Automatic Back-Flushing Filters from HYDAC

Contamination in process water and operating fluids contribute to the wear of system components, pipelines, and valves. It also harms the quality of end products. Manufacturers can improve their system lifetime and the quality of their end products by installing automatic filters into their systems. Filtration systems protect operational infrastructure and guarantee short maintenance times by removing solid particles from operating fluids. Automatic back-flushing filters provide additional advantages with their fully-automatic operation and ready-to-operate design.

HYDAC has been engineering and manufacturing automatic, self-cleaning filters since the 1980s. They maintain high quality and environmental management standards, adhering to DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001. Their range of automatic filters, AutoFilt®, has been highly successful in process technology thanks to their flow-optimized, robust design.
>Benefits of using automatic filters from the AutoFilt® series:

Cleanable filter materials
Longer service life for components further downstream
Less energy consumption
Improved process reliability
Proven quality

As an Engineering Partner, Systems Integrator, and Value-Added Distributor (ESV), Morrell Group can help you select the proper automatic back-flushing filter for your system and properly size the filter elements. We work alongside your maintenance or engineering teams to gather a complete understanding of how your system works so we can optimize your automatic filter system. Our qualified engineering and sales teams can assist in commissioning your new back-flushing filter to ensure your retrofitting process goes smoothly.

Morrell Group and HYDAC understand that filter elements can be a determining factor when evaluating a system's performance. The conical shape of the filter elements used in the AutoFilt® series supports consistent flow through the filter element, which results in a low-pressure drop and cleaning of the filter element. See savings in filter element replacements and reduced downtime with the cleanable filter elements from HYDAC.

The conical elements are available as wedge wire or SuperMesh types. SuperMesh filter elements from HYDAC have exceptional stability thanks to sintered element technology. Their design makes them highly effective for cleaning, avoiding particle build-up between the layers of the filter element. The SuperMesh elements have a self-supporting structure, which allows them to be up to 40% larger than their wire mesh counterparts with a support layer.

The flow-optimized design of the AutoFilt® RF3 allows for the maximum utilization of the filter area to separate solid particles from low-viscosity fluids. Automatic back-flushing is triggered by exceeding the differential pressure point, using a set timer function, or manually pressing a "Test" button. It is fully automatic in operation, including process monitoring and self-diagnosis. The easy-to-view and easy-to-use AutoFilt® Control Unit (ACU) allows users to monitor operations at all times. Users can take advantage of remote monitoring via their smartphone or tablet.

The AutoFilt® RF4 is a compact automatic back-flushing filter from HYDAC that removes particles from low-viscosity fluids such as coolants and water. Its back flush is triggered automatically when the differential pressure trigger point is exceeded, but it can also be triggered manually when the visual clogging indicator responds. The RF4 is fully automatic in operation and ready to operate. The RF4 has built-in self-diagnosis and process monitoring with optional remote monitoring via smartphone or tablet.

The AutoFilt® RF7 from HYDAC is a self-cleaning automatic back-flushing filter with a space-saving, horizontal design. Its pivoting lid allows for easy access inside the filter. This fully automatic back-flushing filter is ready-to-operate, particularly in systems with limited space. Its conical filter elements improve efficiency in separating solid particles from low-viscosity fluids. Automatic back-flushing is triggered by exceeding the differential pressure trigger point, using a set timer, or manually pressing the "Test" button.
