Device, system and method for extracting and filtering a suspension, preferably containing plant constituents, by means of rotating filter elements

System for continuously or discontinuously treating a liquid or liquid phase, or a solid phase or a residual phase from a suspension containing plant constituents, for production of food, pharmaceutical and luxury products, comprising:

• a first device;
• wherein the first device has a first tub-shaped vessel for receiving the suspension;
• wherein the first device has at least two first separators, each of the at least two first separators having a first surface;
• wherein the first surface comprises a flat or planar surface and has a multiplicity of openings;
• wherein the first surface is operable to be brought into contact with the suspension, if the suspension is present in the first vessel for separation into a first liquid phase and the first residual phase;
• wherein, during operation of the first device, the first surface is arranged such that the first surface is movable or rotatable relative to the suspension, the first residual phase and/or the first vessel;
• wherein the at least two first separators are operable to be controlled by a first control device so that a relative movement or rotational movement of the first surface is effected during an entire period of separation of the suspension;
• wherein the at least two first separators are disk-shaped or substantially disk-shaped and configured as a separator having a rotatably mounted shaft or as a rotatably mounted separator or rotatably mounted filter;
• wherein the at least two first separators are arranged in the first device such that a largest spaced interval, which is measured as a normal spaced interval between the two surfaces of the at least two first separators, is 30 cm;
• and
• a smallest spaced interval, which is measured as a normal spaced interval between the two surfaces of the at least two first separators, is 4 cm;
• wherein the at least two first separators are selectively arranged in the device with an axes of rotation of the least two separators being substantially perpendicular to a flow direction of the suspension flowing into the device and substantially perpendicular to a residual phase flowing out of the device.
