  • Patent number: 4190544
    Abstract: A filter element is provided for use with a pressure disc filter. The inventive filter element includes a metal plate having a concave surface. A washer is provided for mounting the metal plate within a pressure disc filter while orienting the concave surface so that it faces upwardly within the pressure disc filter. A clamping ring is provided for holding a filter material above the concave surface. The inventive concept also includes a synthetic resin shield composed of one or more parts and fastened to the concave surface of the metal plate so as to protect this surface of the metal plate against contact with corrosive substances.

  • Patent number: 4116842
    Abstract: A filtering apparatus comprises a housing defining a generally closed chamber in which is provided a hollow rotatable shaft that carries a plurality of filter elements. Each of these elements is formed as an upwardly dished fluid-impervious metal plate formed with a central hole through which the hollow shaft passes and having a concave upper face formed with an array of spaced-apart bosses. A fluid-pervious filter cloth lies on the plate directly against the bosses so as to be spaced from the plate between the bosses. A ring secured to the smooth edge of each plate secures the respective filter cloth in place.

  • Patent number: 3994813
    Abstract: A hollow upright shaft is surrounded at axially spaced locations by spacer rings. Intermediate these rings the shaft is surrounded by substantially horizontally oriented plate-shaped filter elements which rotate with the shaft. Each filter element has a liquid-impermeable annular plate the upper surface of which carries a filter material. The inner circumference of the plate is formed with a downwardly extending stepped collar which is received in the subjacent spacer ring and thus centers the filter element with reference to the ring and to the shaft. The latter has openings in its periphery through which filtered liquid can flow into the interior of the shaft, to be led away.
