Applications
Airpel's offers a range of filters used on liquid service from a simple Y-type strainer on a heating system to a fully automated self-cleaning filter system for a paint production line.
Airpel's range of basket filters are used where there is a requirement for a cost effective method of protecting pipeline equipment, cleaning liquids, or salvaging solids. All products feature quick-release covers and large filter screen areas. The dual range enables cleaning of the basket to be undertaken whilst the flow remains uninterrupted. It is important in such a filter that the valve mechanism is reliable and does not require regular maintenance. Naturally the market-leading Airpel design offers this feature. Airpel's basket filters are used world-wide in all industries including petrochemical, chemical, food, power, building, construction and many others.
Airpel self-cleaning filters have been designed specifically to provide efficient filtration of virtually all liquids, including those of high viscosity, while minimizing both disruption of flow and liquid loss during the element cleaning process. There is no operator contact with the process fluid. The high quality stainless steel wedge wire (or perforated) element is highly effective in removing contaminant particles as small as 25 micron (µm).
Cleaning is carried out by rotating the element against fixed scraper blades which remove debris from the surface of the element. This in turn is drained from the base of the filter.
The filter is available for either manual or fully automatic electric or pneumatic operation. The range of optional control devices make it particularly suitable for continuous processes and for service with high contamination levels.
