Description

Vorrichtung zum kontinuierlichen Auspressen von Flüssigkeit aus einer Suspensi- on  Device for the continuous squeezing out of liquid from a suspension
Technisches Gebiet Technical area
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum kontinuierlichen Auspressen von Flüssigkeit aus einer Suspension, insbesondere Schneckenpresse, mit einem drehangetriebenen, in einem rohrförmigen Schneckengehäuse drehenden, eine Förderschnecke tragenden Rotor, wobei das Schneckengehäuse einen zumindest teilweise mit der Förderschnecke zusammenwirkenden ersten Filtermantel um- fasst, der radiale Durchlässe zum Ableiten der filtrierten Flüssigkeit aufweist und der einen Filterkuchen, aus zurückgehaltenen Feststoffen, in Förderrichtung der Förderschnecke einem Austrag zuleitet, wobei dem Rotor, der Förderschnecke nachgeordnet, eine den Rotor koaxial umfassende, ringförmige erste Hülse zum Abschälen einer äußeren Filterkuchenschicht vom Filterkuchen zugeordnet ist. The invention relates to a device for the continuous extrusion of liquid from a suspension, in particular screw press, with a rotationally driven, rotating in a tubular screw housing, carrying a screw conveyor rotor, wherein the screw housing comprises at least partially cooperating with the screw conveyor first filter casing, the radial passages for discharging the filtered liquid and the one filter cake, from retained solids, in the conveying direction of the screw conveyor to a discharge, wherein the rotor, the screw conveyor downstream, the rotor coaxial comprehensive, annular first sleeve for peeling an outer filter cake layer from the filter cake assigned.
Stand der Technik Eine solche Vorrichtung ist aus der US 1 299 524 A bekannt, wobei die Hülse dem Filter in Förderrichtung nachgeordnet ist und dazu dient den Staudruck am Filterausgang zu erhöhen. Dem Rotor ist zudem ein zweites Filter zugeordnet, das allerdings im Betrieb nicht reinigbar ist. PRIOR ART Such a device is known from US 1 299 524 A, wherein the sleeve is arranged downstream of the filter in the conveying direction and serves to increase the dynamic pressure at the filter outlet. The rotor is also assigned a second filter, which, however, is not cleanable during operation.
Derartige Vorrichtungen, insbesondere Schneckenpressen, werden beispielsweise in der Abwasseraufbereitung bzw. -reinigung in Kläranlagen verwendet. Üblicherweise wird dem Schlamm der Kläranlage ein Flockungsmittel aus einem Polymer oder dgl. zugegeben, um ein Flocken der Feststoffe im Schlamm zu bewirken, womit die feste und die flüssige Phase des Schlammes besser getrennt werden können. Zudem soll mit derartigen Schneckenpressen gewährleistet werden, dass der gewonnene Klärschlamm nur einen möglichst geringen Flüssigkeitsanteil auf- weist. Es soll also eine möglichst effektive Trennung zwischen fester und flüssiger Phase möglich sein. Eine derartige Schneckenpresse offenbart beispielsweise die DE 60028187 T2. Solche Schneckenpressen konzentrieren und entwässern den jeweils zugeführten Schlamm durch Auspressen und Entwässern. Die jeweiligen Filtergrößen sind vom eingesetzten bzw. zu trocknenden Schlamm abhängig. Derartige Schneckenpressen können aber auch für andere Zwecke eingesetzt werden, wie beispielsweise anorganische Schlämme in der Industrie. Such devices, in particular screw presses, are used for example in wastewater treatment and purification in sewage treatment plants. Usually, a flocculant of a polymer or the like is added to the sludge of the treatment plant to cause flocculation of the solids in the sludge, whereby the solid and liquid phases of the sludge can be better separated. In addition, it should be ensured with such screw presses that the sewage sludge obtained only has the lowest possible liquid content. has. So it should be possible as effective as possible separation between solid and liquid phase. Such a screw press, for example, discloses DE 60028187 T2. Such screw presses concentrate and dewater the respectively supplied sludge by pressing and draining. The respective filter sizes are dependent on the sludge used or to be dried. But such screw presses can also be used for other purposes, such as inorganic sludge in the industry.
