PistonFlo Self-cleaning Filter
Introduction
PistonFlo® self-cleaning filter, is the new high performance scraping self-cleaning filter independently developed by LIVIC. It automatically removes the particles and impurities from the filter element internal surface by mechanical scraping and it can continuously work on-line. PistonFlo® self-cleaning filter is designed for filtration of high viscosity up to 800000mPa.s. The filtration degree ranges for 50-1500μm. It can scrape the impurities off the filter element surface most quickly, which makes it more efficiently removing the impurities. It is applicable for water and various viscous liquid. PistonFlo® self-cleaning filter is designed and manufactured by following LIVIC´s high performance, high quality and high reliability standard.It is a world-class quality filter. We are proud that we offerPistonFlo® self-cleaning filter with the highest reliability, advanced filter elements and the comprehensive models. We are the world-leading manufacturer of this kind of filter and we offer customers the proven automatic filtration technology for viscous liquid.
Working Principle
[Filtering Status]Liquid enters the filter, passes the scraper and flows across the filter element from inside to outside. The impurities are blocked on the inner element surface. The liquid flows out from the outlet. After running for a period, more and more impurities accumulate and the pressure drop increases.
[Cleaning Status]The scraper moving down, the impurities are pushed down to the bottom. The scraper moving up, the remaining impurities are pushed to the top of the filter element and then flushed off by the liquid. The scraper moving down, the impurities is scraped off again. When cleaning, the filter works on-line continously.
[Purging Status]After several cleaning cycles, the impurities accumulate more and more. Open the valve periodically and purge the waste liquid of high impurity concentration, which can be recovered if necessary.
