FILTERAUTOMAT (DDF)
Extremely robust automatic filter
The Filterautomat boasts an extremely robust design and excellent backwash performance. The rotating filter drum distributes any solids uniformly over the entire filter surface and filters them out effectively.
Due to its robust design, larger particles such as branches can be crushed and safely discharged.

High productivity
The raw water enters the filter via the inlet flange and is distributed in the outer ring of the housing. Then the raw water rises upwards in the filter housing and flows into the three-part filter drum. In order to guarantee a uniform feed of solids on the filter element, the filter drum rotates at about 5-7 rpm. The solids in the raw water are retained in the segment-like openings on the outer part of the filter drum located on the outside of the filter element. The purified water leaves the filter through the clean water outlet.
Backwashing
A differential pressure measurement made between the raw water inlet and clean water outlet determines the degree of contamination of the filter element. At a defined differential pressure, the backwash process is activated. An adjustable time relay in the electrical control system additionally enables the backwash process. At the start of filter cleaning, the motor-driven backwash valve opens, generating atmospheric pressure in the backwash line and the flushing channels in the filter housing.
Due to the excess pressure inside of the filter drum on the clean water side, the solids retained on the outside of the filter element are now forcibly backwashed into the atmosphere against the direction of filtration. The rotation of the filter drum past the flushing channel guarantees the 100% cleaning of the filter basket. The flushing process is complete after 15-20 seconds and the backwash valve is closed automatically. Filtration is not interrupted during backwashing.
Drum roll
The filter drum consists of a sturdy inner and outer support basket. The filter element is located between these support baskets. The conical design allows the three individual parts to be fixed and screwed together with perfect dimensional accuracy. To give them special protection against corrosion, a high-quality powder coating is applied to the support baskets.

Sectional view
During assembly, the upper part of the filter is inserted into the filter housing, with the lower part of the filter drum being centered in the filter housing by a ring surface.

Wedge-wire screen filter element
The segment-like openings of the outer part of the filter drum can also retain coarser particles. These are then flushed out of the system
during the backwash process.

Complete Filterautomat
The filter housing contains two flushing channels situated opposite to each other. To prevent raw water from entering the flushing channels during the backwash process, the flushing openings are sealed off all around with sealing surfaces. The filter housing is coated with a standard two-part epoxy resin.
