TITLE: A DEVICE FOR THE CONTINUOUS FILTRATION OF MATERIAL BLENDS. This invention relates toa device for the continuous filtration of material blends, in particular for separating impurities from plastic melts, with a hollow cylindrical filter disposed inside a housing, an inner chamber disposed inside the filter, an annular chamber defined by the outer surrface of the filter and an inside well of the housing and a cleaning device for removeing the impurities retained on the filter. Inside thye housing, the filter is disposed so as to be pivoted by a motor drive about an axis and in that the cleaning device comprises at least one wiper for removing the impurities retained on the filter int he radial direction, and a conveying device for removing off the impurites retained on the filter by means of the wiper, the motor-driven rotary drive filter and the conveying device being driven independent of each other. |
