2000 Series ProGuard Automatic or Manual Backwash Filters

2000 Series Tubular Backwash Filtration Systems for Liquids

STANDARD FEATURES
2 to 28 Tubes per Bank Single Sided or Double Sided Arrangements Multiple banks for greater flow capacity Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, or Special Alloy Construction Operating Pressures to 350 PSI No-Nonsense, Fail Safe, Bolted Closure Automatic or Manual Backwash Capability Industry Standard Programmable Logic Control Systems Permanent Re-Usable Filter Media 1600 to 1 Micron Filtration ASME Code Design and Stamp Available Rugged, Maintenance Free Design GENERAL INFORMATION The Series 2000 Tubular Backwash Filters can be used in an extremely wide range of applications. They are particularly useful in processes where solids concentrations are relatively low and continuous operation is required. The expense of buying, storing and disposing of cartridges is eliminated by the Series 2000 permanent media available in wire mesh, fabric or wedge wire. STANDARD CONSTRUCTION The Series 2000 Filtration Systems feature 316 SS construction as standard. Carbon steel and carbon steel with epoxy lining are also available. Each tube is an all welded cylindrical housing containing a permanent filter element with 2" inlet, outlet and drain connections. The cap is a flat top, bolted type closure with a Buna O-ring seal. The stainless steel inlet and outlet headers are available in 4, 6, 8 and 10 inch sizes to handle specific flow rate requirements. Automatic backwash control is optional on the Series 2000 Systems. The standard systems are designed for a pressure range of 50 to 350 psi at a maximum of 250° F. Higher pressures and temperatures are available. AUTOMATIC BACKWASH The ProGuard Series 2000 Filtration System features a micro processor controlled backwash cycle. The state of the art programmable controller allows for backwashing at a predetermined time or differential pressure. Since there are no relays or contacts, the controls are virtually maintenance free. The controller can be changed in the field thereby tailored to fit in a specific application or process. The automatic backwash system can be optionally equipped with a manual override to facilitate troubleshooting and maintenance.
FILTER MEDIA All ProGuard filter elements are 3 1/4" OD x 40" lg. for a total surface area of 410 square inches. See the ProGuard MEDIA SELECTION GUIDE to assist you in choosing the appropriate filter media for your application.
Wire Mesh is available in ranges from 20 mesh (1/32") to 30 micron and consists of 316 SS woven wire cloth supported with a 316 SS perforated tube. The wire cloth exhibits excellent solids release characteristics and withstands high differential pressures. Specially woven wire cloth is available for filtration below 30 microns in specific applications. Fabric media is available in a variety of natural and synthetic fabrics to assure compatibility with a wide range of fluids and retain particles in the 1 to 250 micron range. Standard fabrics include polypropylene, polyester, nylon and cotton. The fabric is supported by a 316 SS screen and perforated tube. The fabric media exhibits higher flow rates per unit area than wire screens in the finer micron ranges. Fabric medias are especially suited for applications requiring 1 to 10 micron filtration. The perforated tube backup is designed to provide the structural strength required for filtering and backwashing. Wedge Wire media is an all 316 SS triangular shaped wire wound around vertical supports and is available for retentions of 10 mesh (.063") to 15 microns. The wedge wire is excellent for highly viscous or abrasive slurries and will withstand very high differential pressures and temperatures.
