Automatic Self Cleaning Filter | Self Cleaning Water Filter
What is an Automatic self cleaning filter system? Automatic self-cleaning filter (also known as automatic backwash filter) is the best solution for continuous separation of solid particles in Gas, Oil, Water, and Waste Water Treatment plants.This self cleaning filter system eliminates the need for replacement cartridges by having a backwash system that can be controlled either fully automatically or semi-automatically depending on the model. A self cleaning strainer can intercept impurities directly through filter mesh to remove the suspended substance and solid particles in the water (The liquid to be filtered can be different: well water, sea water, ground water, surface water, river water, crude oil, fuel oil, etc.), decrease turbidity and reduce the generation of dirt, bacteria and algae and corrosion to ensure that other instruments in the system are in normal operation with the water cleaned. (Self cleaning filter can clear the suspended particles ranging from 10 microns to 1,200 microns.)
The traditional industrial filter systems have a low dirty-hold ability since the mesh filters are easily blocked. They can only be washed and cleaned by dismounting the automatic back wash filter part. Besides, the filters can’t be monitored to ensure their condition. As you can see, automatic self-cleaning water filters overcome all these problems. After filtering the raw water, it can use the unlimited amount of water supplied during this process to automatically clean the filter element. Last but not the least, it is highly automated and has a monitored working status.
Saifilter’s automatic self-cleaning filter system can protect pipes and equipment from the erosion of scale accumulation and prevent excessive loss of water flow in the pumping system to reduce pollutant deposition and nozzle plugging leading to poor pump efficiency. Moreover, automatic self cleaning filter will help you reduce the labor and water costs since this filtration system doesn't need any manual flushing and cleaning and it uses the precise amount needed.

Automatic Self Cleaning Filter Working Principle
Filtration Process: the media flows into the strainer from the inlet and through the screen, then the clean water flows out from the outlet. Impurities accumulate to form the filter cakes on the inner surface of screens, at the same time, the pressure difference between the inner of screens and the exterior of screens is formed gradually. When the differential pressure reaches a set value such as 0.3Bar,the pressure sensor will send a signal to the controller to the PLC (program logic control).
Self-cleaning Process: when the pressure difference reaches default value, the signal is sent to PLC (program logic control) by differential pressure switch; when PLC drives the motor, the shaft begins to rotate, then the rotating brush can clean the impurities away from the inner surface of screens. At the same time, the drain valve is opened by PLC, the impurities are discharged from the drain valve by system inner pressure. The entire backwashing process is automatically finished within only a few seconds, and the main water flow will not be interrupted in the self-cleaning process.
Self Cleaning Filter Applications
The automatic self-cleaning filter system is mainly used in terms of water purification. And it can be used for water filtration, water treatment, and water transformation in industries, agriculture, power, electronics, medicine, food, printing and dyeing, construction, steel, metallurgy, papermaking, coal mine, swimming pool, landscape, greening, and other industries, especially in the field of microfiltration in the procession of high water quality requirements.

Main Configuration of Automatic Self Cleaning Filter System
The construction materials of self cleaning filter can be cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, or special austenitic ferritic steel, such as Super Duplex, Duplex, Titanium, and Nickel Alloy. All our auto backwash filters are designed according to all international design codes (such as BS, ASME, VSR, etc.).
Every automatic self-cleaning filter consists of self cleaning water filter house, multiple filters, backwash system, control panel, electric cabinet, reduction box, electric valve, and differential pressure controller. The diaphragm in the housing divides the whole cavity into the upper part and lower one. In the upper cavity, there are many filter cores equipped, which take full use of filtering space with filter volume greatly reduced. The lower one has a backwashing suction cap installed. When it’s working, the muddy fluid flows into the lower cavity of the filter from its inlet, passes through the diaphragm, and then gets into the intracavity of the filter core. Based on the fact that impurities larger than the gap of the filter core will be intercepted, the cleaning fluid will pass through the gap arriving upper cavity and finally flow out of the outlet.
Note: We get all the main electrical components from ABB company. They have intellectualized design and available highest quality. According to different application requirements, the core filter elements can be respectively wedge-shaped wire mesh and sintered composite metal mesh different from competitors' PVC elements. Each component is fused to form a whole and has strong durability.
Pretreatment of Self Cleaning Filter for Water
The pretreatment of water filtration is to reduce suspended and colloid contents in water to a certain extent or remove them directly to meet the general water requirements. Usually, there are three steps in terms of pretreatment of an automatic self cleaning water filter system:
- Sedimentation
Through natural sedimentation such as grit chamber or medicine soften such as chemical agent, silt and large suspended particles will become harder temporarily and then formed sediments to settle at the bottom. - Filtration
Impurities in the treated water will be intercepted and removed by granular filter material. The left part is the cleaned water. This step can be done in various kinds of filter chambers and filters. - Coagulation and clarification
With the help of coagulant, the size, shape, and density of solid particles in the water will be changed to separate itself from water.
Major Advantages of Auto Self Cleaning Filter System
- Self-cleaning time is short: Based on the automatic backwash of differential pressure devices, pressure control, and electric control options, the time of the self-cleaning cycle is short. It usually takes only 5-30 seconds to complete a backwash cycle, compared to other filtration methods, taking several hours to complete the cleaning process probably.
- The bottom of the automatic self-cleaning filter is equipped with a centrifugal disk, which can generate vortex with centrifugal force formed. In this way, the solid particles can be far away from the filter disk and gather on the top of the filter with the aim of a lower cleaning frequency.
- During backwashing, the four columns in the center of the self cleaning water filter core spray water in a tangential direction to strike the disk and make it rotated. Then the dirt on the disk will separate from the disk with the help of centrifugal force, which is convenient for cleaning with lower cleaning time.
- The shell is made of ABS or nylon engineering plastics, which is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion and has strong impact resistance.
