ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for continuously separating a solid fraction from a liquid fraction in a mixture of such fractions has a stationary cylindrical vessel which is filled with the mixture and confines a rotary carrier as well as a battery of parallel disc-shaped filters mounted on and rotating with the carrier. The filters define internal chambers for separated liquid fraction and have foraminous walls which flank the respective chambers and intercept the solid fraction. The intercepted solid fraction is removed by stationary devices having receptacles immersed in the mixture, defining internal compartments for solid fraction and carrying sealing elements which prevent penetration of mixture from the internal space of the vessel into the compartments. The separated liquid fraction is evacuated fom the vessel through a channel in the carrier, and the solid fraction is evacuated from the internal compartments by suction and/or mechanically. Each stationary device has one or more inlets which serve for advancement of intercepted solid fraction from the foraminous walls of the respective filters into the respective compartments, and each such inlet extends from the radially innermost portion to the radially outermost portion of the respective foraminous wall.
