Abstract: A rotary pressure filter suitable for use in treatment of one or more of medical products or foodstuffs, the rotary pressure filter. The rotary pressure filter comprises a filter drum that can be rotated about an axis of rotation. The rotary pressure filter comprises a plurality of filter cells arranged along an outer circumference of the filter drum, with a housing surrounding the filter drum. A process space is formed between the filter drum and the housing. The rotary pressure filter comprises at least one separating element dividing the process space into a plurality of treatment zones. At least one treatment zone is associated with a housing connector via which one or more of fluid or suspension can be introduced into the respective treatment zone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary pressure filter module (100) which comprises a rotary pressure filter (200) having a plurality of supply lines (302, 318, 330) for supplying a suspension, washing medium, drying medium, and optionally other operating media to be filtered and having a plurality of discharge lines (314, 326, 348) for discharging mother filtrate, washing filtrate, and filter cakes, different sensor devices (306/308/310, 322/324, 334/336, 316, 328, 349) being assigned to the supply lines and the discharge lines, and adjusting devices also being assigned to the supply lines, the rotary pressure filter module (100) additionally comprising a control device (400) which is connected to the sensor devices and the adjusting devices.

Abstract: A spur gear transmission with at least two intermeshing spur gears the teeth of which are in meshing engagement with one another, and each of which are rotatable via an axis of rotation. The spur gear transmission has an enveloping wall which surrounds the two spur gears in circumferential direction and in the direction of the axes of rotation. The enveloping wall has an inner contour which is adapted to the outer diameter of the spur gears in such a manner that two annular gaps which merge into each other are formed between the enveloping wall and the spur gears. One annular gap respectively is arranged at least substantially concentrically with respect to a respective axis of rotation. The enveloping wall is formed by a two-part housing which is closed along a parting line and which has an upper part and a lower part.
