18 / 24   Oliver continuous filter

Description
According to Webster, the Oliver is "A continuous-type filter made in the form of a cylindrical drum with filter cloth stretched over the convex surface of the drum. The drum rotates slowly about a horizontal axis, and the lower part is immersed in a tank containing the pulp to be filtered. Arrangement of pressure and suction pipes on the interior of the drum permits the application of suction to the filtering surface. As the filter passes through the tank, it picks up a layer of solid material and emerges carrying a layer of filter cake."

  believe it or not, here we are in 2008, and the same apparatus, albeit a little more refined, is still i use in the paper mill I work at to make pulp... neat to see the same concept/design in use in another field.
