Abstract
The invention relates to a control head constructed for use with rotary filters for controlling separation of filtrate from the filters into adjustable filtrate zones. It is characterized by the fact that at least one filtrate separator (7) is provided, which includes a mechanism for diverting of the flow (9) from axial flow in channels that are axially arranged with respect to the axis of the filter to radial flow without causing entrainment or formation of air bubbles in the diverted flow.
