Abstract: A rotary disc filter device includes a rotary drum and one or more disc-shaped filter members secured about the drum. Each disc-shaped filter member includes a filter and a filter support comprising a series of modules. The modules each include a base that is secured to the rotary drum and a support arm projecting outwardly from the base. The modules are interconnected and disposed around the rotary drum.

Abstract: A rotary disc filter device includes a rotary drum and one or more disc-shaped filter members secured about the drum. Each disc-shaped filter member includes a filter disposed on opposite sides thereof and each disc-shaped filter member includes a modular frame made up, in part at least, by a series of interconnected modules. One module of the modular filter frame includes a base that is secured to the rotary drum and a support projecting outwardly from the base. A series of these modules are interconnected to form a modular filter frame.

Abstract: A rotary disk filter and a module for building a filter support for a rotary disk filter are disclosed. The rotary disk filter may comprise a drum, which is rotatable about its central longitudinal axis. The rotary disk filter may be adapted to receive a liquid which is to be filtered. In one implementation, the rotary disk filter may comprise at least one disk-shaped filter member which on the outside of the drum extends outwards in the transverse direction of the drum, and which has a filter support and at least one filter portion supported thereby. A first liquid duct may extend from the drum through the filter member and out through the filter portion. The filter portion may be made of filter segments, which are detachably secured to the filter support. At least one second liquid duct may extend between adjoining filter segments to provide liquid communication between the filter segments.

Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning a filter cloth in a filtering device with a rotatable drum having an inlet for the liquid to be filtered. The drum has in its circumferential surface openings through which the liquid to be filtered is conducted in a filtering direction out of the drum for filtering through a filter cloth. The cleaning apparatus includes at least one spray nozzle which is adapted to spray cleaning liquid onto a portion of the filter cloth in a direction opposite to the filtering direction. Moreover the apparatus comprises a driving device for providing a reciprocating motion of the spray nozzle. The driving device has a coupling which is adapted to transform the rotary motion of the drum into the reciprocating motion of the spray nozzle, with such a ratio that the rotary motion of the drum and the reciprocating motion of the spray nozzle are out of phase with each other.
