A device for filtering oil, including: a tank including an oil inlet and a cover; an at least one removable plate, inside the tank, that can be removed from the tank via the upper opening of the cover. The at least one plate removably receives filtering cartridges. The plate is hollow, forming a collector for the oil filtered by the cartridges of the plate. The plate includes an outlet for filtered oil removably connected to a corresponding outlet of the tank via a connector. The connection includes a first portion rigidly connected to the plate and a second portion rigidly connected to the tank, that are capable of mutually cooperating via a seal in order to provide a sealed connection between the oil outlet of the plate, and the corresponding outlet of the tank, and in order to allow maintenance operations to be performed without intervening in the tank.

A diatomaceous earth filter cleaner for cleaning flex tubes attached to a tube sheet of a diatomaceous earth filter. The diatomaceous earth filter cleaner has a hollow tube, a blast jet housing, an inner diameter scrub brush, and a fitting at an end of the hollow tube for coupling a hose connected to a water supply. The hollow tube of the diatomaceous earth filter cleaner has a length with a first end and a second end for receiving a flex tube. The blast jet housing is attached to the first end of the hollow tube and comprises an angled lip and a restricted orifice formed by an inner circumference of the blast jet housing for receiving a flex tube. The inner diameter scrub brush is received within the inner circumference of the blast jet housing and has an orifice for cleaning an outer circumference of the flex tube.

Device for filtering rolling oil, including: a tank having an inlet for the oil to be filtered, as well as a lid having at least one plate element, or a plurality of plate elements, removably stacked in the internal volume of the tank, able to be removed from the tank via the upper opening of the lid, each of the plate elements removably receiving filtration cartridges, each of the hollow plate elements constituting a collector for oil filtered by the cartridges of said plate element, each of the plate elements comprising a filtered oil outlet removably connected to a corresponding outlet of the tank via a connector. According to the invention, there are between one and three plate elements, the total number of filtration cartridges of the device is between 500 and 3000 cartridges, and is suitable to allow a nominal filtration flow of between 1000 L/min and 4000 L/min.

A filter device for cleaning particulate contaminants from a fluid flow, includes a plurality of filter elements (34, 60) accommodated in filter chambers (12, 14, 32) as components of a joint filter housing (10) and grouped around a backwash device (20) having a piston accumulator (56) for receiving a backwash fluid. In the storage housing (64) of the piston accumulator, a piston (57) is guided in a longitudinally movable manner, is controlled by a pressure medium, and passes on the backwash fluid stored in the storage housing (64) on to at least one filter element (60) to be backwashed for cleaning purposes via a backwash device (20). The backwash device also discharges the backwash fluid from the filter device. A specific filter element as a bypass filter element (34) is selected from the plurality of filter elements (34, 60), and exclusively removes particles after a changeover device (18) has been actuated, while the other filter elements (60) are excluded from this removal process.

A measurement portion and an antenna are allowed to be provided in a filter device by simply mounting one member. An antenna unit that includes an antenna configured to communicate with an IC tag is provided in a vicinity of a first end face as one end of a case. A sensor is provided inside the case and a back side of the case with respect to the antenna unit.

A removable and replaceable end cap that selectively lockingly engages a seat ring of a filter housing. The end cap may include a flange that compresses a gasket member between the end cap and the seat ring to form a fluid tight seal therebetween. The end cap may include cam locking grooves that may each receive insertion of a protrusion of the seat ring, and which are structured for at least rotational displacement about the received protrusion as the end cap is rotated between locked and unlocked positions relative to the seat ring. The end cap may also include an opening that accommodates the passage of a fluid to a filter element. The filter element, which may be coupled to the end cap, may be adapted to remove particulate or contaminate from the received fluid.

A method for filtering solids from a slurry includes placing a filter assembly into a filtration tank containing the slurry. The filter assembly includes a plurality of filter cells each having a filter medium at an exterior and a cavity at an interior. The solids are filtered by moving the slurry through the filter mediums into the interiors of the filter cells to form a filter cake at the exteriors of the filter cells. The filter assembly is moved while applying a vacuum to the interiors of the filter cells through a vacuum transfer system including a mobile part and a stationary part. The mobile part moves along with the filter assembly and is sealed with respect to the stationary part.

The present invention discloses a rectangular shaped filter and coalescer elements and a vessel that houses a plurality of such rectangular shaped elements. Greater filtration or separation efficiency is provided due to increased number and alignment of rectangular shaped filter elements in the vessel. The rectangular shaped filter elements are also easy to replace.

A liquid filtration system comprising a filtration tank with: a separating roof on which are mounted groups of hoses fixed to respective support plates; a fluid distributor plate comprising a central portion without perforations, and a peripheral portion with a plurality of perforations, said distributor plate being located between the hoses and a lower inlet duct for the water to be filtered comprising an upper opening for supplying liquid to the holes near the central portion of the distributor plate and a lower opening for supplying liquid to the holes of the peripheral portion which are furthest from the central portion. The filter comprises a filter material, an outlet duct for the filtered water at the upper area of the tank, a regeneration circuit of the filter medium; a filter self-cleaning circuit and a control panel.

A modular filter element frame (10) and a filter element frame assembly (100, 150) are disclosed. The filter element frame (10) has an elongate body (12) with a central bore (14) extending axially through the body. In cross-section the body has at least three smooth-ended lobes (16) that extend radially therefrom. The lobes are angularly spaced about the central bore such that a longitudinally extending channel (18) is formed along the body between adjacent lobes. Each channel has a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures (20) extending into the central bore. Axially outer ends (24, 28) of the body are adapted to enable axial stacking thereof with like modular filter element frames to cooperatively form a filter element frame assembly (100, 150) with a required axial length. The assembly may receive a filter sleeve such that the sleeve extends at least partially along an outer periphery thereof.
