Abstract: A rotary filter for liquid/solid separation includes a trough for containing a suspension, and at least one disk non-rotatably connected to a main shaft. The at least one disk includes filter sectors that each include a structural element covered by a filter medium, and a duct connecting each filter sector to pipes arranged along the main shaft. The filter sectors include a first series separated from a second series. The main shaft includes first and second pipes that communicate with the first series and the second series, respectively. The rotary filter includes comb teeth arranged above a level of the suspension on either side of the at least one disk. The main shaft occupies a first angular position with the first series under the comb teeth and the second series above the comb teeth, and a second angular position with the second series under the comb teeth and the first series above the comb teeth.

Abstract: The invention proposes a rotary filter intended for liquid/solid separation of a suspension, comprising a trough, a spraying device, and at least one disk which is non-rotatably connected to a main shaft, characterized in that: each disk comprises a first series of at least one filter sector which is separated from a second series of at least one filter sector by means of two non-filtering zones, the main shaft comprises a first pipe which communicates with the first series of at least one filter sector of each disk, and a second pipe which communicates with the second series of at least one filter sector of each disk, said rotary filter comprises comb teeth. The invention also proposes a filtration method.
