ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a rotary drum filter wherein one or preferably two rotary drum filters are submerged in a tank of liquid to be filtered. Each rotary drum filter is comprised of a generally cylindrical tank having a perforated outer wall plate over which is applied a cloth type filter media. A suction pipe is included inside the rotary drum filter so that filtered liquid can be drawn into the rotary drum filter through the pressure differential established by the suction pipe. Clean filtered liquid exits the suction pipe to the industrial apparatus with which the filter apparatus is used. A backwash vacuum box extending generally the length of the rotary drum filter media is in contact with a portion of the rotary drum filter media. A partial vacuum is established in the vacuum box such that filtered liquid can be drawn outwardly from the rotary drum filter such that solids accumulated on the filter media are drawn off from the filter media thereby cleaning that section of the filter media. Drive means are provided to rotate the rotary drum filter so that the backwash vacuum box is exposed to the entire circumference of the rotary drum filter upon one complete revolution of the rotary drum filter.
