Self Cleaning Filters

Automatic self cleaning filters for high loads of suspended solids and heavy duty applications.

Triton

Triton series of online self cleaning filters are electrically driven automatically self-cleaning filter with brush cleaning backwash mechanism. The function of the filter is controlled by a flushing controller.

The filter unit is equipped with a brush cleaning mechanism which essentially comprises of ss 316 brushes mounted on a ss 316 frame which is in turn connected to a motor gearbox mechanism through a shaft. A diaphragm valve/hydraulically actuated valve/motorized valve is used as a flushing valve which is in nc condition during backwash.

The system is monitored in real time by a dp switch which send real time pressure difference data to plc control panel regarding pressure drop between inlet & outlet of system. When a preset dp is achieved the control panel activates the motor thus rotating the brush mounted frame and opening the flushing valve.

Due to the scrapping action of the brushes the filter cake that has formed on the filter screen to be brushed off, and a great deal of dirt can be removed without interrupting filtration.

The cleaning process can be activated both automatically and manually. The short cleaning time of 20-25 seconds, using a minimum of flushing water, is sufficient to clean the entire filter element, with the filtering process being maintained.
