Operating principle

The Filtration Group AF 73 G and AF 93 G metal-edge filters belong to the small Vario series. The Filtration Group metal-edge filter system is used to filter and homogenise a wide range of liquids and pastes. This compact, inline filter system consumes no filter material, which means there is also no need for subsequent disposal. The filter is cleaned either automatically or semi-automatically without interrupting operation. The concentrated solids are drained off simply by opening the system for a short time. The medium to be cleaned is guided into the filter housing under pressure or in suction mode. It flows inward through the Filtration Group filter cartridge. The solids are separated on the surface of the triangular filter cartridge wires. The filtered fluid exits the filter housing at the top opposite the inlet connection. In the AF 93 G version, the tangential flow around the tube of the integrated preseparator relieves the load on the filter cartridge from coarse and heavy particles. The filter is cleaned either when a preset differential pressure limit is reached or after a specified cycle time elapses. The Filtration Group filter cartridge is rotated against a spring actuated scraper for this purpose. The special gap geometry of the filter cartridge guarantees efficient cleaning. The particles or agglomerates are skimmed from the surface and settle in the collection cone. The patented filter cartridge bearing (AKF system) prevents high axial forces and facilitates the cleaning process. The residue that has settled in the collection cone can be emptied via the drain valve either when the machine is at a standstill or during filtration.

    Performance curves

    Viscosity in 1 mm²/s
    Viscosity in 33 mm²/s
    Viscosity in 100 mm²/s
    Viscosity in 500 mm²/s

    y = volumetric flow V [l/min]
    x = gap width f [µm]

    The curves represent the volumetric flow through the entire filter system (filter housing including one filter element as an example) and refer to a differential pressure of 0.3 bar. Specific information about process data is essential for reliable operation of automatic filters.

    Important information about the performance curve! This is an example of a filter element of the type AF6016. The number of filter elements can be read from the type number key, see section 6.