Eine weitere derartige bekannte Vorrichtung zeigt beispielsweise die EP 549092 B1 . Auch dieses vorbekannte Filter zum Ausfiltern von Wasser aus einem Fluid umfasst beispielsweise ein Trommelsieb und eine Schraubenschnecke, die im Trommelsieb umläuft. Das Fluid wird in Förderrichtung durch den Siebmantel gefördert, wobei Feststoffe durch den Siebmantel zurückgehalten und in Förderrichtung weiterbefördert werden, wohingegen Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wasser, durch den Siebmantel ausgepresst wird. Durch das Verdichten der zurückgehalte- nen Stoffe in Förderrichtung wird das Fluid ausgepresst. Nach Erreichen einer gewünschten, vorgegebenen Restfeuchte in der zurückgehaltenen Feststoffmasse wird diese aus der Schneckenpresse ausgebracht. Another such known device shows, for example, EP 549092 B1. Also, this prior art filter for filtering water from a fluid includes, for example, a drum screen and a screw screw, which rotates in the drum screen. The fluid is conveyed in the conveying direction through the screen jacket, whereby solids are retained by the screen jacket and conveyed further in the conveying direction, whereas liquid, in particular water, is pressed out through the screen jacket. By compressing the retained substances in the conveying direction, the fluid is squeezed out. After reaching a desired, predetermined residual moisture in the retained solid mass, this is discharged from the screw press.
Nachteilig ist bei den vorbekannten Pressen insbesondere, dass der maximal erzielbare Entfeuchtungsgrad der zurückgehaltenen Masse, insbesondere bei grö- ßeren Schneckenpressen, durch die eingesetzte Technologie begrenzt ist, da die Mächtigkeit (dicke) des Filterkuchens die den maximal erzielbaren Entfeuchtungsgrad begrenzt. A disadvantage of the prior art presses in particular that the maximum achievable degree of dehumidification of the retained mass, especially in larger screw presses, is limited by the technology used, since the thickness (thickness) of the filter cake limits the maximum achievable dehumidification.
Darstellung der Erfindung Presentation of the invention
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, die, insbesondere auch bei größeren Schneckenpressen, einen verbesserten Entfeuchtungsgrad im ausgepressten Filterkuchen erreichen kann. The object of the invention is to provide a device of the type described, which can achieve an improved degree of dehumidification in the pressed filter cake, especially in larger screw presses.
Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, dass zwischen Hülse und Rotor ein Förderkanal für die verbliebene innere Filterkuchenschicht vorgesehen ist und der Rotor im Bereich des Förderkanals ein zweites Filter zum Ableiten der filtrierten Flüssigkeit durch den Rotor aufweist. The invention solves the problem set by the fact that between the sleeve and rotor a delivery channel for the remaining inner filter cake layer is provided and the rotor in the region of the conveying channel has a second filter for discharging the filtered liquid through the rotor.
Erfindungsgemäß wird also die dem Filtermantel nähere und dadurch besser aus- gepresste bzw. von Feuchtigkeit befreite äußere Filterkuchenschicht mit der ring- förmigen ersten Hülse vom Filterkuchen abgeschält und aus der Vorrichtung über den Austrag ausgebracht. Die innere Filterkuchenschicht verbleibt zunächst noch in der Vorrichtung, wird durch den Druck der Förderschnecke angetrieben weitergefördert und in den Förderkanal für die verbliebene innere Filterkuchenschicht zwischen erster Hülse und mit Druck eingeleitet, wo diese innere Filterkuchen- Schicht über einen in diesem Bereich dieses Förderkanals vorgesehenen zweiten Filter weiter entwässert wird. Dem Filterkuchen dabei entzogene Flüssigkeit wird durch das zweite Filter hindurch, in das Rotorinnere hineingepresst und aus diesem in weiterer Folge über eine entsprechende Ableitung aus der Vorrichtung abgeleitet. Damit lässt sich der Entfeuchtungsgrad des Filterkuchens merklich verbessern. Die auf diese Weise hinsichtlich ihrer Restfeuchte reduzierte innere Filterkuchenschicht wird in weiterer Folge wiederum über den Austrag aus der Vorrichtung abgeleitet. According to the invention, therefore, the outer filter cake layer which is closer to the filter jacket and thus better pressed or freed from moisture is peeled off the filter cake with the annular first sleeve and discharged from the apparatus via the discharge. The inner filter cake layer initially remains in the device, is further driven by the pressure of the screw conveyor and introduced into the conveying channel for the remaining inner filter cake layer between the first sleeve and pressure, where this inner filter cake layer provided in this region of this conveyor channel second Filter is further drained. Liquid withdrawn from the filter cake is forced through the second filter, into the interior of the rotor, and subsequently discharged therefrom via a corresponding discharge from the apparatus. Thus, the degree of dehumidification of the filter cake can be significantly improved. The inner filter cake layer reduced in this way with respect to its residual moisture is then in turn discharged via the discharge from the device.
