Air Backwashing Filtration

Reduce water consumption up to 50%

The perfect solution for water reuse in today’s commercial laundries.

• Fully automatic,
• Minimises backwash volume,
• Reduces filter element replacement along with associated disposal cost,
• Reduces maintenance,
• It can help laundries using conventional equipment reduce total water consumption to levels achievable by tunnel washers.
• Filters the rinses to 100 microns making them suitable for flush, suds and bleach cycles.
• Because air is used for backwashing, the waste fluid volume is minimised.
• Savings may be realised in associated chemical costs and water softening.

How it Operates

Wastewater flows through the unit capturing contaminants on the outside of the filter elements.

Differential pressure across the filter is monitored, and at a preset parameter, the filter is isolated and purged with air, forcing contaminants out a separate drain path.

Only one filter unit at a time is automatically back flushed, therefore maintaining a continuous flow.
