Color-coded polypropylene or Nylon discs are grooved on both sides to a specific micron size. A series of these discs are then stacked and compressed on a specially designed spine. When stacked, the groove on top runs opposite to the groove below, creating a filtration element with a statistically significant series of intersecting grooves which trap the solids. The stack is enclosed in corrosion and pressure resistant housing.
During filtration, the discs are tightly compressed together by a combination of the spring's power and the differential pressure,
Thus providing high filtration efficiency. Filtration occurs while water is percolating from the outer diameter to the inner diameter of the element. Depending on the micron rating (See table), there are from 18 (in 400 micron discs) to 32 (in 20 micron discs) stopping points in each track, thus creating the unique in-depth filtration (Figure below).

The discs are stacked on the filter’s spine. The discs are color-coded by micron size, and are assembled according to your water filtration requirements. The spine assembly has a spring compression unit and an internal piston which operate during alternate filtering or backwashing modes.
The spine assembly is specially designed to compress the micron-grooved discs inside a corrosion and pressure resistant housing. Inside the housing, a spring and the pressure difference compress the discs tightly during the filtration process, forcing the water to flow between the grooves and traps of the stacked discs.
Automatic Backflush Operation:
Activated by a pre-defined command (differential pressure or time) alternate units of the system go into backwash operation. The inlet valve is shut as the drain is automatically opened.
During the backwash process, the compression spring is released and the pressure difference is eliminated. The spine piston climbs up, releasing the pressure on the discs. Tangential jets of clean water are hydraulically pumped at high pressure in the opposite direction through nozzles at the center of the spine. The discs spin free and clear, loosening the trapped solids. Solids are quickly and efficiently flushed out through the drain.

Advantage of Filtering SystemAdvantage | Characteristic |
Constant filtering efficiency | As core element of filter, the uniformity of groove style filtering superposition piece reaches to international first rate standard. The filter is in effect for all kinds of suspension impurity including inorganic and organic impurity. |
High efficiency backwash, energy and water saving | The unit of backwash will be finished for 7-20 sec only. In general the amount of consumed water in backwash is less than 0.5% of amount of filtering water. For viscosity impurity, high effective washing also be reached. The suitable scope is wider. |
Full automatic control, flow continuously | The filtering and backwash may be carried out at the same time. The loss of pressure and flow rate produced by automatic maintenance of system is less. The backwash is carried out in turn one by one and the others work normally. |
Low cost, reliable and long service life System | The system has been identified through IS9002 international quality system. And all the products are tested overall before sold. It's almost without daily maintenance, installation and convenient operation, reliability transportation. |
Application | Description | Function | Industry |
