Disc filter, partic. for the removal of fibres from a suspension, formed by element segments which are corrugated to form channels (11) for filtrate removal. This filtrate is collected in channels (12) of the filter element and discharged through channels (8) which form part of the hollow shaft (3). The cross-section of the collection channels (12) increases towards the delivery point (13). A hollow space (17), formed between filter surfaces (16) and the support frame (10), is open at the shaft end. (Reissue of the entry advised in week 9608 based on complete specification)
