Automatic disc filters series HF-A
Automatic disc filters series HF-A
One of the types of mechanical filters designed to clean water from insoluble impurities is disk filters. These devices are widely used in everyday life, industry and agriculture, replacing mesh filters previously used for mechanical water treatment. Compared to them, disk filters are characterized by higher performance and mud capacity of the filter element.
Scope of application
Disk filters are widely used in the field. Agricultural industry, desalination such as metallurgy, electronics and plants, drinking water treatment, oil refining, gas and chemical industry, industrial water, etc.
| Application area | FilteringPrecision |
| Getting pre drinking water | 20μ |
| Production of process water for spraying equipment (nozzles,drip irrigation, etc.) | 50μ |
| Closed loop water filtration | 100/130μ |
| Secondary wastewater treatment | 200μ |
Principle of action
Disc water treatment devices are equipped with a special filter element. It is a block consisting of a set of relief polymer disk rings, which, when compressed, form a three-dimensional mesh structure that holds particles solvent free in water. At the same time, the area of the working surface of the block (cartridge) corresponds to the total area of all disk rings in the package.
This makes the cleaning device more compact while increasing cleaning efficiency.
the filtering area:
2 inch unit (2 inch) -1600 cm²;
3 inch unit (3 inch) -1600 cm²;
4 inch unit (4 inch) -3200 cm²;
Design features
In the system of disk water filters, energy consuming elements are represented by electromagnetic valves (power consumption up to 8 W), as well as by a control controller (power consumption up to 100 W).
The operation of the filter is controlled by a programmable logic controller, which initiates the flushing of the filter by signals from various sensors.
For example
Signal from the differential pressure relay when the pressure difference is exceeded at the inlet and exit of the filter (usually with a difference of 0.5-0.7 bar);
By command of a timer with a predetermined time interval determined empirically for each system and operating conditions;
By signal from an external sensor;
More advanced controllers allow you to use any of the above events available for programming.
Disc filter enclosures are made of fiberglass reinforced polyamide (PA), and disk filter elements (rings) are made of strong and light polymer-polypropylene (PP).
These materials are not subject to corrosion, do not react with chemically aggressive substances, and are also resistant to temperature changes.
Chemically resistant models of disk water filters can be used with seawater.
Advantages of disk filters
Simple design.
Wide range of applications.
Wide range of performance at compact sizes (from 6 to 300 m ³/ h).
Subtlety of cleaning from 20 to 200 μm.
Possibility of use in complex water treatment systems.
Fast manual or automatic flushing.
Chemical resistant materials.
Does not require consumables.
Maintenance does not require large material costs.
High strength characteristics with low weight.
Long service life.
Optimum operating conditionsfor disc filters are:
minimum filter inlet pressure 2 bar;
maximum pressure 8 bar;
maximum temperature ≤60 °C;
pH range 4-13
The disc filter elements are color-coded to indicate the acceptable filtration level (screening threshold). A palette of five colors is used. For the finest cleaning (up to 20 microns), a gray filter disc element is used. Then in ascending order:
Recommendations for choosing a disc filter
Depending on the degree of contamination of water, it can be classified into:
Water of class 1 (Relatively clean) – water used for urban water supply.
Water class 2 (Slightly polluted) – water taken from open sources of good quality water supply; circulating cooling circuits; well water from artesian sources; water that has passed the settling stage with coagulation, etc.
Class 3 water (Polluted) – well water from aquifers of medium quality; waste water that has undergone biological treatment; water from open water sources with a lot of bacteria, etc.
Water class 4 (Dirty) – water with a high content of iron and manganese; water from land sources of poor quality; polluted water as a result of floods, floods; waste water that has not passed the stage of biological treatment
