In one example, a filtering device has a housing that defines an inlet opening, first and second bores with first and second pistons therein, respectively, first and second inlet channels that extend from the inlet opening to the first and second bores, respectively first and second outlet channels in communication with the first and second bores, respectively, and a first backflush channel. The first piston defines a filter cavity in fluid communication with the first inlet and outlet channels when the first piston is in a production mode. The second piston defines a filter cavity in fluid communication with the second inlet and outlet channels when the second piston is in the production mode. The device has a backflush valve that compresses fluid into the filter cavity of the first piston via the first backflush channel to increase pressure in the cavity during a backflushing operation.

A fluid cell for an assembly and for filtering oil includes a fluid cell housing with a housing opening and partly surrounds a housing interior, a housing cover attached releasably to the fluid cell housing for closing the housing opening, and a filter device arranged in the housing interior for filtering the oil, in which a filter element is arranged and which fluidically communicates with a raw oil line for conducting the oil to be filtered into the filter device and with a clean oil line for conducting the filtered oil out of the filter device. An oil reservoir is arranged in the housing interior for storing oil, which fluidically communicates with an oil reservoir line for conducting oil out of the oil reservoir, and a fluid cell valve device for closing and opening the raw oil line, the clean oil line, and the oil reservoir line.

Techniques for separating cuttings from liquid include circulating a drilling fluid that comprises a liquid and formation cuttings to a scree of a screen assembly that includes screen sections; vibrating the screen assembly during circulation of the drilling fluid; while vibrating the screen assembly, separating the liquid from the plurality of formation cuttings; while vibrating the screen assembly, separating a first portion of the formation cuttings of a first size from the drilling fluid with a first screen section; rotating the screen assembly; subsequent to rotating the screen assembly and while vibrating the screen assembly, separating a second portion of the formation cuttings of a second size different than the first size from the drilling fluid with a second screen section; directing the separated liquid through the screen assembly to a liquid outlet; and directing at least one of the first or second portions of the formation cuttings to a cuttings outlet formed in the screen.

A compact strainer having a small pressure loss which is easily cleaned without inserting and detaching screens in and from a strainer casing. Front and rear end portions of a tubular casing are respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet. A barrier divides in two a linear channel between the inlet and the outlet along a flowing direction and is provided on the outlet side so as to face the inlet. A filter portion surrounding the inlet is constituted by the barrier, a pair of screens laterally opposing each other and arranged at a predetermined interval are provided, and the upper and lower portions of an inner surface of an outer wall of the casing, and upper and lower regions of the outer wall are provided with opening portions with lids which make the inside of the filter portion communicate with the outside.

The invention relates to a method for increasing the wear resistance of a metal screen cloth made of wire, the method comprising treating a surface of a metal screen cloth by means of a thermochemical surface layer method for increasing the surface hardness and the wear resistance of metals, wherein the thermochemical surface layer method changes the structural conditions of the treated metal to a predetermined depth of penetration, wherein a hard surface layer is formed in the metal surface. A corresponding device and a screen cloth and a screen panel with increased wear resistance are also part of the invention.

A disposable dental waste filter device has a body having a receiving end, and a separable cap having a tip end, the body for receiving and capturing therein amalgam that enters into the body through the tip end and the separable cap. A disposable dental waste filter device also has a body having a receiving end, a central lumen for receiving and capturing amalgam, a filter, and a circular leg portion having an exterior channel, and a separable cap having a tip end, a circular outer rim having a circular end ridge portion with the ridge portion adapted to be inserted into the exterior channel of the body for a snap fit engagement between the cap and the body, the body for receiving and capturing therein amalgam that enters into the body through the tip end and the separable cap.
