FILTRATION PROCESS:
Contaminated liquid from the supply source enters the filter element. The hydraulic and spring loaded forces compress the grooved discs. Compressing force is 9 psi for every 1 psi of working pressure. Solids and algae are retained on the burst proof filter element. The liquid percolates through the compressed discs and the solids are retained in the grooves. Outflow of filtered liquid for consumption or treatment.
BACKFLUSHING PROCESS:
A pulse is transmitted by a controller: Inlet is closed. Drain is opened. Tightening cylinder is activated. Tightening cylinder is withdrawn to relieve the pressure from the discs, allowing them to spin freely. Spinning is caused by the inflating sleeve which feeds spray nozzles through which forcible tangential jets are emitted. The jets cause rapid spinning of the discs while cleaning them. The retained particles are washed out.
