Description

Product Overview of Automatic Disc Filter System

This automatic backwash disc filter system is a modular filtration solution built for high-flow irrigation applications. It consists of multiple disc filter units connected in parallel, each containing grooved filter discs that provide three-dimensional depth filtration for particle removal. A helical spiral structure within each unit creates a centrifugal effect during operation, rotating water at high speed to move heavier particles away from disc surfaces before filtration. The system supports continuous operation during cleaning cycles, as each unit backwashes using filtered water from other active units.

Product Features

Key Features of Modular Backwash Filter System

Modular Scalable Flow Design

Each system uses standard parallel-connected filter units, with configurations ranging from 1 to 8 units. Flow capacities range from 10 m³/h to 480 m³/h, matching specific project requirements. Additional units can be added after initial installation to increase capacity, provided the manifold and controller are sized for expansion, eliminating the need to replace existing equipment.

Helical Centrifugal Pre-Separation

The integrated spiral structure generates centrifugal force during filtration, separating heavier inorganic particles from the water stream before they contact the disc stack. This pre-separation reduces the load on filter discs and extends intervals between backwash cycles.

Three-Dimensional Depth Filtration

Stacked plastic discs with precision grooves form the core filtration elements, trapping particles throughout their depth rather than only on the surface. This design accommodates both organic contaminants (algae, seeds) and inorganic contaminants (sand, sediment).

Automatic Operation with Multiple Triggers

A dedicated controller manages filtration, backwash cleaning, and sewerage functions. Backwash cycles can be initiated by pressure differential sensing, preset time intervals, or manual control. The controller coordinates cleaning sequences across all units to maintain uninterrupted water supply.

High Pressure Compatibility

The system is engineered for a maximum working pressure of 10 Kg/cm², supporting a range of agricultural and industrial applications. A minimum backwash pressure of 2.5 Kg/cm² is required for effective cleaning.

Product Uses

Application Scenarios for Agricultural Disc Filters

This system is used in large agricultural irrigation projects covering hundreds of hectares, surface water intake from rivers and canals, multi-zone greenhouse complexes, golf course and landscape irrigation, industrial water pre-filtration, municipal water supply, and remote agricultural installations where manual maintenance is impractical.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

Basic Installation Steps

Prepare a level concrete foundation to support system weight, with adequate space for maintenance access.

Position the system and ensure the manifold is horizontal using a level.

Connect inlet and outlet pipes to flanged connections with proper gaskets, tightening bolts evenly in a cross pattern.

Install the backwash drain line with no restrictions, and connect power and pressure sensors to the controller.

Slowly pressurize the system to check for leaks and verify controller operation.

Routine Maintenance Schedule

Weekly: Check pressure differential readings and inspect drain lines for blockages.

Monthly: Test manual backwash function and inspect pressure sensor connections.

Annual: Inspect disc stacks for wear, clean discs if biological fouling is present, and replace seals and O-rings as needed.

FAQ

FAQ About Disc Filter Systems

How does the automatic backwash disc filter system operate?

During normal operation, water flows through all parallel filter units, with grooved discs capturing suspended particles. When backwash is initiated, the controller isolates one unit at a time, and filtered water from other active units flows in reverse through the isolated unit. The disc stack decompresses and rotates, releasing captured particles which exit through the drain line. The cleaned unit then returns to service.

What flow rates and configurations are available?

Standard systems include 1 to 8 filter units, with flow rates ranging from 10 m³/h to 480 m³/h depending on water quality. Custom configurations are available upon request.

What water quality conditions can this system accommodate?

The system handles water quality ranging from very poor (high sediment and algae) to clean sources. Flow rates vary by water quality classification, as shown in the system configurations table.

Can the system be expanded after initial installation?

Yes, additional filter units can be added to increase flow capacity, provided the manifold and controller are sized to support expansion during initial installation.
