Abstract

A conveyor-type sludge filtering device for extracting the liquid component from the sludge, the device including a horizontally moving supported strand of a perforate endless conveyor belt onto which a continuous flow of sludge is deposited, while rows of flow breaker members extend downwardly into the moving sludge, thereby preventing the formation of sludge layers, especially of a belt-plugging bottom layer of solid matter. The flow breakers are preferably wedge-shaped and pivotably supported on transverse rods.
