Filtervorrichtung mit Filterscheiben

摘要

The invention relates to a filter device, in particular for filtering melt-type fluids, such as polymer melts, comprising at least one filter disk (10) having two filter disk halves (12, 14) connected to each other by their edges and outwardly fitted with a filter tissue (18). The filter disk halves (12, 14), held apart by a supporting device (46), delimit a substantially free hollow area (16) between them, through which a fluid can flow freely. Inwardly, they delimit an outflow opening (44) for the melt-type filtered fluid. The invention is characterized in that the supporting device (46) has individual supporting cams (32) of substantially equal outer dimensions and arranged in several groups (34, 36, 38, 40, 42). Separated from each other, said supporting cams (32) extend radially outwards from the outflow opening (44), are rigidly connected to at least one of the two halves (12, 14), and traverse the hollow area (16) in such a way as to rest against the respective other filter disk half (14, 12). This results in a filter device which is economical to produce and which has enhanced filter performance when in operation. It is suited particularly to filtering melt-type fluids, such as polymer melts, under high pressure.
