Abstract
A filtration system in which the filtering member is disposed on the circumferential surface of a drum shaped member. The drum shaped member is rotated at a constant velocity about a horizontal axis. A mixture of liquid and solids to be filtered is discharged under pressure within the drum shaped member against the surface of the filtering member. The liquid which filters through the screen is received in a reservoir, the level of which is maintained below the surface of the filtering member. The solids adhere to the surface of the filtering member and rotate therewith until dislodged into a hopper for subsequent discharge. Upon discharge from the drum shaped member, the solids can be compressed or made to travel an upwardly inclined path to drain excess liquid therefrom.
