Accessories for filtration systems

Filtration

Find out a complete range of accessories for filtration systems, for accurate operation of filter stations:

Differential pressure switch gauge 0-10 bars: for media filters and filter stations. As water percolates through the filtering bed, trapped materials or particles cause a differerential pressure; this pressure sensor regulates the backflush cycle as pressure reaches a preset value. Pressure switch is placed on the suction/drain manifold of the filtration system.

Quartz gravel bags of 25 kg each, granulometry 0,2-1,2 or 1,5-2,2: gravel of different particles size to fill filters. Althought the most used media in agriculture is sand, other media are also available, such as gravel, carbon, anthracite, basalt.

AC/DC backflush controller 2-4-6 stations: filtration stations and systems are cleaned by running frequent backwash cycles; these consist in inverting the water flow, thus bringing in suspension all withholded dirt particles which are then drained through the drain pipe by the backflush valve. Backflush cycles can be activated by one of the following factors:

  1. A signal by the pressure switch gauge;
  2. A setted time interval;
  3. Manual starting.

Plastic backflush valve: these elecetrical valves are used in combination with the backflush controllers; suitable for sand media filter systems, gravel filters, disc or screen filters, both single or in assemblies. The backflush valve closes the filter inlet, redirecting water flow in the opposite direction, making it pass through the filtrating elements thus cleaning them from trapped dirt and impurities untill their purge.
