Abstract:
1. A filter device comprising: at least one filter chamber arranged between a chamber side and a membrane side of two parallel filter plates and divided by two filter cloths, wherein the membrane sides of the two parallel filter plates each include a membrane, an outlet and a deviation element attached to the outlet and penetrating the membrane, wherein the deviation element includes inlet openings oriented substantially parallel to the filter plates and outlet channels oriented substantially perpendicular to the filter plates, when the filter device is closed, a suspension containing a solid substance is introducible between the filter cloths so that a filtrate penetrates the two filter cloths towards the chamber side and towards the membrane side, while the solid substance is deposited in a filter cake on the two filter cloths, the filtrate flows first substantially parallel to the two filter cloths towards the outlet, is deviated by the deviation element in an outflow direction perpendicular to the two filter cloths, and flows through the outlet, and when the filter device is open, the filter plates are at a distance from each other such that the filter cloths can be removed with the filter cake from the filter chamber, wherein the deviation element is arranged self-locking in the outlet of the filter plate and a spout of the deviation element is fitted into the outlet of the filter plate, wherein the deviation element closes the outlet of the filter plate in a direction perpendicular to the filter plate towards the filter cloth.
