Self Cleaning Filters - Manual & Automatic (High Pressure Range)

Self cleaning for liquid duties requiring continuous filtration without interruption to the flow during the cleaning process.
Self cleaning filters are available in either manual or automatic versions with standard design options for either low pressure (14 BARG) or high pressure (35 BARG) system.
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 element, which is cleaned without flow interruption by rotating the cylindrical element against twin scraper blades.
The debris accumulated during element rotation is deposited into the bottom of the filter body from where it is periodically discharged, manually or automatically.
