AutomaticSelf-CleaningWater Filters FW100EX – FW350 100 - 350mm (4”-14”)FILTAWORX® range of fully automatic self cleaning filters have been designed and built in Australia by an experienced team of engineers using the latest 3D CAD software. FILTAWORX® filters are one of the most technically innovative self-cleaning filters available , combining proven high performance, reliability and economy in a compact robust design. Features include:? Stainless steel filter body as standard.? All parts are made of corrosion resistant materials.? Fully automatic back flush operation. ? Available with hydraulic or electric controls.? Large filtration area.? Wide range of fine screen sizes, 50 to 800 microns.? Standard sizes from DN50 to DN350 (2” – 14”).? Pressure rating of PN10 as standard.? Simple and quick installation.? Full support and after sales service.? Designed built and tested in Australia.Advantages of FILTAWORX® Automatic FiltersHow FILTAWORX® WorksStainless Steel body for corrosion resistance in most environments.Cleaning Mechanism: The key feature to FILTAWORX® performance and reliability is the use of the escaping backflush water to rotate the internal cleaning mechanism inside the filter vessel. No external motor, mechanism or power is required, reducing the number of moving/wearing parts to a minimum.Automatic Operation of the self cleaning backflush cycle is achieved when a pre-set pressure drop (40 – 50 kPa) across the filter is reached. 100% cleaning as every spot on the fine screen surface is cleaned with a high velocity, aggressive backflush flow.No External Power is required (when using the hydraulic controlled filter). All functions are powered by the line pressure only. All controls required come complete with the filter.Uninterrupted Flow during the backflush cycle.More Screen Area than any other comparable filter available.Positive Filtration using a precision 316 stainless steel mesh screen.Wide Range of Filtration screen sizes available from 50 to 800 micron enabling correct selection for each application. Screens can easily be replaced on-site to alter the degree of filtration if required.Compact and Simple Installation can be mounted in any position or orientation, with minimal space requirements.High Reliability due to minimal moving parts, simple design and robust construction make FILTAWORX filters virtually maintenance free.During normal filtering mode the raw water enters the Inlet of the filter, passes through the Coarse Screen (1), (the 7 mm perforations remove large debris that may obstruct the lower mechanism). Water then travels to the inside and through the Fine Screen (2) to the Outlet. The solids in the water are trapped on the Fine Screen (2), eventually causing a pressure drop (DP) across the filter. At a pressure drop of 40 – 50 kPa the Controller (8) activates the cleaning cycle by opening the Flush Valve (5) to drain (atmosphere).The interconnection of the Suction Nozzles (4) via the Dirt Collector (3) to the Drain causes a back flushing or ‘vacuum clean’ effect on the Fine Screen (2) with a high velocity suction jet of water from the clean side of the screen, removing the dirt on the screen as it passes through. The water escaping via the Rotor (7) causes the Dirt Collector and Suction Nozzle assembly (3 & 4) to rotate. The Piston (6) moves this assembly down the length of the Fine Screen (2) in a spiralling motion, cleaning the entire screen surface area in approximately 15 seconds. The Flushing Valve (5) closes, and the Piston (6) is returned to its original position, ready for the next cycle. Cleaning also occurs on the return stroke. 7 ROTOR6 PISTONPISTONMOVEMENTDIRT COLLECTORMOVEMENTFLUSH OUTLET OPENDIRTY WATER TO DRAINOUTLETFILTERED WATERINLETRAW WATERDRAIN 2 FINE SCREEN 1 COARSE SCREEN8 CONTROLLER AIR RELEASE VALVE 4 SUCTION NOZZLE5 VALVE3 DIRT COLLECTORROTOR CHAMBERTypical Application AreasTechnical SpecificationsIrrigation For the protection of all types of irrigation systems including: drip, micro jet, sprinkler and golf course irrigation systems, from all types of sources including treated effluent.Cooling Towers and Process WaterRemoval of algae, sludge, pipe scale, process impurities and atmospheric contamination, thereby maximising heat transfer efficiency, reducing maintenance, energy and chemical treatment costs of up to 30-50%. Significant reductions in sludge build-up in basins that sustains and shields legionella bacteria, ensuring a healthier & safer environment.Surface and Ground WaterFor protection of plant and equipment from contamination found in sea, rivers, dams, bores, and other water sources.Equipment ProtectionFor pump gland seals, bearings, compressors, valves, etc.Nozzle ProtectionEliminates blocked nozzles, keeping them clean and open thereby reducing maintenance.Membrane & UV ProtectionRemoving problem sized solids that reduce the effectiveness of membranes and UV.Effluent and Water Re-UseAllows the re-use/recycling of effluent and other poor quality water within water treatment plants, industrial process systems, pulp and paper mills, mines, irrigation etc.Town Water SupplyRemoves algae, organisms, sand and silt from surface water streams, dams, reservoirs and bores, reducing chemical treatment and maintenance costs.Screen sizes available: 50, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 400, 800 micronFlanges available: Table “D” or “E”, ANSI 150 and ISO/DINStandard Materials of Construction: 304 Grade St/St Body & other parts, 316 St/St Mesh Fine Screes, Brass, Glass reinforced Nylon, NBR & EPDM Seals316 St/St Body available on requestMax Working Pressure: 10 bar (150psi)Min.
