Various implementations include a self-cleaning screen device including a screen and auger. The screen is a hollow cylinder and has a screen central axis, a screen inner surface, a screen outer surface opposite and radially spaced apart from the screen inner surface, a screen first end, and a screen second end opposite and axially spaced apart from the screen first end. The screen outer surface defines a plurality of openings extending radially to the screen inner surface. The auger is helically shaped and has an auger central axis, an auger first end, and an auger second end opposite and axially spaced apart from the auger first end. The auger is disposed around at least a portion of the screen outer surface such that the auger central axis and the screen central axis are coincident with each other. The auger is rotatable about the auger central axis relative to the screen.

An assembly (1) for filtering water comprising: a filter (10) forming a permeable receptacle for fluid to be filtered, an actuating inlet (300) for providing a stream of water, a filter fluid inlet (302) for providing fluid to be filtered to the filter (10), and, a rotatable cleaning structure (20) for cleaning the filter (10), wherein the structure (20) comprises at least one scraper (201) extending along and substantially abutting a first surface (101) of the filter (10), the scraper (201) being rotatable with respect to the first surface (101) of the filter (10), and wherein the structure (20) further comprises at least one rotatable element (250) arranged for receiving the stream of water, the stream of water being receivable in, and filterable by, the filter (10) and wherein the element (250) is rotationally engaged with the scraper (201) such that the stream of water providing a rotational force to the element (250), rotates the scraper (201) with respect to the first surface (101) of the filter.

A method for producing a screen body for a screen used in a screw press, which screen body comprises one or more openings on a screen surface. In order to achieve a particularly long service life, it is provided that the screen body is formed by a sintering process and/or an additive manufacturing process, in particular a 31) printing process. Further embodiments include a screen, in particular for a screw press, having a screen body Which has openings on a screen surface.

A filtering system (10) includes a casing (12) internally defining a cavity (14) and has an inlet (16) configured to receive a fluid and leading into the cavity (14), and an outlet (18) configured to deliver the fluid coming from the cavity (14). A filtering assembly (100) is contained in the cavity (14) and is configured to be crossed by the fluid entering the casing (12) through the inlet (16), so as to trap any solid particles, in particular microplastic ones, contained in the fluid. A compacting assembly (200) situated in the cavity (14) is configured for collecting and compacting the solid particles trapped by the filtering assembly (100). A driving assembly (300) is configured to drive the compacting assembly (200).

An apparatus for removing debris from water in a channel includes a bar screen assembly having a plurality of spaced apart, elongated filter bars arranged in a parallel relationship. A continuous conveyor carries a plurality of rakes. Each rake includes a plurality of spaced-apart tines interdigitated with the filter bars as the rake is moved along the filter bars by the conveyor to remove debris from the bar screen assembly. A conveyor belt retaining system includes at least one guide engaging an upstream side of an inner run of the conveyor and a counterweight connected to the at least one guide for biasing the inner run in a downstream direction.

A laminated spiral dewatering equipment, including a filtration cavity, a spiral shaft, a driving device and multiple supporting plates. The supporting plates are configured to support and position the filtration cavity, the spiral shaft and the driving device. The spiral shaft is penetratedly arranged in the filtration cavity. The filtration cavity includes a first closed ring piece group and a second closed ring piece group. A primary driving rod of the driving device is arranged above the filtration cavity, and is configured to drive an upper end of the first closed ring piece group to circumferentially reciprocate, and a lower end of the first closed ring piece group to perform a up-down reciprocating linear motion.

A filter assembly and method of filtering wastewater from a washing machine. The filter has a framework for supporting a first filter stage and a second filter stage, a connection on a top of the filter assembly for connecting to a wastewater stream, a diffuser positioned to extend into the first filter stage and configured to rotate about a vertical axis of installation within the first filter stage, and a second filter stage below the first filter stage and configured to receive overflow from the first filter stage. The filter assembly does not include a motor or motorized parts and wherein the diffuser is rotatable by way of the force of the wastewater stream fed into the first filter stage to diffuse the wastewater stream and to spray the wastewater onto and through the filter media allowing the filter media to catch debris within the first filter stage.

Improved systems and methods for cleaning a filter are described, including apparatuses that include a built-in mechanism for cleaning a filter screen. The system can include a brush mounted in contact with a filter screen, adapted so that the brush can be moved to clean the filter screen. In some versions, the brush rotates with an axis of rotation perpendicular to a plane defined by a substantially planar filter screen. In other versions, the brush is adapted to be moved by a gravitational force along a surface of a filter screen upon removal of a pump housing from a pump well. In still other versions, a substantially cylindrical brush is mounted nested with a substantially semi-cylindrical filter screen, and the brush can be rotated while in contact with the filter screen and with an axis of rotation aligned with a longitudinal axis of the filter screen.

The present development is a septic tank or wastewater treatment tank outlet filter cleaning device. More specifically, the device is an outlet filter cleaner for a slotted filter used to reduce solid waste transfer into a septic tank effluent. The device comprises a central shaft with at least one cleaning disc, wherein the cleaning disc comprises a body which is mounted on the shaft and wherein a plurality of fingers protrude from the body, preferably in locations substantially identical to the positions of the openings in the wall of the tube.
