Automatic Backwash Filter

Product Details:

A JAGTAP wedge wire backwash filter is a type of filtration system used primarily for removing suspended solids from various liquids in industrial applications. The design incorporates wedge-shaped wires to create a filter element that allows for efficient filtration while also facilitating easy backwashing to clean the filter media.

Here's a general overview of the automatic wedge wire backwash filter:

Components:

1. JAGTAP Wedge Wire Screen: This is the primary filtering element made up of wedge-shaped wires. These wires create a V-shaped opening that allows for the passage of liquid while trapping solid particles.

2. Backwash System: An automatic backwash system is integrated into the filter to facilitate periodic cleaning of the filter media. This system usually consists of a backwash pump, control valves, and a control panel.

3. Housing: The filter housing is designed to contain the wedge wire screen and facilitate the flow of liquid through the filter. It is typically made of corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel.
   
   Working Principle:

1. Filtration: As the liquid flows through the wedge wire screen, suspended solids are trapped on the surface, allowing only clean liquid to pass through.

2. Accumulation: Over time, the trapped solids accumulate on the surface of the wedge wire screen, leading to a gradual increase in pressure drop across the filter.

3. Backwashing: When the pressure drop reaches a predetermined level or based on a set time interval, the automatic backwash system is activated. The backwash pump reverses the flow direction, and the control valves redirect the flow to the filter housing in the opposite direction.

4. Cleaning: The reverse flow dislodges the trapped solids from the wedge wire screen, allowing them to be carried away through the backwash outlet. This process effectively cleans the filter media and restores its filtration efficiency.

5. Rinse and Return: After the backwashing cycle, the flow direction is restored to its normal direction, and the filter resumes its filtration operation. Some systems may include a rinse cycle to ensure complete removal of trapped solids.
   
   Advantages:

1. Efficient Filtration: The wedge wire design provides a high level of filtration efficiency, making it suitable for applications requiring fine particle removal.

2. Automatic Cleaning: The automatic backwash system eliminates the need for manual intervention, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing downtime.

3. Versatility: Wedge wire backwash filters can be customized to meet specific application requirements, including varying flow rates, particle sizes, and operating conditions.
   
   In summary, JAGTAP automatic wedge wire backwash filter offers an efficient and automated solution for removing suspended solids from liquids in industrial processes. Proper design, operation, and maintenance are essential to ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the filtration system.
