Pneumatic Disc Filter

Pneumatic Disc Filter for Continuous Filtration Operations

Pneumatic disc filter is designed to remove impurities on the inner surface of filter screen through vertical movement of scraper driven by air cylinder. It adopts a PTFE ring scraper and applies to filtration in highly viscosity liquids, corrosive, inflammable and explosive environments.

  • Fully automatic operation, 24-hour continuous on-line filtration;
  • Automatically discharge waste liquids containing high concentration impurities that can be recycled to reduce the loss of high value materials;
  • Closed filtration to prevent the leakage of hazardous materials and ensure the work safety and employee health;
  • Unique PTFE ring scraper are employed to remove impurities and applies to filtering viscous liquids.
  • A variety of control systems are available to offer powerful and efficient operation and meet customers' requirements.
  • Pre-assembled and tested for easy installation.
Working Principle

When the unfiltered liquid flows into the filter from the inlet, solid impurities are filtered out and deposited on the inner surface of the filter screen. The filtered liquid flows out from the outlet. When the filter screen needs cleaning, the cleaning procedure is initiated by a timer setting or triggered by a differential pressure sensor. A spring-tightened clean disc tightened with spring continuously scrapes the inner surface of the filter screen back and forth and removes the solids deposits. These impurities fall off and are discharged through the drain outlet.

Application

Traditional manual filters are frequently clogged when filtering viscous materials and soft impurities, self-cleaning filters can easily solve such problems and always keep the filter element clean. As a result, self-cleaning filters can replace traditional manual filters in many fields.
