Summary

Product Identification

The ABV series filters are automatic self-cleaning filters featuring a double cleaning system. They utilize a combined action of brushes and vacuum pads, making them particularly suitable for river water and handling coarse suspended solids.

General Features

  • Double Cleaning System: Combines brushes for coarse solids and vacuum pads for finer solids.
  • Multi-layers screens: Available with various filtration degrees.
  • Continuous Flow: No interruption during the cleaning cycle.
  • Robust and Economic: Designed for automated filtration.
  • Simple and Reliable: Cleaning mechanism with special pads and brushes.

Operating Limits

  • Min working pressure: 2 bar (29 psi) (during cleaning cycle)
  • Max working pressure: 10 bar (145 psi)
  • Max working temperature: 60 °C (140 °F)

Feed Water

  • Flow rates are referred to 100 µm filter screen, water with NTU < 1 and temperature of 20 °C.

Filtration Screens

  • Screen Area: Available up to 11,000 cm² (1705 in²) across different filter sizes.
    • Smallest filter size: 1,600 cm² (248 in²)
    • Largest filter size: 11,000 cm² (1705 in²)
  • Filtration Degrees: 1000 / 800 / 500 / 400 / 200 / 100 / 50 / 25 / 10 µm
