It is the exceptional effective cleaning performance of the rotary leaf filter what sets this type of filter apart from other pressure leaf filter designs. Every square inch of filter mesh or filter cloth is passing through the most effective range of the specially designed spray nozzles twice, every single rotation.
Removing the filter cake from the leaves is the first step of the cake discharge phase. Effectively evacuating the cake from the filter tank is just as important.
HOWEVER
The best cleaning filter CAME at a price, a very high price.
Most conventional filter leaf designs are complicated, material and labor intensive and consequently EXPENSIVE. Some leaf designs are sold at a reduced price but one can not expect the same life expectancy.
Solution:
American Filter Systems developed a robust, durable heavy duty filter element at a very economical price with NO concessions to the quality.
The leaf pack is the single most expensive part of the filter. By reducing the cost for materials and labor we now can offer rotary type leaf filters at a competitive price.
One of the major advantages is the fact that also the metallic filter screens can be replaced at your site without the use of special machines or tools, providing enormous savings down the road when new wire mesh screens have to be installed.
