Abstract
A horizontal rotary table filter includes a device connecting the filter table to the carrier structure which provides freedom of movement between the two in the radial direction, to thereby maintain the filter table in a substantially planar condition under adverse operating conditions. The device preferably includes a radially oriented slideway connected to one of the table and the carrier structure, and slide shoes or rollers connected to the other of the table and the structure and disposed within the slideway. In addition to enabling relative radial movement, the device is so constructed as to provide a space between the table and the structure and thereby thermally insulate one from the other. Also disclosed is a more stable carrier structure which includes circumferential and diagonal connecting members disposed between adjacent radial gussets.
