Abstract
A filtration apparatus comprised of a rotary drum having a plurality of internal vanes for conveying slag material therein therein is presented. The slag is conveyed upwardly by the vanes, after which it falls freely onto a conveyer belt passing longitudinally through the drum. Each vane consists of a retaining blade and a liquid permeable filtering blade spaced from the retaining blade. A deflecting means is positioned beneath the filtering blade. The deflecting means includes a deflecting plate associated with a support member. The support member and the retaining blade provide a supporting frame work for the rotary drum.

A filtration apparatus including a rotary drum, said rotary drum having a foraminous wall along the outside surface thereof and end walls, said rotary drum having a plurality of internal vanes for filtering liquid and solid materials, said filtered solid material being conveyed upwardly and subsequently falling onto a conveyer belt passing longitudinally through the drum, each of said vanes comprising:
- retaining blade means extending from said drum;
- filtering blade means disposed across from said retaining blade means and separated by an opening therebetween, said filtering blade means permitting liquid to pass therethrough;
- and
- deflecting means positioned beneath said filtering blade means to prevents said separated filtered water from falling onto the filtered solid material of an adjacent vane.
