AF 173 G with external backwash
The AF 173 G automatic filter with external backwashing was specifically designed for all applications using low-viscosity fluids. These compact filters regenerate the filter surface automatically without interrupting flow, concentrating suspended particles in a small volume of fluid at the outlet. The stainless steel version also allows for implementation in the food and cosmetics industries.

Applications
Filtration of
- coolants for mechanical processing – low-viscosity oil and water-oil emulsion
- process water
- diesel fuel and fuel oil
- low-viscosity polymers
- Ideal for solid-liquid concentrations up to 2,000 mg/l
- Automatic operation with timer or differential pressure control
- Installed power: 0.18 kW
- Filtration range: 10–200 µm
- Maximum flow rate: up to 370 l/min
- Compact design
- Low operating costs, reduced installed power, and no consumable filter media
- Cleaning in real time, without interrupting flow
- Long life thanks to solid construction and high-quality materials
- The filter operates under pressure and must be installed on the feed pump outlet
- The cleaning fluid pressure must be higher than the filter inlet pressure
- The filter’s clogging status is monitored by a differential pressure switch
- The filter element can be restored using an ultrasonic bath or manual cleaning with a high-pressure jet
