Filter means with a segmental construction

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a filter means for filtering gases, liquids or similar filtering media preferably, for process engineering plants e.g. those for the, foods and drinks industry such as for compressed air, preparation particularly in sterile operation, optionally under overpressure conditions and/or at high temperatures in which there is a segmental construction formed by, essentially circular filter elements against which a, flow can take place from the inside and outside together, with interposed, disk-shaped filter material and in which the entire edge area of the filter material sealingly cooperates with the filter elements.
