AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, its application is limited to small volumes as it sags between the holding / pinching rollers, possibly causing the belt to stretch if the load is excessive
Also, it does not allow for a high hydrostatic head since the liquid can only fill up to the top of the V-bolt

Embodiment Construction

[0083] Figures 1 to 11 The first embodiment shown is directed to a belt filter apparatus 10 for processing material to separate solid and liquid components. The plant 10 of this embodiment is invented especially for the treatment of muddy materials such as sewage, the purpose of which is to dewater the muddy material to facilitate the recovery of solid matter for subsequent treatment. Of course, the belt filter device 10 can also have various other applications.

[0084] The apparatus 10 comprises an endless belt member 11 adapted to circulate around a path 12 provided with guide roller members 13 through which the belt member passes.

[0085] The endless belt member 11 comprises an elongated belt portion 15 formed from a sheet material, in particular a water permeable sheet material, such as a flexible filter mat material such as woven polypropylene. The belt portion 15 comprises two opposite longitudinal sides 17 , 18 . The belt portion 15 also comprises two interconnect...

Abstract

A belt filter apparatus (10) for treating material to separate solid and liquid components thereof. The apparatus (10) comprises an endless belt structure (11) adapted to circulate along a path (12) incorporating guide roller structures (13) around which the belt structure (11) passes. The endless belt structure (11) comprises an elongate belt portion (15) formed of water permeable material. The belt portion (15) has two opposed longitudinal edges (17, 18). The endless belt structure (11) further comprises a zipper (19) for releasably connecting the two longitudinal edges (17, 18) together so as to form a tubular structure (21) having a flexible side wall (22). The circulating path (12) includes an assembly zone (33) at which the longitudinal edges (17, 18) of the belt portion (15) are brought together and interconnected by way of the zipper (19) to form the tubular structure (21), and a disassembly zone (35) at which the zipper (19) is released to separate the longitudinal edges (17, 18) and the tubular structure (21) subsequently opened. Means (90, 110) are provided for compressing the tubular structure (21) along a portion thereof to express liquid from the material contained in the tubular structure (21). The liquid so released can discharge from the tubular structure (21) through the water permeable belt portion (15).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to apparatus for manipulating materials and methods for manipulating materials. [0002] An operation may be any suitable type of handling and / or treatment operation, including, for example, conveying operations to transport material from one location to another, rolling operations, filtration to separate material into its liquid and solid components operation or any combination of two or more of these operations. [0003] The apparatus of the present invention is particularly, but not exclusively, used for: treatment of sewage, mining concentrates, mining waste, ores, fine coal dust, tailings, wood pulp, paper pulp, agricultural products, wine grape paste / pulp Rolling and filtering (dewatering) of equal-carrying sludge; separation of clay in brick making; filtration of water (eg, desalination of water); and filtration in aquaculture. [0004] In addition to providing conveying means for carrying out conveying operations, the appa...
