Abstract
A movable filter system is provided for moving one or more filters of a filter assembly between an operative position and a maintenance position. In one embodiment, a filter assembly is secured to a telescoping rod assembly so that it may be moved between operative and maintenance positions. Positioning the rod assembly vertically allows gravity to move the rod assembly to an extended position, and a winch and cable may be used to move the rod assembly to a retracted position. Keyways and channels may be used within the rods of the telescoping rod assembly so as to maintain rotational positioning of the filter assembly.
Claims9
A movable filter system, comprising:
- (a) a filter assembly comprising one or more filters;
- and
- (b) an assembly for moving said filter assembly between an operative position and a maintenance position, said assembly being configured to maintain the rotational positioning of the filter assembly in the operative position and the maintenance position.
A movable filter system, comprising:
- (a) a filter assembly comprising one or more filters;
- (b) a telescoping rod assembly secured to the filter assembly, said rod assembly being movable between a retracted position which places the filter assembly in an operative position, and an extended position which places said filter assembly in a maintenance position.
A movable filter system, comprising:
- (a) a filter assembly comprising one or more filters;
- and
- (b) a telescoping rod assembly secured to the filter assembly, said rod assembly being movable between a retracted position which places the filter assembly in an operative position, and an extended position which places said filter assembly in a maintenance position, said telescoping rod assembly situated so that the axis thereof is vertical, and wherein each rod of said telescoping rod assembly is further provided with grooves and keyways so as to maintain the rotational positioning of the filter assembly.
A granulator system, comprising:
- (a) a filter assembly comprising one or more filters;
- and
- (b) a telescoping rod assembly secured to the filter assembly, said rod assembly being movable between a retracted position which places the filter assembly in an operative position, and an extended position which places said filter assembly in a maintenance position, said telescoping rod assembly situated so that the axis thereof is vertical, and wherein each rod of said telescoping rod assembly is further provided with grooves and keyways so as to maintain the rotational positioning of the filter assembly.
