  • Publication number: 20230356120
    Abstract: A filter bag for a rotary disk filter, which is used to filter wastewater, has a filter material with a mounting opening, via which the filter bag can be slipped over a support frame of the rotary disk filter during a mounting step in order to form a filter module. The filter material has an exit opening that is situated opposite the mounting opening and allows filtrate to exit the interior of the filter module into a central pipe of the rotary disk filter. A reinforcement is connected to the filter material at an edge delimiting the mounting opening and fixes the filter bag at the support frame. A filter module and a rotary disk filter are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11654381
    Abstract: A rotary disk filter has a central pipe and multiple filter disks arranged around and connected to the central pipe., wherein each filter disk includes multiple filter modules arranged adjacent to one another in the circumferential direction of the central pipe, each having a base frame and two filter elements, which include a filter surface connected to a filter frame. The base frame and the two filter elements delimit a cavity fluidically connected to the central pipe. The filter frames are detachably connected to both sides of the base frame, and removable from the base frame and replaceable with new filter elements. Each filter module is fixed at the central pipe with a threaded spindle independently of the remaining filter modules, wherein the threaded spindle extends through the filter module in the radial direction with respect to the central pipe.
