Abstract

Industrial water filter comprising a filter housing comprising a sidewall and opposed endwalls, a radial inlet and an axial outlet. A stationary filter is disposed operatively between the inlet and outlet and generally eccentrically relative to the inlet axis so as to produce a sweeping flow pattern along the screen. The interior space between the screen and housing is divided diametrically along an axial plane of the filter housing into two separate channels each of which runs along the screen to a debris recovery zone diametrically opposite the inlet. At the inlet end the interior space is divided by a streamlined flow divider and at the debris recovery end by a separator member which is either a flat plate or a streamlined member. A stiffening web may be joined to the endwalls across an axial plane of the screen. A partition may divide the interior space perpendicularly to the outlet axis into two compartments.
