Abstract:
A liquid/solid separator system mounted on a mobile cart and connected to a process tank for reducing the rate at which fluids are consumed in manufacturing processes. The system may include automation and also may include a shear stepped screen including tilted wire wedge wires arranged at varying cant angles. The system may include a fine screen basket received in a settling box.
Abstract:
A bag clip is provided for removably mounting a filter bag onto a suction mast of a pool cleaner to collect and retain debris vacuumed by the pool cleaner from submerged floor and side wall surfaces of a swimming pool. The bag clip includes an inner support collar for reception into an open mouth of a porous filter bag, in combination with an outer clamp ring for releasibly clamping the bag mouth onto the inner support collar. The bag clip additionally includes quick release latch tabs for snap fit mounting onto the pool cleaner suction mast. In use, the outer clamp ring can be quickly and easily opened to permit filter bag removal and disposal of collected debris, followed by re-installation of the same or a replacement filter bag.
Abstract:
A filter element for a swimming pool cleaner includes a pair of pouches which are received within cavities defined within the pool cleaner housing. The outer edges of the filter element are attached to corresponding edges of the housing by releasable clips. Water is drawn through apertures in the bottom of the cleaner through the filter element and into a motor driven pump, with large debris remaining in the pouches and particles entrained in the pool water being caught by the filter element.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for cleaning the sand beds of slow sand filters, infiltration basins and pools of other types having sand beds in water treatment works and similar plants, while the filter is in service, by removing a few centimeters of the bed surface, cleaning the sand of the sludge or filter film formed on the bed surface, returning the cleaned sand to the bed, and discharging the separated sludge, suspended in water to drain or to a suitable disposal site. This is achieved using a tracked cleaning machine equipped with a submersible pump (7) and nozzle (8) to remove the top layer of sludge-bearing sand from the bed, cleaning the sludge from the sand thus removed in a hydrocyclone (13), returning the cleaned sand to the bed via a spreader plate (15) and discharging the water-suspended sludge to a drain or to a suitable disposal site through a hose (17).
Abstract:
A multipurpose vehicle coolant recycling device is described. The multipurpose vehicle coolant recycling device includes a pump for pumping coolant through said recycling device, a processing tank for receiving used coolant, a fresh coolant tank for receiving fresh coolant, a filter for removing particulates from coolant, a coolant outlet hose constructed for attachment to a cooling system of a motor vehicle, a coolant inlet hose constructed for attachment to a cooling system of a motor vehicle, and a plurality of control valves for directing flow of coolant through the recycling device. The plurality of control valves are adjustable between a first configuration, a second configuration, a third configuration, and a fourth configuration. The first configuration is constructed for directing coolant from the fresh coolant tank through the pump and through the coolant outlet hose, and directing coolant from a cooling system of a motor vehicle through the coolant inlet hose and into the processing tank. The second configuration is constructed for directing coolant from the processing tank, through the pump, the filter, the coolant outlet hose, and into a cooling system of a motor vehicle, and directing coolant from a cooling system of a motor vehicle through the coolant inlet hose and into the processing tank. The third configuration is constructed for directing coolant from the processing tank, through the pump, the filter, and into the processing tank. The fourth configuration is constructed for directing coolant from the processing tank, through the pump, and into the fresh coolant tank. A method for recycling vehicle coolant is described.
Abstract:
A dual filtering apparatus for filtering deep fat frying vat oil includes a remote filtering screen attached to a tub by a flexible conduit for conveying oil and includes a fine filtering assembly that is at least partially provided within the upper chamber of the tub to further treat the oil from the remote filtering screen.
Abstract:
A sump cleaner (10) is disclosed including a filter cartridge (26) adapted for easy removal and dumping. A lifting fitting (40) is provided on the filter cartridge (26) so that it can easily be lifted from the sump cleaner (10) to be emptied through its bottom door (56) and the filter shell (46) of the filter cartridge (26) is provided with a tapered geometry to prevent jamming or bridging of the filtered material during the dumping operation.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to a mobile recovery system and methods. The system may receive a medium containing particles to be separated. The mobile system may include several modules that may remove various particles or substances from the medium and/or treat the medium to change a characteristic of the medium. The system may be located on a mobile platform. The system may be configure to perform the desired functions and methods either in a temporarily fixed location or while in motion.
Abstract:
Embodiments provide a vehicle for separating a mixed debris stream. The vehicle may include an elongate vehicle frame; a separating structure mounted on the vehicle frame and configured to contact the mixed debris stream with a fluid stream to separate the mixed debris stream into at least a first debris stream and a second debris stream; a feed structure for transporting the mixed debris stream to the separating structure at a delivery location; a first conveyor configured to receive the first debris stream at a receiving location; and a second conveyor configured to receive the second debris stream. At least one of the delivery location of the mixed debris stream, the receiving location of the first debris stream, and/or an ejection angle of the fluid stream may be adjustable.
