Self Cleaning Filters

Automatic Filtration
Siga Filtration self-cleaning filters provide continuous filtration of low and medium viscosity liquids and have very low maintenance requirements. The KSF Series self-cleaning filters do not require backflushing which results in less fluid waste, zero interruption, and fewer maintenance parts.

Applications: 
Filtration of low to medium viscosity liquids in water, wastewater, inks, paint, varnishes, oils, and food industry

Operation:
1- Liquid travels from outside to inside the wedge wire element.
2- Dirt particles are deposited outside the element.
3- A Scraper plate rotated by an electric motor, continuously scrapes off the dirt.
4- Dirt is deposited in vessel sump.
5- A manual drain valve can be used to remove the dirt from the vessel at regular intervals. Alternatively, an optional pneumatically operated valve with a timer can be used to remove dirt automatically at timed intervals.
