A filter device for the clarification of contaminated liquids includes a vessel configured to contain the liquid to be clarified. A first carrying disk is arranged within the vessel and is rotationally driven about a rotational axis. Mounting rods are attached to and extend generally perpendicular from the carrying disk. A plurality of filter modules including spaced apart filter elements extend generally parallel to the carrying disk. Each of the filter modules is rotationally fixed relative to the carrying disk at least in part by the mounting rods. The filter modules have a radially inward end spaced radially from the rotational axis of the carrying disk. The ends of the filter modules circumscribe a cavity within the vessel having a longitudinal axis corresponding to the rotational axis of the carrying disk. The cavity is configured such that a cleaning fluid medium from within the cavity flows radially out from said cavity and between the filter elements to clean the filter elements.

Filter device for the clarification of contaminated liquids

A filter device for the clarification of contaminated liquids includes a plurality of disk-shaped filter elements spaced apart from one another and combined into circular or polygonal filter modules. The filter elements are arranged rotatably about a horizontal axis in a vessel containing the unclarified liquid. The filtrate is capable of being discharged via the individual filter modules. The filter modules form centrally a cavity. The cavity on one side is closed by a carrying disk and on the other side is connected to the vessel via a suction-intake orifice. The cavity is connected operatively to a flow member in such a way that, via the suction-intake orifice, a flow can be generated in the unclarified liquid between the spaced-apart filter elements and avoids an adhesion of solids to the filter elements.
