Traditionally clari?cation of the roll oils has been done with dispos-able cartridge ?lters or diatomaceous earth ?lters. These methods, while effective, are maintenance intensive and require disposable guard ?lters.To address these issues, Filtertech has developed the Model ABS Absorption Filter that is fully automatic and eliminates the need for any precoating or use of dispos-able ?lters. The Model ABS Absorption Filter incorpo-rates a unique ?lter element design that removes even the ?nest particles and at the same time is self-cleaning using semi-permanent ?lter elements.The Model ABS Absorption Filter is available in a wide variety of con?gurations to meet the needs of various applications including engineered system design when required.??????????????????????????FT236ABS FILTER ABS FILTERMODE OF OPERATIONThe ABS Filter System utilizes special ?lter candles designed to allow oil ?ow through the candles from outside to inside. The extremely ?ne particulate is captured on the outer surface of the ?lter element. Flow through the candles is accomplished by absorption instead of pressure. The extremely low differ-ential allows the ?lter elements to be cleaned easily, by back ?owing low-pressure air through the elements.Most large ?ow rate systems utilize multiple ?lter vessels to achieve the required ?ltration levels. Each ABS ?lter vessel is designed with multiple ?lter compartments. Each compart-ment is completely isolated from the others. A typical vessel may have as many as eight independent compartments. Each compartment has a series of candle housings mounted on Model ABS Absorption FilterEach ?lter element manifold assemblyis easily accessible for maintenance. removable tracks for easy removal of the ?lter candles without taking the remaining compartments of?ine. This concept also permits only one compartment to be of?ine at a time for ?lter cleaning. Additional ?lter vessels are not needed for full ?ow ?ltration while in cleaning mode because only a small percent-age of the total system ?lter ?ow is of?ine at any given time.Dirty oil is transferred from the dirty system reservoir to the individual chambers in the ?lter vessel. Each chamber of each vessel utilizes an automatic dirty inlet valve, air inlet valve, clean outlet valve, and dirty oil purge valve. During the cleaning cycle of a compartment, the dirty inlet, clean outlet and purge EQUIPMENT FEATURESStandard • Heavy-duty steel construction. • Multiple chamber design for ?exible operation and online cleaning without ?ltration interruption. • Removable manifold design for easy ?lter element maintenance. • Automatic ?lter element back?ush cleaning feature. • Virtually no pressure drop to prevent ?lter element fouling. • PLC control and touchscreen operator interface.Optional • Stainless steel construction. • Dirty oil recovery system.ABS FILTER ABS FILTERPrinted in U.S.A. FT236 2/04valves are closed. The automatic air inlet valve is opened. Low-pressure air ?ows back through the candles to release dirt from the ?lter surface. After a period of blow-down time, the dirty oil purge valve opens to remove all or a par-tial amount of dirty oil from the compartment. Because of the compartmentalized vessel design, a minimum amount of dirty oil is transferred to the recovery ?lter system. The resulting recovery ?lter ?ow rate is extremely low allowing ef?cient ?ltration and high clarity of rolling oil.A typical recovery system for the ABS system utilizes two cone bottom tanks, one for accumulation of dirty oil from the backwash of the ABS ?lter compartments, and one to act as a clean reservoir for the ?ltered recovery oil. An automatic indexing ?lter is used for recirculative ?ltering at a very low feed rate of the recovery oil. The ?lter utilizes disposable ?lter media to allow a dry discharge of the removed solids from the entire ABS system. Once clean oil is accumulated, a clean transfer pump sends the clean oil back to the main system reservoirs after passing through a secondary high clarity ?lter.Each vessel and its compartments are controlled via a PLC. The PLC control allows complete ?exibility for setting cleaning cycle increments, blow-down times, purge times, and compartment settling times.ABCD EFIGURE 1Optional Service HoistRemovable Housing RackTo Dirty Recovery TankTo Dirty TankFrom Dirty TankTo Clean TankModel ABS AutomaticControl ValvingSPECIFICATIONS Model† Dimensions in (cm) Number of Flow rate* Est.
