Center flow perforated plate filter

摘要

A waste water filter has a perforated conveyor made up of a plurality of segments. Each of the segments has a shelf portion to lift trapped filtered material. Drive chains on opposite sides of the conveyor rotate the conveyor in an oblong loop. End plates on the ends of each segment have leading and trailing edges that extend at an acute angle relative to one another. Each of the end plates is rigidly mounted to a link of one of the chains. A socket mounted on a first edge of each of the segments engages a rod mounted on a second edge of an adjacent segment. Seal plates are located between the chains and the end plates. Each of the seal plates is rigidly mounted to one of the end plates and has an overlapping portion that extends alongside in sliding contact with an adjacent one of the end plates.
