New Eaton Backwash Pressure Filter System Provides Powerful High-Flow Filtration in a Compact Footprint
Eaton's innovative new AFR Series Tubular Backwash Filter System is designed for continuous, high flow filtration (single system flow rates up to 2000 gpm and 454 m³/hr) with flexibility to meet current and future system capacity requirements. The system is designed to replace a much larger 8 station tubular multiplex system in a compact, one square meter footprint.
A single, rotating flow diverter replaces multiple valves, actuators, linkages, and seals required by other systems - minimizing the number of moving parts for low cost operation and long service life. The AFR uses cleanable media in a wide selection of filter media materials and retention rates to eliminate labor and disposal costs as well as lost productivity associated with replaceable bags and cartridges.
Isolated top-to-bottom backwash flow provides operator-free service and ensures complete and efficient media cleaning while continuing to deliver filtered product downstream.
The AFR Series is available with larger filter bodies to handle higher flow rates and Eaton's ACCUFLUXT media to dramatically increase filter surface area for even higher capacity in the same footprint.
