Filtration: Plastic Filter Series

Filtration: Plastic Filter Series

All-purpose plastic filters from 3/4" to 3", for flow rates up to 220 gpm.

  • Easy maintenance: The filter elements can easily be extracted from the filter housing for rinsing.
  • Interchangeable filter element types ranging from 3500 to 22 micron to provide perfect protection for your system.
  • Available with exclusive features for semiautomatic cleaning.

Filter Elements
A wide range of filter elements and filtration degrees are available for Amiad's plastic filters.

Screen Elements
The screen elements are constructed of molded plastic ribs that support a stainless steel weave-wire screen or monofil polyester weave screen with filtration degrees from 22 to 800 micron.

For pre-filtration (also called straining) between 800 and 3500 micron, Amiad offers perforated stainless steel screens.

Suspended solids accumulate on the inside surface of the screen. The screen can be easily removed from the housing to be rinsed manually.

Water flows through the filter element from the inside out, so that suspended solids primarily accumulate on the lower end of the element and can be removed by means of a flush valve. The screen elements are especially suitable for separating inorganic particles and creating very low head loss.

The different filtration degrees are color-coded. The cylinder incorporates two O-rings to ensure perfect sealing inside the filter housing.

Disc Elements
These elements are constructed from plastic discs that are stacked onto a telescopic core. The discs are grooved on both sides. These grooves intersect to form the filtration element when compressed on the core. The disc element provides high retention of organic matter.

The effective filtration area is comprised of both the outside surface and the channels formed by the intersected grooves. Suspended organic particulate adheres to the grooved surface adding the element of depth to the filtration process.

Cleaning the disc element is made simple by the design of the telescopic core which allows the discs to separate during the cleaning process. Two O-rings provide perfect sealing inside the filter housing.

  • Amiad plastic filters are available with different filter elements to suit a variety of filtration requirements and degrees.
  • These all purpose filters are made with different engineering plastic materials that can be suited for mechanical strength and chemical and corrosion resistance.
  • The removable filter elements offer quick and easy cleaning without tools.
  • Amiad plastic filters may be upgraded to semi-automatic cleaning filters by adding a Turboclean (a), Brushway (b) or Scanaway (c) assembly. For detailed information check the specific brochures on semi-automatic filters.
  • An exclusive clogging indicator can be fitted on the pressure check points to let users view the condition of the filter element.
