Product Type:
Self Cleaning Filters
The S4 Rotor Blade self cleaning filter is suitable for all liquids particularly those of high viscosity such as chocolate and paints or generally those of high value, as liquid losses from the system are minimal
Principle of Operation
The Airpel Series self-cleaning filter (SCF) blends modern technology with simplicity to provide a versatile method of filtering your process fluids. The filter can be set up for fully or semi-automated or manual operation during which the liquid enters the body and flows through the filter element from outside to in. Debris is collected on the outside of the wedge wire or perforated element. Cleaning takes place without interruption to flow by the rotation of scraper blades against a fixed filter element. The debris accumulated during rotation is guided downwards by the rotation of a specially designed agitator assembly and is then deposited into the sump of the filter from where it can be periodically discharged either manually or automatically, via an angled drain port. There is a dump agitator located in the sump to combat pooling and solidification of product and a paddle agitator located on the filter clean side to keep the product in motion. Ideal for processes that require continuous flow and high viscosity, the SCF range is also suitable for use on unmanned sites and with hazardous process fluids.
Construction
The Rotor Blade self cleaning filter is a fully fabricated stainless steel body with stainless steel internal filter yoke assembly.
