Eaton Tubular Backwashing AFC AFR & F-Series Filters - 1

Tubular Backwashing Filter AFC, AFR & F-Series Reduce Waste, Improve Process Efficiency & Increase Product Quality TUBULAR BACKWASHING FEATURES & BENEFITS • Tight retentions (as low as 1 micron) with high flow rates— ideal for a wide range of process liquids and parameters • Eliminates the need for disposable media including bags and cartridges—reduces disposal costs, materials loss, labor, and inventory • Choice of configurations—available solutions to optimize your system for almost any filtration challenge • Modular scalable systems—your system can grow with your application demands • Automated clean-in-place operation—optimizes cleaning frequency and reduces labor demands • Wide range of operating pressures—capable of reliable operation and performance up to 1,000 psi (69 bar) Industry Leading Family of Solutions Eaton offers a full line of tubular backwashing solutions to meet your specific application demands and business needs. From the high-capacity AFR-Series for high flow in a compact footprint, to our simple single tube AFC-Series for stand-alone applications with low solids loading, there is an Eaton solution for any process. All Eaton filters are engineered for the best performance and value in every application. Barrier Filtration Backwash Cleaning Barrier filtration uses either stainless steel or a fabric screen, selected for its retention and flow properties. This filtration media, within the filter housing, collects debris on its surface because the liquid flows inward. Contaminants on the surface slowly form a barrier, capable of removing smaller particles. The core principle behind backwashing, when automated, is that the filters are designed to initiate a backwash sequence when the differential pressure reaches its set point. The flow of liquid is reversed, dislodging the debris that has built up on the surface of the filter media. A drain header, located at the base of the filter, provides an outlet for the debris to be purged from the system. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • city water lines • hot condensate • chiller water • fresh water • whitewater / shower water • cip fluids • papermaking wet end starch • pelletizer water • single and duo tubular filters for a wide range of applications up to 1000 psi and high viscosity applications
