WRITE UP FOR WORKING DESCRIPTION OF AUTO BACKWASH FILTER

Wedge Wire Element and Liquid gets out of the outlet of the Filter Nozzle. As the Filter Element gets choked the Pressure Drop across the Differential Pressure Gauge across the Inlet and Outlet Filter which is provided increases. Normally maximum Differential Pressure for backwashing is set as 0.5 Kg/cm2. When the Differential Pressure reaches the set limit the Differential Pressure Gauge / Switch gives a signal to the Control Panel and the Control Panel gives a signal to the Geared Motor and Actuated Drain Valve. The Top Geared Motor starts rotating 3600 with 10- 15 RPM, simultaneously the Motorized Drain Valve also gets opened to the atmosphere. Backwash Arm is a hollow pipe and which is connected directly to the Manual Drain Valve. Whenever the open portion of the Backwash Arm comes in front of the Element there is a heavy Differential Pressure gets created between the Filter and complete Backwash Arm followed by Drain line, resulting the water flow in reverse direction from Filter Element toward Backwash Arm. During this process all the impurities collected inside the Filter Element gets sucked by the Drain Valve and get discharged through Drain Valve. In 4- 5 rotations the Filters get cleaned. Normally this Backwash cycle is 30- 40 seconds and the loss of water during Backwash is around 2- 3% of the inlet water quantity. There is a Timer (Range 0 to 24 hrs) provided which is normally set for 2- 3 hours. Incase Differential Pressure does not reaches the set limit in that duration the Timer givea a signal to the Control Panel and the Backwash Cycle gets initiated. There is also a Selector Switch provided in the Control Panel so incase you need to operate the Backwash Operation manually you can change the selector switch and can have Backwash Operation by Push Button. Auto Backwash Filter system is a fully Automatic Self Cleaning Filter for removal of entrained solids from fluids in pipe line systems. The simple construction and the fully automatic back flushing not only guarantee a high operating safety but also keeps running cost to a minimum.
