METALEDGE® INNOVATIVE SELF-CLEANING FILTERS

METALEDGE® Innovative Self-Cleaning Filters Metaledge fi lters come in fi ve models depending on the desired fl ow rate and fi ltration rating. The smaller units feature a “T” handle, which the operator turns by hand to clean the element. The larger fi lters employ a motor and motor drive, which rotates the element against a stationary knife blade. 01 METALEDGE Metaledge® Series fi lters are self-cleaning fi lter systems designed for a wide variety of liquid process applications. The fi lter systems feature a cylindrical, cleanable fi lter element. An integral knife blade cleans the fi lter by...

METALEDGE 02 FEATURE DIAGRAM 1 As fl uid fl ows through the fi lter, contaminants collect on the surface of the fi lter element, which is sized for your application. Smaller particles pass through the media without clogging the element. The Metaledge® element rotates against the stationary cleaning knife, causing particles larger than the opening to be scraped off the element; smaller particles will pass through the element.

INNOVATIVE SELF-CLEANING FILTERS 03 METALEDGE MEDIA: Metaledge® fi lter media feature a fi ne wedge-shaped metal ribbon wound helically on a perforated metal core. The space between each ribbon determines the micron rating of the fi lter. This space is precisely controlled by forming projections on the ribbon during the winding process. The tapered fl ow paths in a Metaledge element prevent clogging. Particles that fail to pass through may fall off or can be scraped off the surface by the cleaning knife. ELEMENT KITS: Metaledge elements are extremely durable, often lasting for years. Applications...

9.92" 05 METALEDGE The F-190 is our smallest Metaledge fi lter assembly. Featuring a cast iron head and a steel bowl, the F-190 has a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, and maximum fl ow rate of 24 gpm. This fi lter provides an element-cleaning knife, which is rotated around the element by turning a “T” handle. The F-190 is designed for applications where batch processing, low fl ow rates, or fi lter portability is required. Such applications include boiler fuel oil, or truck-mounted installations. STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS: Housing: Cast iron head and steel bowl with enamel coating Element...

F-140 FILTER The F-140 is a medium-size Metaledge fi lter assembly. Made from a stainless steel head and bowl, the F-140 has a maximum operating pressure of 100 psi, and maximum fl ow rate of 48 gpm. This fi lter features a “T” handle, which the operator turns by hand to clean the element. This action causes the fi lter element to rotate against a stationary cleaning knife. This scraping action removes the contaminant from the surface of the fi lter element. The F-140 is designed for applications where batch processing, low fl ow rates, or fi lter portability is required. Such applications include...

07 METALEDGE F-141 FILTER The F-141 is a medium size Metaledge fi lter assembly. With a stainless steel head and bowl, the F-140 has a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, and maximum fl ow rate of 82 gpm. This fi lter features a motor-driven element, which can be programmed to rotate continuously against a stationary cleaning knife, or programmed to periodically rotate based on time or differential pressure. A “T” handle for manual operation is available as an option. The F-141 is designed for medium fl ow applications where intermittent or continuous fi lter cleaning is required. Such applications...

G-144 FILTER The G-144 is our largest Metaledge fi lter model. Made from a stainless steel head casting and a stainless steel bowl, the G-144 has a maximum operating pressure of 125 psi, and maximum fl ow rate of 291 gpm. This fi lter features a motor driven element which can be programmed to rotate continuously against a stationary cleaning knife, or can be programmed to periodically rotate based on time or differential pressure. The G-144 is designed for high fl ow applications where continuous fi lter cleaning is required. Such applications include toothpaste, paints and coatings, and lube...