Der zweite Filter wird zwar auch vom vorbeigepressten Filterkuchen abgereinigt, allerdings empfiehlt es sich, um eine verbesserte Filterwirkung zu erzielen, dass der ersten Hülse wenigstens ein gegen den Rotor angestellter Schaber zum Abreinigen des Filterkuchens vom zweiten Filter zugeordnet ist. Dieser Schaber kann dabei an der ersten Hülse im Förderkanal befestigt sein und von der Hülse gegen den zweiten Filter radial vorragen. Der Schaber ist dabei vorzugsweise mit seiner am zweiten Filter gleitenden Schaberklinge rotorachsparallel ausgerichtet. Gegebenenfalls könnte sich der Querschnitt des Förderkanals in Förderrichtung verengen, also konisch ausgebildet sein, um den Förderdruck in Förderrichtung zur verbesserten Auspressung der Flüssigkeit zu steigern. Um den Gegendruck bzw. das Abschälverhalten der ringförmigen ersten Hülse bezüglich des Filterkuchens vorteilhaft einstellen zu können, ist es von Vorteil, wenn die erste Hülse mit einem Antrieb rotorachsparallel verlagerbar ist. Although the second filter is also cleaned by vorbeigepressten filter cake, but it is recommended to achieve an improved filtering effect that the first sleeve is assigned at least one employed against the rotor scraper for cleaning the filter cake from the second filter. This scraper can be attached to the first sleeve in the delivery channel and protrude radially from the sleeve against the second filter. The scraper is preferably oriented rotorachsparallel with its sliding on the second filter scraper blade. Optionally, the cross section of the conveyor channel could narrow in the conveying direction, so be conical in order to increase the delivery pressure in the conveying direction for improved extrusion of the liquid. In order to be able to advantageously set the backpressure or the peeling behavior of the annular first sleeve with respect to the filter cake, it is advantageous if the first sleeve can be displaced rotorachsparallel with a drive.
Anlaufseitig kann die erste Hülse wenigstens einen Konus aufweisen, der für ei- nen sauberen Schnitt zwischen innerer und äußerer Filterkuchenschicht sorgt. Um zudem den Gegendruck für den im Förderkanal verbliebenen inneren Filterkuchen zwecks Einstellung des Trocknungsgrades vorteilhaft einstellen zu können, wird vorgeschlagen, dass der ersten Hülse eine mit einem Antrieb in Richtung der Rotorachse verlagerbare, vom Innendurchmesser her kleinere, und den Rotor mit Spiel umfassende, zweite Hülse nachgeordnet ist. Diese Hülse verengt oder weitet den Ausgangsspalt für den Filterkuchen zwischen erster und zweiter Hülse und erlaubt dadurch eine entsprechende Gegendruckeinstellung. Ist die zweite Hülse dabei anlaufseitig mit einem den Filterkuchen radial vom Rotor abhebenden Konus ausgestattet, so wird auch der verbliebene Filterkuchen vom zweiten Filter abgehoben und dem Austrag zugeleitet. On the inlet side, the first sleeve can have at least one cone, which ensures a clean cut between the inner and outer filter cake layer. In order to also be able to adjust the counter-pressure for the inner filter cake remaining in the conveyor channel for the purpose of setting the degree of drying advantageous, it is proposed that the first sleeve with a drive in the direction of the rotor axis displaceable, from the inner diameter ago smaller, and the rotor with game comprehensive, second Subsequent sleeve is. This sleeve narrows or widens the output gap for the filter cake between the first and second sleeve, thereby allowing a corresponding counterpressure adjustment. If the second sleeve is equipped on the start side with a cone which lifts the filter cake radially away from the rotor, the remaining filter cake is also lifted off the second filter and fed to the discharge.
