l'usage [...] est fait depuis très longtemps de «filtres sous vide à bande», en particulier dans l'industrie chimique et en papeterie. Cependant, ces filtres sont coûteux, encore plus onéreux que les filtres sous vide à tambour du fait de leur grand encombrement et de l'importance prise par les secteurs de mise sous vide et les tuyauteries de liaison. 1, record 3, French, - filtre%20%C3%A0%20tambour
