Operating Limits

• AFC-Series: High-pressure operation up to 69 bar (1000 psi).

General Features

• Automatic backwashing for operator-free service and minimal backwash effluent (<2% of system volume for F, AFC, AFR Series).
• Exclusive idL Seal for leak-free service (available up to 30" for 2596 Series).
• Unitized/modular assembly for easy maintenance.
• Compact design.
• Eliminates the need for disposable media, reducing disposal costs, labor, and inventory.
• Reduction in product loss and a more thorough contaminant purge.
• Virtually maintenance-free with near 100% uptime.
• Smooth pipe and nozzle connection transitions to avoid dead spots and minimize pressure drop (F, AFC, AFR Series).
• Isolated top-to-bottom backwash for complete and efficient media cleaning (F, AFR Series).
• 3-way valves on multiplex filters allow fast, frequent sequencing and maximum backwashing cleaning force (F, AFC Series).
• Cenpeller™ technology improves circular flow, forcing debris against the element surface for easier and more efficient backwashing (2596 Series).
• Magnetically coupled actuation eliminates dynamic seals (MCF, MCS).
• Easy in-line installation (MCS).
• Continuous 24/7 operation (MCS, MCF even during cleaning cycles).
• Easy no-tools access for routine maintenance and service (MCF - 5 minutes only!).
• Various modifications (ETO) possible on request.
• Design Codes:
  • AD2000
  • CE stamp acc. PED is available
  • EN13445 or ASME Section VIII Div. 1 code stamp available on request