Um den zweiten Filter vorteilhaft reinigen zu können, wird vorgeschlagen, dass innerhalb des Rotors zwischen dem zweiten Filter und der Rotorachse eine Waschlanze mit Reinigungsdüsen angeordnet ist, die gegen den zweiten Filter gerichtet sind. Diese Waschdüsen sorgen dafür, dass Filteröffnungen bzw. Filterbohrungen verlegendes Material von innen mit Gegendruck von der Filteroberfläche abgehoben und vorteilhaft mit dem Schaber abgeschabt werden kann. In order to be able to advantageously clean the second filter, it is proposed that a washing lance with cleaning nozzles, which are directed against the second filter, be arranged within the rotor between the second filter and the rotor axis. These wash nozzles ensure that filter openings or filter bores laying material can be lifted from the inside with counter-pressure from the filter surface and advantageously scraped off with the scraper.
Das zweite Filter kann ein auf einem Siebträger aufgezogenes Feinsieb, ein Filtertuch oder ein Filter aus porösen Filterwerkstoffen, wie Kunststoff oder Keramik, umfassen. Die entsprechende Wahl hängt naturgemäß vom zu filtrierenden Fluid ab. The second filter may comprise a fine sieve mounted on a portafilter, a filter cloth or a filter made of porous filter materials such as plastic or ceramic. The appropriate choice naturally depends on the fluid to be filtered.

Ein zu filtrierendes Fluid wird in den Raum zwischen der konischen Förderschnecke 3 und dem ersten Filtermantel 5 eingebracht und von der, um die Rotorachse R drehangetriebenen, Förderschnecke in Förderrichtung 7 unter Auspressung des Fluides gefördert, wobei die vom ersten Filtermantel 5 zurückgehaltenen, den Filterkuchen bildenden Feststoffe in Förderrichtung 7 zum Austrag 8 hin gefördert werden und durch die Durchlässe 6 des ersten Filtermantels hindurchtretendes Fluid aus der Vorrichtung über den Ablass F abgeleitet wird. Statt der konischen Förderschnecke 3 könnte auch eine zylindrische Förderschnecke mit unterschiedlicher Steigung zum Einsatz kommen. Auch Kombinationen davon sind denkbar. Zudem kann die Schnecke eingängig oder (teilweise) mehrgängig ausgebildet sein. A fluid to be filtered is introduced into the space between the conical screw conveyor 3 and the first filter casing 5 and conveyed by the, about the rotor axis R rotationally driven, screw conveyor in the conveying direction 7 under pressure of the fluid, wherein the retained from the first filter casing 5, forming the filter cake Solids are conveyed in the conveying direction 7 to the discharge 8 and discharged through the passages 6 of the first filter jacket fluid from the device via the drain F is derived. Instead of the conical screw conveyor 3, a cylindrical screw conveyor with different pitch could also be used. Also combinations of these are conceivable. In addition, the screw can be catchy or (partially) more continuous.
Erfindungsgemäß ist dem Rotor 4, der Förderschnecke 3 nachgeordnet, eine den Rotor 4 koaxial umfassende, ringförmige erste Hülse 9 zum Abschälen einer äußeren Filterkuchenschicht 10 vom Filterkuchen K zugeordnet, wobei zwischen der Hülse 9 und dem Rotor 4 ein Förderkanal 1 1 für die innere Filterkuchenschicht 12 vorgesehen ist und der Rotor 4 in dem Bereich des Förderkanals 1 1 ein zweites Filter 13 zum Ableiten der filtrierten Flüssigkeit durch den Rotor 4 aufweist. Die erste Hülse 9 weist wenigstens einen gegen den Rotor 4 angestellten Schaber 14 zum Abreinigen des Filterkuchens 12 vom zweiten Filter 13 auf. Dabei ist die erste Hülse 9 mit einem Antrieb 15, einem angedeuteten hydraulischen Antrieb, rotorachsenparallel verlagerbar, und anlaufseitig mit wenigstens einem Konus 16 ausgestattet. According to the rotor 4, downstream of the screw conveyor 3, a rotor 4 coaxial comprehensive, annular first sleeve 9 for peeling an outer filter cake layer 10 associated with the filter cake K, wherein between the sleeve 9 and the rotor 4, a conveyor channel 1 1 for the inner filter cake layer 12 is provided and the rotor 4 in the region of the conveying channel 1 1, a second filter 13 for discharging the filtered liquid through the rotor 4 has.
