A filtering device includes a filter tank, a first drum filter both ends of which are supported, and a cantilever second drum filter. A first end portion of the first drum filter is supported on a first sidewall of the filter tank. A second end portion of the first drum filter is supported on a second sidewall. An end portion of the second drum filter on the supported side is supported on the first sidewall. Between an end portion of the second drum filter on the non-supported side and the second sidewall, a communicating part is formed. A first jetting section jets a fluid against an outer circumferential surface of the first drum filter. A second jetting section is arranged in the vicinity of the second drum filter and jets the fluid against the second drum filter.

A vacuum belt filter including a belt with a plurality of vacuum boxes, filter means being arranged to the vacuum boxes, drive means for moving the belt, and a suction station for creating an underpressure to the vacuum boxes at the suction station. In order to enable liquid-solid separation at low energy costs and long service interval of the vacuum belt filter, the filter means is in the form of a capillary filter, each vacuum box being provided with such a filter and each vacuum box being provided with an outlet having a check valve enabling a fluid flow from the inside space of the vacuum box to the outside of the vacuum box for creating an underpressure in the vacuum box when the suction station is connected to the vacuum box.

A continuous belt screen assembly and system used for filtering fluid for various municipal and industrial purposes. The assembly includes a pair of spaced, endless belts, lifters, and screen panels. Each lifter is operably mounted to the pair of belts for lifting of solid waste out of the fluid in the channel. Each of the screen panels can be interposed between lifters and secured in place by opposing slots defined by the lifters. The endless belts can include toothed drive links, with the ends of the teeth extending with the ends of the drive links to define an involute profile. The lifters can include a sleeve portion for receiving a pivot shaft and a paddle portion extending from the sleeve portion, terminating at a free end that can be contoured to have teeth. The lifters can be a flexible material configured to deflect.

The invention relates to a separation device for removing objects from a water flow, comprising a separation screen and a channel which forms an inlet and an outlet for the separation screen, wherein, during operation, a head water having a head water level can be provided in the inlet upstream of the separation screen and a tail water having a tail water level can be provided in the outlet downstream of the separation screen, wherein the outlet comprises an outlet cross-section for the water flow. The separation device is characterised by a damming body, which can be adjusted via an actuator, for immersion into the outlet, said damming body being able to be adjusted at least between a first position and a second position, wherein the outlet cross-section is smaller in the first position and the outlet cross-section is larger in the second position, and comprising a control device, wherein the control device includes a first operating mode, in which the flow rate in the area of the separation screen is increased by bringing the damming body from the first position to the second position, wherein the control device includes a second operating mode, in which the flow rate in the area of the separation screen is changed by bringing the damming body from the second position to a third position, wherein the outlet cross-section in the third position is smaller or larger than in the second position, and wherein the control device is configured to automatically activate the first and/or the second operating mode. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a separation device.

A screening device having screening panels which are oriented transversely to the flow direction of a stream of liquid and each have a screening surface and form a circulating continuous screening belt which can be immersed in the stream of liquid. The successive screening panels form a common screening surface in the sluice channel, wherein the circulatory motion of the continuous screening belt is kept substantially completely within a single plane. The pivot axes about which the screening panels are pivoted at return points of the continuous screening belt are perpendicular to the common screening surface. The screening surfaces of the screening panels have a plurality of recesses and/or elevations running adjacent to one another over the screening surface.

The present discloses a waste screening apparatus comprising: a main body; a waste screener vertically and tiltedly disposed in the main body to screen wastes in the input water and to allow waste-removed water to be discharged through water discharge holes defined in both side faces of the main body respectively, wherein the waste screener vertically circulates in a conveyor manner, wherein the input water is input to a front, rear and bottom of the waste screener; wherein the main body includes: both side walls having the water discharge holes defined therein respectively to allow waste-removed water to be discharged out from the waste screener therethrough; and a rear blocking wall disposed at a rear of the waste screener to be spaced from the waste screener, wherein the input water passes through front and rear portions of the waste screener with wastes being removed from the input water, and, then, is discharged out through the water discharge holes defined in the both side walls respectively.

Disclosed is a system for removing and collecting finely cut chips. The system can scrape and collect cutting oil and finely cut chips accumulated under a cutting apparatus using a scraper moving in a predetermined direction, separately discharge and reuse only cutting oil using a holed plate having holes smaller than finely cut chips, and separately collect and handle only the finely cut chips collected by the scraper.
