  • Patent number: 10870073
    Abstract: A vacuum and/or pressure filtration device includes a filter drum defining a drum axis and it is supported rotatably around the drum axis. The filter drum includes an outer jacket, by which a plurality of filter cells are formed, which extend along the drum axis, which are arranged adjacent to each other all around the drum axis, and which are equipped on their outer side with a filter medium; and an inner jacket, which is arranged adjacent to the outer jacket, which has an inner jacket outer surface, which limits the filter cells radially inside such that by the inner jacket outer surface a plurality of draining surfaces are formed, on which the liquid passing through the respective filter medium during filtration of the suspension can drain as a filtrate. The filtration device filters a suspension having solid and liquid components.

  • Patent number: 10807024
    Abstract: A filter drum including: a drive shaft via which the filter drum is rotatably supportable and rotatably drivable; a filter drum body which is formed in a manner separated from the drive shaft, to which the drive shaft extends centrally and which filter drum body includes a first drum end wall, a second drum end wall, and a drum jacket wall which extends along the drive shaft between the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall and connects the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall to each other; and a first clamping ring set and a second clamping ring set, corresponding to the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall, respectively, by which, in a respective manner, the first drum end wall and the second drum end wall are, via radial clamping, fixedly connected to the drive shaft such that a driving torque applied to the drive shaft is correspondingly transmittable from the drive shaft to the first drum end wall and/or the second drum end wall and, thereby, to the filter drum body vi

  • Patent number: 5582726
    Abstract: A filter centrifuge has the drum, the drum shaft and its bearings mounted in a movable machine support, carriage or bearing member which rides on a rail of the base machine support or frame so that with a cover for an opening in the rear wall on which the filter housing is mounted, the assembly of drum, shaft and bearing can be withdrawn into the machine space. When the movable wall is in place, a clean room containing the filter housing and the processing chamber, is closed off from the machine space.
