Self Cleaning Filter

Self cleaning stainless steel wedge wire filter.

150 micron filter currently installed.

80mm inlet /outlet.

42 litre capacity of filter housing

 

Filtering Status
Liquid enters the filter from the inlet. The spring-loaded disc-shape scraper tightly fits the filter element internal surface and stops at the top of the filter element. The liquid passes the scraper and flows across the filter element from inside to outside. The impurities are blocked on the inner element surface. The liquid flows out from the outlet. After running for a period, more and more impurities accumulate and the pressure drop increases. Clean the filter element by the preset differential pressure or the preset time cycle.

 

Cleaning Status
The cylinder drives the scraper moving up and down and cleaning the filter element. When the scraper moving down, the impurities are pushed down to the filter bottom, and gravity particles settle down to the impurity collection chamber. When the scraper moving up, the remaining impurities are pushed to the top of the filter element and then flushed off by the liquid. The impurities pass the scraper, get back the filter element internal surface and then scraped off when the scraper moving down. Each cleaning cycle consists of several strokes. After cleaning, the filter element are regenerated. When cleaning, it filters normally and flowrate is not interrupted.

 

Purging Status
After several cleaning cycles, the impurities accumulate more and more. Open the valve periodically and purge the waste liquid of high impurity concentration, which can be recovered if necessary.
