DCF Series

The DCF series is ideal for highly viscous, abrasive or sticky liquids. The DCF units operate at a consistently low differential pressure and deliver simple, reliable operation in which a low initial investment is a key driving factor.

When processing water and water-like liquids and a low initial investment is demanded, DCF single actuator models deliver tremendous benefits.

Available in 400, 800 and 1600 sizes, the DCF series enables operation at a vast range of flow rates and retentions.

The DCF-800D and DCF-1600D are also available in twin actuator models, which are designed for the rigours of processing highly viscous, abrasive, sticky or otherwise hard-to-process liquids. DCF filters are suitable for a broad spectrum of challenging applications and accommodate a wide range of flow and retention requirements.

FEATURES

  • Elimination of or reduction in disposable filter elements to reduce operator intervention, inventory costs and landfill waste
  • Minimum contaminant purge in a highly concentrated waste stream for a reduction in product loss
  • Reduction in or elimination of operator intervention for safer operation
  • Virtually maintenance-free, negligible downtime
  • Compact design, lower capital cost to fit most installations
  • Stainless steel screens from 15-micron slots to 1/4” perforations to handle a wide range of filtration needs
  • Available with UHMWPE, urethane, Teflon or Kynar® cleaning discs
