chamber having a lower horizontal bottom plate, a side wall and an upper horizontal bottom plate, is divided into two compartments having a bottom plate and a side wall by a planar horizontal support fabric. In each compartment, a movable wall is associated with the bottom plate, the movable wall being adapted to reduce the volume of the respective compartment to approximately zero. The support fabric serves as a carrier for a precoat filter layer and is clamped along a ring-shaped, preferably reinforced, rim region between the adjacent faces of said side walls. Further, each movable wall is also clamped along a ring-shaped rim region between the side wall and the adjacent bottom plate of the compartment.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1981Date of Patent: April 5, 1983Assignee: InkomagInventors: Edwin Hiesinger, Klaus Keplinger, Hermann Nessler

Patent number: 4367150Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for the filtering of a fluid in which a filter-aid agent of a particulate or fibrous character is floated onto and deposited upon a support fabric in a fluid. The medium to be filtered is then passed through the filter layer formed by this filter aid. The fabric divides the filter chamber into two compartments both of which are flushed with washing liquid which is discharged from the upstream compartment after back-washing through the fabric. During the filtration, a loss of the purified filtrate and a mixture with nonfiltered medium is precluded in that both compartments, after the filtering and cleaning phases, are completely discharged of fluid. The back-washing of the fabric is effected with another fluid.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1981Date of Patent: January 4, 1983Assignee: InkomagInventors: Edwin Hiesinger, Klaus Keplinger, Hermann Nessler

The back-washing of the fabric is effected with another fluid. The complete discharge is effected in the direction of flow of each medium through the respective compartment.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1979Date of Patent: October 27, 1981Assignee: InkomagInventors: Edwin Hiesinger, Klaus Keplinger, Hermann Nessler
