Abstract:
A filtrate collector element includes a hollow body forming a first opening portion, a second opening portion, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion forms a conduit between the first opening portion and the second opening portion. The collector element may be coupled with a pressure filter plate element. The outer dimension of the first opening portion is smaller than the inner dimension of the second opening portion, such that first opening portion of a preceding collector element can be at least partly nested in the second opening portion of a subsequent collector element. A pressure filter plate element, a horizontal pressure filter, a method for providing a continuous filtrate conduit and a method for operating a pressure filter are also concerned.

Claim (Index 11):
The horizontal pressure filter according to  claim 1 , wherein collector elements of adjacent plate elements are arranged such that, at least in the closed state, the preceding collector element is spaced apart from the passage at the inside of the hollow body of a subsequent collector element, such that the preceding collector element does not obstruct filtrate flow from the passage to the inside of the hollow body of the subsequent collector element.
