Tubular Filters

The Auto-Shok™ Tubular Filter has several design features which assure proper cleaning on every cycle.

 

The advantages of the tube filter design are :


  • Self-contained internal backwash liquid source. No external backwash pumps or tanks are required.
  • Rapid cleaning cycles which result in minimum downtime. Many times this can eliminate the need for an additional filter.
  • The entire tube bundle is removable as a unit for easy replacement and/or maintenance.
  • A small footprint of the filter minimizes installation costs and facilitates installation in existing locations.
  • Minimum auxiliary equipment requirements further reduce costs and ease installation. This filter has been used for many applications depending on the precoat material. Materials include diatomaceous earth, cellouse, powdered ion exchange resin and more.

Summary

The Auto-Shok™ Tubular Filter is a classical tubular filter. The filter consists of a vertical vessel with tubes suspended from a tube sheet. The filtration is from the outside of the tube to the inside. The filtered liquid then flows up the inside of the tube through the openings in tube sheets into the top head. The top head area serves as a reservoir to filtered liquid.
