A rotary dust screen for a cooling unit of an agricultural vehicle includes a frame having a ring shape, wherein a dust screen is mounted in the frame and wherein the frame includes a seal extending along the ring and comprising a lip adapted to abut, when the rotary dust screen is mounted on the cooling unit, against a housing of the cooling unit to prevent contaminants from entering the cooling unit at an edge of the dust screen, wherein the rotary dust screen further has a driving belt adapted to be driven by a rotary actuator to rotate the dust screen, wherein the driving belt engages with the rotary dust screen at an outer surface of the seal.

Fluid filtration devices and methods of filtering fluids are described. The devices generally include a housing and an annular filter assembly, wherein the filter assembly is located inside the housing and comprises a filter material. The filter material may be, for example, an electroformed nickel screen having a smooth working surface and expanding pores. A rotating cleaning assembly comprising a distributor and wipers may be located inside the filter assembly.

The air-particle separation system is a dust handler that includes a main body with a misting module mounted thereon. The misting module includes air input pipes for receiving air with particles and a misting nozzle for soaking the particles within the air stream. The water particles and air are directed downwardly into a screen basket that is supported in a first chamber. A screen purging nozzle removes any particles stuck to the screen. Air is pulled through the system by a suction fan. An optional high-pressure fan may also be provided. The water, the water-soaked particles, and the air exit the screen basket and enter the first chamber and a second chamber. Air is removed from the chambers through the fan(s), while a drain in the bottom of the chambers drains the water and particles.

A system for removing particulate matter from an exhaust gas includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a drum region between the inlet and the outlet. A drum is rotatably mounted in the drum region of the housing and is aligned with the inlet and the outlet for intercepting the exhaust gas stream passing through the housing. The drum has a cylindrical shaped screen that allows the exhaust gas stream to pass through the drum while collecting the particulate matter present in the exhaust gas stream. As the screen rotates, a scraper removes the particulate matter collected on the screen. A spray fixture located inside the drum sprays fluid at the inner surface of the screen to removes any particulate matter remaining on the screen after the outer surface of the screen has been scraped.

A filter apparatus including: a casing including, in a sealed space provided therein, a fluid inflow chamber, a filtration chamber and a drain chamber; a filter element provided inside the filtration chamber to let a fluid pass therethrough from inside to outside to perform filtration; a backwash slide member movably provided inside the filter element and removing trapped matter adhering to an inner circumferential surface of the filter element by an inward flow generated by a difference in pressure inside and outside the filter element at the time of backwashing; a backwash pipe that lets the inward flow flow toward the drain chamber; an actuation cylinder that lets the fluid from the backwash pipe flow toward the drain chamber; and a fluid flowing unit allowing a fluid to flow, enabling a piston member to move inside the actuation cylinder.

The filtering apparatus includes: a casing having an inlet for a fluid from the outside and an outlet for the fluid having filtered therein; filter elements having opposite-end openings, provided in the casing, and each filtering the fluid by allowing the fluid to flow therethrough in inside-to-outside directions; backwashing pipes sequentially connected to the opposite-end openings at different timings between the opposite-end openings of each filter element so as to backwash the filter element by allowing the fluid to flow therethrough in outside-in directions; removers each axially moved in the corresponding filter element by the filtration or backwashing flow, while sliding in contact with the inner periphery of the filter element so as to remove trapped objects; and a backwashing fluid drain pipe coupled to the discharge side of the backwashing pipes and allowing the trapped objects removed by each remover to be discharged to the outside.

A separator for a cleaning device, the separator comprising: a housing that encloses a separating volume, the housing comprising an inlet for receiving a fluid flow containing entrained debris into the separating volume, and an outlet for discharging a filtered fluid flow output from the separating volume; a filter screen disposed on or in the housing to define part of a boundary of the separating volume, the filter screen being configured to retain the debris in the separating volume while allowing air to exit the separating volume to flow to the outlet; and a cleaning conduit configured to convey fluid towards the filter screen, the cleaning conduit comprising a jet-forming outlet that is configured to direct a fluid jet at or across the filter screen to remove debris attached to the filter screen.

A screening device and a self-propelled harvester with a screening device. The screening device includes at least one suction nozzle that has an elongated hollow body with at least one suction opening which extends sectionally in the longitudinal direction and transverse direction of the hollow body, and is connected by at least one air duct in the interior of the hollow body to a connection arranged in the hollow body for connecting to a vacuum source. The suction opening is positioned facing a screen of the screening device. The air duct has a cross-sectional shape that increases in the vertical direction toward the connection starting from an outer end of the suction nozzle. An inner contour facing the suction opening of the air duct has a contour that substantially corresponds to an airfoil.
