Self Cleaning Filters (SCF)
Airpel self-cleaning filters have been designed specifically to provide efficient filtration of virtually all liquids, including those of high viscosity, while minimizing both disruption of flow and liquid loss during the element cleaning process.  There is no operator contact with the process fluid.  The high-quality stainless steel wedge wire (or perforated) element is highly effective in removing contaminant particles as small as 50 microns.

Cleaning is carried out by rotating the element against fixed scraper blades which remove debris from the surface of the element.  This, in turn, is drained from the base of the filter.

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.
 

Main Features:

  • No operator contact with liquid during cleaning operation.
  • Minimized product loss during both process production and system cleaning
  • Increased quality output with minimum disruption to product flow.
  • Reduced contamination--less possibility of accidents or operator exposure to the fluid.
  • Reduced maintenance costs--automated units can eliminate manual cleaning.
  • Environmentally friendly--enclosed design with minimal flushing losses.
