l. SABLIK ROTARY DRUM FILTER Filed March 17, 1934 Patented Nov. 17, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application March 17, 1934, Serial No. 716,037. In Czechoslovakia and Germany March 20,
Claims.
The present invention relates to a rotary drum filter in which the drum filter surface is continuously subjected to a surplus pressure.
An embodiment of the invention is shown, by way of example, in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is an axial section.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section.
Figs. 3 to 6 illustrate details relating to the sealing of the pressure chamber.
Figs. '7 and 8 illustrate details of the bearings.
A filter drum 1 is encompassed by an endless filter cloth 2, and is located within a stationary pressure-tight casing 3 formed with an opening 25, the location of the said drum being such that on the periphery between the drum and the said casing a pressure chamber 5 is formed into which the liquid to be filtrated is continuously forced through one or a plurality of ports 4 provided in the said casing.
The filter cloth 2 rests on, and is fastened to, an endless wire gauze belt 21, which revolves positively with the drum, as indicated by an arrow (Fig. 2). The filter cloth with the deposit adhering thereto leaves the pressure space 5 of the casing 3 and is brought beneath a pressure roller 6, while the filtrate flows into the compartments I provided within the drum, and is discharged through pipes 8 and registering ports 9 formed in the drum hubs. Since seven eighths of the drum periphery are encompassed by the filter cloth, and are thus within the pressure space, the Very best utilization of the filter surface is rendered possible.
On leaving the drum, the deposit is subjected to another filtering pressure exerted by the pressure roller 6, and,'while resting on the filter cloth, is moved to the taking-off roller I0 whence it drops, that is, is removed. On its way to the guide roller l I, the filter cloth is rinsed or swilled by means of a water ejector device I1, and cleansed by means of a pressure air blast I8.
From the guide roller H, the endless filter cloth is carried to the roller l2, whereupon it will again encompass the filter drum, and then be moved into the pressure chamber 5.
The sealing of the places where the filter cloth leaves or, respectively, enters the pressure casing is achieved through pressure roller 6 and roller l2 respectively. Each of t ese rollers is, on its periphery, provided with a jacket made of some suitable resilient material, and is supported by a bearing I3 (Fig. '7) provided with a pressure spring adapted to adjust the pressing action on the drum of the respective roller,
whereby the thickness of the deposit cake is also controlled.
The section of the drum surface between the rollers Band I2 is on the outside of the pressure casing. The sealing in a radial direction, that is, the lateral pressure-tight joint of the space between the casing front face and the drum front face is effected by a packing strip 2| (Figs. 3 and 4) located within a casing 22. Spaced adjustable pressure springs M are provided within the said casing, which springs press the packing strip against the drum front face.
The sealing between the casing 3 and the rollers 6 and I2 respectively at a and b (Fig. 2) is effected in -a similar way. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the packing strip 26, which is also located within an iron sheet casing, applies pressure to the rollers. Equally, spaced pressure springs are arranged. on the casing. Roller Ill, from which the cake is removed, is provided with an adjustable bearing l9 (Fig. 8) to render the tensioning of the filter cloth possible.
Rotary pressure drum filters according to the present invention present substantial advantages over suction cell filters. By working with surplus pressure, it is possible to obtain a solid deposit of greater thickness and fairly dry condition, due to which subsequent drying will not be required in most cases. The deposit will drop, by itself, off the sieve, and heat consumption for subsequent working-up will be less.
A further advantage will be found in the high efiiciency of the apparatus in proportion with the surface unit of the filter surface, which shows favorably in the low prime cost. The space required is very small in comparison with other filter plants.
Power consumption is particularly little, since there is no expenditure of energy such as is the case in suction cell filters, for dead suction and replenishing of the cells.
The apparatus described can be used, to particular advantage, in the manufacture of cement,
sugar or paper.
