20100219118 | PRESSURE FILTER WITH VIBRATOR - The device according to the invention serves for classifying or concentrating liquids laden with fibres or solids by means of screening or filtration. For this purpose, a cylindrical fine screen is arranged in a vertical position in a housing comprising an axially cylindrical vibrator being somewhat smaller than the fine screen so as to produce an annular gap between the screen and the vibrator. In the vibrator, there is a vibration motor with imbalances, which generates circular horizontal oscillations. The liquid to be treated is introduced into the annular gap, primarily from above, and the concentrated liquid is removed at the bottom. The cleaned liquid is discharged between the screen and the wall of the housing. The feature of the invention is that the vibrator is mounted on at least three rubber elements which primarily allow the vibrator to perform a circular horizontal movement. However, by allowing the vibrator to move away vertically, these rubber elements also compensate for occurring vertical forces caused by unsymmetrical loads on the screen. | 09-02-2010 |
