TECHNOLOGY & CONFIGURATION

Automatic self-cleaning filters

Retained solids are removed by a moving suction assembly. Selection must account for the filter rating, solids loading and pressure available throughout the cleaning cycle.

Screen filtration

Coarse and finer screen options for intake, cooling, irrigation and process-water protection.

Fine-media filtration

Selected media for fine suspended solids, algae and membrane pretreatment; capture basis is confirmed by series.

PRELIMINARY SELECTION

Define the duty.
Select the configuration.

Published ranges support initial selection. Final equipment, dimensions, materials and performance commitments follow the confirmed project requirements.

The 1-micron selection applies only to the relevant fine-media series. Published pressure spans 0.5–10 bar across different series; cleaning pressure and maximum pressure are verified for the selected model.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you specify.

Does cleaning stop the water flow?

The suction scanner cleans a localized area while the remainder continues filtering. Adequate cleaning pressure must be maintained.

Can every model filter to 1 micron?

No. The lowest rating belongs to a specific fine-media series. Flow capacity and effective capture are confirmed for the selected element.
