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.

Abstract: A radial plain bearing having a plurality of tilting pads for supporting a shaft, the tilting pads being movable relative to the bearing housing and being arranged circumferentially around and at a distance from the bearing axis, whereby the tilting pads have an outer radial plain bearing surface that can be supported on a supporting surface of a pressure block provided in the bearing housing; wherein the pressure block is movably provided in a passage extending radially through the bearing housing and can move radially without being supported on the bearing housing, the pressure block is secured against rotation in the circumferential direction of the passage by way of an anti-rotation element, and at least part or all of a radial outer surface of the pressure block is located on a common cylinder surface with an outer diameter of the bearing housing or with a bushing surrounding the bearing housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodynamic machine, especially a hydrodynamic retarder, comprising two blade wheels which are opposite of one another in such a way that they jointly form a toroidal working chamber which can be filled with a working medium in order to hydrodynamically transfer torque by means of a cycle flow of the working medium in the working chamber from the first blade wheel to the second blade wheel, with the first blade wheel rotating about a rotation axis and the second blade wheel rotating about the same rotation axis in the same direction of rotation or opposite of the direction of rotation of the first blade wheel, or being held in a stationary manner. The invention is characterized in that at least one of the two blade wheels is subdivided in the region of its blades into at least two concentric rings.
