Heco Autoline Filters, are compact, self-cleaning,
automatic filters, manufactured in AISI 316L stainless steel material and are
available in the UK from
GEA Process Engineering Ltd - Niro.
Their robust construction makes them ideal for cleaning practically all
liquids, from highly viscous printers inks and glues, to cooling water, via
greases, paints, fermantation liquors, antibiotic suspensions and many more.
The filtration principle is based on using a defined surface filter
element, for example wedge-wire or laser-bored, with the dirt particles being
retained on the inside surface and cleaned away by means of a scrapper, driven
up and down by a pneumatic piston.
The Autoline filter has few moving
parts, thus minimal maintenance is required, and its self-cleaning function
isolates operators from coming into contact with hot or corrosive liquors and
equally protects the liquid product from contamination from outside
sources.
