Glossary 

Aerosol: 

Distribution of minute liquid droplets (or solid particles) in a 
gas.  
 

Agglomerate: 

 

Structure made up of several small particles which have 
formed a ball (conglomerated) as a result of physical forces.  
 

Cartridge (coiled): 

 

Cylindrical structure consisting of a core element with 
triangular wires wound or welded onto it. The suspension 
that must be filtered flows inward. Solids are retained on the 
outer surface of the cartridge.  
 

Cleaning: 

The coiled cartridge is turned and cleaned by a stationary 
scraper.  
 

Concentrate:

  

Quantity of residues enriched with solids. Is discharged from 
the filter periodically. Further treatment may be necessary, 
depending on the application.  

 
Cooling lubricant: 

Cooling lubricant acc. to DIN 51385. 
 

Differential pressure (delta p): 

Difference between the pressure on the dirty side and  
the clean side.  
 

Draining: 

The drain valve is opened. The solids that have collected in 
the collection cone are discharged. 
 

Filter cake:

  

Layer that is built up by the solids retained on the surface of 
the coiled cartridge.  
 

Filtered fluid:

  

Substance that is filtered. 
 

Filtration mode:

  

The metal-edge filter operates normally and the drain valve 
is closed.  
 

Homogenisation: 

A system of substances is given a uniform composition. 
 

Initial differential pressure:

  

Differential pressure at the start of the filtration process 
(when the coiled cartridge is “clean”).  
 

Precontrol: 

5/2-way magnetic valves actuated by the controller, which 
switch pneumatic control valves.  
 

Siphon:

  

U-shaped pipe. A siphon cannot be discharged without a 
valve.  
 

Suspension (raw suspension):

  

System of substances that must be filtered, generally 
consisting of solids in a liquid.
