Our self-cleaning backwash filters stand out for their durability, automation, and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for businesses seeking efficient and low-maintenance filtration systems.
In this article, we’ll explore:
✔ How backwash filters work
✔ Key features & advantages
✔ Applications across industries
✔ Why our filters offer the best value
How it works
A backwash filter is a self-cleaning filtration system that removes suspended solids from liquids (water, oil, chemicals) without manual intervention. Here’s how it operates:
1. Filtration Phase – The liquid flows through the filter media (e.g., screen, mesh, or granular bed), trapping contaminants while clean fluid passes through.
2. Clogging Detection – When pressure builds up due to accumulated debris, the system triggers a cleaning cycle.
3. Backwashing Phase – The flow reverses, flushing trapped particles out through a drain valve.
4. Resume Filtration – Once cleaned, the filter returns to normal operation automatically.
This closed-loop process ensures uninterrupted filtration with minimal maintenance.
Key Features
1. Self-Cleaning Automation
✔ No manual cleaning required – Reduces labor costs and downtime.
✔ Programmable controls – Adjust backwash frequency based on pressure or time.
✔ Remote monitoring – IoT-enabled models allow real-time performance tracking.
2. High Filtration Efficiency
✔ Removes particles as small as 10-100 microns (depending on mesh size).
✔ Handles high flow rates (up to 1000+ m³/h) for large-scale operations.
3. Robust & Long-Lasting Construction
✔ Stainless steel or carbon steel housing for corrosion resistance.
✔ Heavy-duty screens that withstand abrasive fluids.
4. Energy & Water Saving
✔ Optimized backwash cycles minimize water waste.
✔ Low-pressure drop reduces pump energy consumption.
Applications
Our filters are widely used in industries where clean fluid is critical:
1. Water Treatment
✔ Municipal water plants – Removing sand, algae, and sediments.
✔ Wastewater recycling – Pre-filtering before reverse osmosis (RO) systems.
2. Industrial Processes
✔ Cooling systems – Preventing pipe clogging in power plants & refineries.
✔ Chemical processing – Filtering corrosive liquids without degradation.
3. Irrigation & Agriculture
✔ Drip irrigation – Protecting nozzles from blockages.
✔ Aquaculture – Maintaining clean water for fish farms.
4. Oil & Gas
✔ Produced water treatment – Separating solids from oil/water mixtures.
✔ Hydraulic systems – Ensuring contaminant-free lubricants.
