How the filter works

Paper Media System:

Cleanable Belt Paperless System:

Filtering cycle:

The pneumatic airbag holds the filter upper chamber against the lower chamber. Platen seals on the perimeter of the chambers create a liquid-tight seal completely around the filter media or cleanable belt.

Solids-bearing liquid is pumped under pressure into the upper chamber, forcing the liquid through the filter media or cleanable belt.

The filtered liquid is collected in the lower chamber and drains out.

Drying cycle:

When the filter pressure reaches 30-40 psi (or higher in some applications), pressurized air or gas is fed into the upper chamber. This forces the liquid through the filtered solids and media or cleanable belt.

After the solids are dried, as indicated by back pressure and time elapsed, the chamber is lifted.

Discharge cycle:

The solids are automatically discharged using a disposable media reroller or an endless cleanable belt conveyor. The belt discharges the filtered solids into a hopper.

After discharging, the upper chamber automatically descends and a new filtration cycle starts.
