Separation filter systems, or separator filter systems, operate on the principle of removing solids and particles with a specific gravity higher than water from water by the effect of centrifugal force. A centrifugal effect occurs when water enters tangentially in the inlet compartment. Therefore, particles heavier than water move towards the walls of the device and reach the collection area by spiral movements. The particles collected at the bottom of the filter are discarded periodically or continuously manually or automatically.
Characteristics of separation filters
Separator filters can operate 24 hours without interruption.
They retain all particles up to 70 microns.
They can operate in high capacity ranges.
They have an automatic self-cleaning function.
The water must not be stopped during cleaning.
No spare parts required, no moving parts inside.
Its maintenance consists of cleaning the chamber, where solids collect.
The pressure loss is constant, there is no change in flow even at high capacity.
As there is no filter element inside, there is no risk of clogging.
