F Series

For liquid filtering that requires unattended operation, maximum uptime, and solids removal from 1 to 1,700 microns, the F-Series delivers unbeatable performance.

The key to the F-Series’ versatility is its modular design that enables future capacity and configuration flexibility. F-Series systems can include 2 to 20 body tubes on a single framed skid and can be ordered with blank stations to allow low-cost expanded capacity.

The F-Series uses cleanable media. This further reduces life cycle costs and maximizes productivity by eliminating the labor, replacement, and disposal costs of bags and cartridges. Three types of elements are offered: single element with 0.23 m² of surface area, the Tri-Cluster^® with 0.33 m² of surface area,  or the Accuflux^® 7 with 0.51 m² of surface area.

The F-Series features 3-way ball valves, automated cleaning with direct mounted actuators and solenoids, and available blank stations for easy future expansion.

How the F-Series Works

When cleaning is required, triggered by time or pressure differential, a single valve removes the tube to be back-washed from the incoming flow stream. The resulting pressure drop redirects a portion of the clean process flow downward, flushing the contaminants to the drain manifold. When process liquids are very valuable or hazardous, an external back-wash configuration, which uses a small amount of cleaning liquid introduced through a separate manifold,  is recommended. External backwashing is also recommended when operating  pressures are expected to be less than 3.1 bar.
