What Is An Industrial Self Cleaning Filter?
Types of Industrial Self Cleaning Filters
FiltEdge designs industrial self-cleaning filters mainly for high flow rates, high viscosity, and liquids that require high precision filtration. There are two main cleaning modes: backwashing and scraper rotation.
The three types of squeegee self-cleaning filters, internal squeegee/external squeegee/flexible squeegee, can provide the best filtration effect for your highly viscous liquids and avoid clogging downtime.
Mainly used in working conditions with high flow rate and low impurity content, such as circulating water, process water, etc. It can improve production efficiency and reduce labor cost for you.
The static filtration mode of slag filtration can improve the filtration precision to 0.1μm for you, which can not only obtain the clarified liquid, but also recover the expensive solid materials such as high-value catalyst.

Industrial Self-Cleaning Filter Applications
FiltEdge designs and manufactures self-cleaning filters for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, water treatment, paint and coating industries. You can use our industrial self-cleaning filters in the front-end of the filtration system as pre-filtration to protect your downstream equipments, such as production of ultrapure water, chip making, etc. You can also use our industrial self-cleaning filters at the back-end as fine filtration to improve product quality or to recover high-value solids, e.g. catalyst recovery, beverage clarification. Depending on the precision you choose, you can flexibly adjust the use of FiltEdge industrial self-cleaning filters by using them individually, in series, in parallel, and in other modes.
Customization of Industrial Self Cleaning Filters
You can not only customize the basic customization of filter size, pressure, flow rate, brand, packaging, etc. in our FiltEdge industrial self-cleaning filter factory, but also customize the 8 major functions according to the functions you need for your production line, such as pre-coating, zero residual liquid, follow-volume batch processing, spray cleaning, and so on. By combining the required functions like building blocks, you can satisfy your production needs and save a fortune at the same time. If your plant area and piping layout is limited, you can also customize the modular skidding filter, which not only saves your installation time, but also maximizes the extension of the filtration flow.

FiltEdge cartridges and screens are designed to be rugged and durable, with a service life of 2-5 years (depending on the liquid), during which time they generally do not need to be replaced. Later on, when they need to be replaced, they are also easy to replace because our industrial self-cleaning filters have a quick-change design.
FiltEdge’s industrial self-cleaning filters require no downtime during cleaning. Backwash and squeegee filters can be partially cleaned while filtering; candle filters have separate filtration and cleaning processes, but no downtime is required, and the filter elements can automatically return to a clean state and be put back into the next filtration.
Our industrial self-cleaning filters can handle liquids up to 150°C by choosing the right seal material. The regular pressure of our filters is 0.6-1.0MPa, and you can customize the filters for ≤2.5MPa.
The amount of cleaning water is not large, usually 1%-2% of the treatment flow rate, which is very energy-saving and environmentally friendly. The slag discharge of our filters depends on the solid content of your liquid, usually 1%-10% of the processed liquid, and the moisture content of the solid slag can be <20%, which reduces the drying process and saves costs for you.
