An intake filter including a cylindrical screen assembly and a drive unit; where the drive unit is attached to the intake filter and configured to rotate the screen assembly about a longitudinal axis of said screen assembly, such that the drive unit lies entirely outside the volume of the screen assembly.

A rake system and method may include a framework, a chain, an elongated rail, a support arm, and an engagement feature. The elongated rail may be pivotably connected to the framework. The support arm may be connected to the elongated rail at a first point and may be pivotably connected to the framework at a second point. The engagement feature may be connected to the support arm and may be configured to engage the chain. The rake system may be configured to discard debris.

An apparatus for the separation of dry matter and liquid from a medium includes: a plurality of press rollers and at least one pore roller, at least one separation chamber for receiving the medium, and at least one filtrate chamber defined in cross section by press rollers and the at least one pore roller. The apparatus is configured for establishing a relative negative pressure inside the pore roller interior, such that liquid in the medium is sucked into the pore roller interior, and for roller rotation such that during separation operation dry matter of the medium initially passes between the pore roller and a press roller when transferring from the separation chamber to the filtrate chamber, and subsequently passes between two press rollers, when exiting from the filtrate chamber.

A seesaw-type feeding device for collecting solid materials suspended in a flow field includes a suspension assembly, a material collection assembly, a joint hinge, two anti-collision blocks and an escapement shaking assembly, wherein the latter three of which are located between the suspension assembly and the material collection assembly. The suspension assembly includes a V-shaped floating body and at least three fixed bottom anchors. The material collection assembly includes a collection pocket net, a material container, a delivery part, and an annular water discharging screen mesh. The escapement shaking assembly is located behind the V-shaped floating body and faces the material collection assembly. The material collection assembly is able to shake relatively to the fluid in the flow field, and the escapement shaking assembly drives the material collection assembly to shake.

In the management of a facility pumping water from a natural environment containing impurities, the facility makes use of at least one rotary filter purifying the pumped water while some impurities at least partially clog the rotary filter. In particular, provision is made for estimating an evolution over time of a pressure loss caused by impurities clogging the rotary filter, based at least on data relating to the natural environment, dimensions of the rotary filter, and local measurements relating to at least one water level N.sub.amont upstream of the filter and to a flow rate of water Q.sub.aspiré drawn in downstream of the filter. Such an estimate of the evolution over time of the pressure loss makes it possible to anticipate possible risks of insufficient water supply to the pumping system (POM) downstream of the filter (FIL), or even to design filters (FIL) adapted to the needs of specific pumping facilities.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber discfilter, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a fiber discfilter with a means of forming grooves on a surface of filter cloths, the fiber discfilter being configured such that foreign substances in a deep part of a filter cloth having bristles as well as foreign substances on a surface of the filter cloth may be smoothly captured during a process of filtering inflow water, and all the foreign substances captured on the surface part and in the deep part of the filter cloth may be smoothly removed during a cleaning process by a cleaning means. The present disclosure provides a fiber discfilter including a groove forming means for forming a groove in a surface of a filter cloth, the fiber discfilter including: a filter unit configured such that a plurality of filter segments each having front and rear surfaces on which filter cloths each having a surface provided with bristles are installed is installed on an outer portion of a drum so that inflow water is filtered by being introduced into the filter segments while passing through the filter cloths; a cleaning means configured to remove foreign substances captured in the filter cloths; and a groove forming means disposed to be positioned at the periphery of the filter unit and having a plurality of protrusions configured to be inserted into the surface of the filter cloth and form grooves in the surface of the filter cloth when the filter unit rotates, such that foreign substances on the surface of the filter cloth and foreign substances in a deep part of the filter cloth are uniformly captured during a process of filtering the inflow water, and the foreign substances captured in the deep part of the filter cloth are exposed during a process of cleaning the filter cloth, such that the foreign substances captured in the deep part are smoothly removed.

A system and method for a vibrating paint strainer stand that enables the user to effectuate the flow of paint through a paint strainer by vibration whereby the paint strainer is positioned in a paint strainer holder on the stand such that one or more vibration motors attached on a neck opposite of the holder can provide vibration to the paint strainer.

Hydro excavation vacuum apparatus that process spoil material onboard the apparatus by separating water from the cut earthen material are disclosed.

A filtering device for filtering molten plastic material that employs a filtration mesh belt that enters and exits a chamber, engaging an outer surface of a hollow perforated cylinder inside of the chamber, without losing any molten plastic material during the replacement of the filtration mesh belt and without tearing even when operating at high pressures inside of the chamber.
