Self-cleaning filters are designed specifically to provide efficient filtration for liquids, including those of high viscosity, requiring continuous filtration without interruption to the flow during the cleaning process. There is no operator contact with the process fluid. High quality stainless steel elements are highly effective in removing contaminant particles as small as 25 micron (?m).
In operation the liquid enters the body and flows through the element from outside to inside. Debris is collected on the outside of the wedge wire or perforated element, which is cleaned without flow interruption by the rotation of element against fixed scraper blades. The debris accumulated during rotation is deposited into the bottom of the filter body from where it is periodically discharged, either manually or automatically.
The filter is available for either manual or fully automatic electric or pneumatic operation. The range of optional control devices makes it particularly suitable for continuous processes and for service with high contamination levels.
