<p>Disclosed is a filtering device comprising an endless perforate conveyor belt adapted to carry a liquid-containing material and extract liquid from the material through the belt, and a plow assembly for disrupting the material carried by the belt. The plow assembly comprises a generally horizontally positioned cross-member extending across the width of the belt, the cross-member supporting at least one plow such that the plow is capable of contacting the material carried by the belt, the cross-member is mounted adjacent its ends on slide means that enable the cross-member to be raised and lowered with respect to the perforate belt. The device further includes selectively actuatable member for raising and lowering the cross-member with respect to the belt to thereby move the plows into and out of material contacting position.</p> |
