The bottom of the main holding
tank is constructed of filter panels of reinforced perforated
steel plate to support synthetic filter media.
|
2.
|
The filter system pump draws fluid though
the media and returns it directly to the point of use of
machine tools. The pump handles only clean, filtered liquid,
which contributes to long pump life and low maintenance.
|
3.
|
The solids retained on the media surface form
a filter cake. As the filter cake deepens, the fluid path
becomes restricted, removing finer particulate and increasing
efficiency of filtration.
|

|
When the pressure drop across the media reaches
a preselected set point, the automatic regeneration cycle
is started.
|
5.
|
During the regeneration cycle, the vacuum under the media
is dissipated, releasing the media. The system pump now draws
fluid from the clean regeneration tank.
|
6.
|
After a short delay, the conveyor “dragout” is
activated and advances several inches to carry media and
contaminants for disposal. The dirt cake is discharged in
a “near-dry” state because the solids remain
on the filter inclined ramp for several regeneration cycles
during which excess liquid drains back into the dirty holding
tank. At the top of the ramp, solids fall into a hopper.
