Abstract: A calendering system, especially for producing webs of steel cable carcass, comprises two extruders for feeding plasticized material, a device for delivering steel cables, a calender that is provided with two pairs of rollers which rotate in opposite directions, each of said pairs encompassing a working roller and a sheeting roller. The calendering system further includes slot dies which are disposed between the extruders and the pairs of rollers and extend into sheeting gaps located between the pairs of rollers. A working gap is embodied between the working rollers so as to receive calendered webs released by the pairs of rollers and the steel cables fed by the steel cable delivering device as well as to discharge the web of steel cable carcass.

Abstract: A filtering device for filtering solids from liquids or liquid-like materials comprising a housing within which a filter member is rotatably mounted. The filter member which is traversed radially by the material to be filtered, comprises an outer sleeve member, a fine filter sleeve, a support filter sleeve and an inner sleeve member or drum. The outer sleeve member includes bores which receive the material to be filtered and has an external surface which is cylindrical. The filtrate, that is to say, the liquid or liquid-like material, passes through the filter member into the interior of the drum and then travels axially along the drum to a discharge outlet. At least the fine filter sleeve and the support filter sleeve taper conically inwardly in a direction towards the outlet. The solid material remains in the bores.
