TECHNICAL DATA
The liquid that needs filtering is introduced into the filter via a pump or pressurised pipe through a special diffuser placed on the bottom which distributes the liquid evenly and maintains the turbulence required to minimise settling. The liquid starts to drain through the filtering fabric stretched over the drum which then begins to fill up with filtered water. The liquid flows out from the inside of the drum through a pipe by force of gravity or is extracted by a suction pump.
Shaped parts on the sides of the rotating drum ensure that the fabric adheres perfectly to the drum so that only the filtered liquid passes through it.
The pollutant, meanwhile, is deposited on the filtering fabric forming a spongy layer which, in turn, contributes to the filtration process. When this layer becomes too thick and dense, the liquid can no longer pass through the clogged fabric, causing the liquid to rise until it reaches the maximum level allowed. At this point, the level sensor (mechanical or electronic) installed on the filter sends a starter signal to the drum rotation motor. The exhausted fabric full of sludge is removed from the filter into a bin or, if envisaged, is scraped free of the sludge and rewound, while new filtering fabric is introduced. To make the most of the filtering power of the layer of sludge deposit, only a few centimetres of filtering fabric are replaced.
The filtration process is completely automated. The operator must check the input of the clean filtering fabric. To further simplify the operation, a mechanical sensor which detects the “end of roll” is available on request. The roll changeover operations are also quick and easy to perform.
