How the thread filter MT33P works

The MT33P Thread filters remove dirt particles as water flows through the multi-layered thread cassettes (5) to the collecting pipe (3) and out of the filter via outlets (4). Dirt particles that accumulate on and in between the thread layers cause a pressure differential, and at a preset level or time interval, the control unit (6) activates the self-cleaning cycle :
The inlet and outlet valves (7,8) close, and the drain (9) and flushing valves (10) open.
The booster pump (11) delivers the pressurized water to the shuttle pipe (12). This pipe carries water to the nozzles (13) that spray the surface of each cassette row. The water spray, referred to as the flushing jet stream, penetrates the thread layers and hits the plastic support (14). The returning stream (referred to as the reject stream) together with the dirt from the cassette flows through the filter housing and out of the filter via the drain valve (9). The combined flushing jet and reject streams ensure 100% cleaning.
The piston assembly propels the linear movement of the nozzles. When the piston reaches the end of the cassette row, the nozzle turns the cassette package to begin the next stroke until the entire cassette package is clean.
When all rows have been cleaned, the flushing valve (10) and the drain (9) close. The inlet and outlet valves (7,8) open allowing water to flow through the filter and the booster pump (11) stops operating.
