The invention is a continuous gutter guard manufacturing process and a one-piece gutter guard article made therefrom which crimps a wire mesh filtration screen within the recesses of upper and lower supports of the one-piece gutter guard article. The wire mesh filtration screen has no underlying support, which is characteristic of a one-piece gutter guard construction. The upper and lower edges of the mesh filtration screen remain in a planar, non-embossed state, such that any ridges or patterns embossed into the screen do not follow into the portion of the screen that is crimped within the upper and lower supports of the gutter guard. This construction prevents the formation of debris pockets which can significantly reduce the performance of a one-piece gutter guard.

A device and method for removing debris from a process fluid are described herein. Specifically, a sanitary disc strainer includes a strainer body, a moveable guide rod assembly, moveable within the strainer body, a plurality of grooved discs stacked on the moveable guide rod assembly, and an actuator for moving the moveable guide rod assembly to compress and decompress the plurality of grooved discs.

Provided is a filter apparatus, comprising two or more filter cartridges having a first end with an inlet and screen and a second end with an outlet and screen, and walls to contain a filter media held in a housing for holding the two or more filter cartridges in about the same orientation, and an attachment clamp connected to the housing. Also provided is a housing for holding two or more filter cartridges in about the same orientation and a method of using the filter apparatus and housing.

A wastewater filter assembly has a base, a filter module or casing, modular filter plates disposed in said filter module or casing atop the base, a header disposed on the filter module, tie rods each coupled at a lower end to the base, and tensioning elements removably connected to upper ends of the tie rods to fix the tie rods to the filter module and press the filter plates into relative rigid relationship. The tie rods are disposed in laterally open elongate channels extending along vertical edges of the filter module. The tie rods, upon a loosening or removal of the respective tensioning elements, can be shifted at least partially in a horizontal direction out of the laterally open elongate channels and laterally away from the filter module.

Provided is a filter apparatus, comprising two or more filter cartridges having a first end with an inlet and screen and a second end with an outlet and screen, and walls to contain a filter media held in a housing for holding the two or more filter cartridges in about the same orientation, and an attachment clamp connected to the housing. Also provided is a housing for holding two or more filter cartridges in about the same orientation and a method of using the filter apparatus and housing.

Also provided is a housing for holding two or more filter cartridges in about the same orientation and a method of using the filter apparatus and housing.

A filtration vessel, having within constituent filter media is formed using plastic injection molding to meet the interior specifications of a high-pressure filtration encasement system while remaining a separate replaceable component. The encasement system supports and encases walls of the filtration vessel enabling the vessel to be designed with sufficient strength and resiliency to form a seal and constrain filter media prior to and after use without necessitating construction to endure independent high-pressure operations. The bottom or base of the vessel includes a plurality of holes through which the filtrate may flow. Interposed between the base of the vessel and the filter media is a semi-permeable barrier imbedded into the injection molded walls and base of the vessel. The barrier prevents residue from contaminating the filtrate.
