Azud - Helix AA - Automatic Self-Cleaning Disc Filter

Image-AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC FT200 AA DLP ENG_print

Brand:	Azud
Category:	Filtration, Automatic Filters - Disc.
Filtration Degree:	5-400 micron

Product Description

Self-cleaning disc filtration equipment composed by 1 to 10 filters AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC Ø2" with discs AZUD MG/ WS, which perform an in-depth 3D filtration, installed in-line on Ø2"-Ø8" inlet/outlet manifolds. Includes Ø2" backwash valves 3-way membrane type and the innovative DLP TECHNOLOGY, that enable the sequential low-pressure backwashing of each filter using a mix of filtered water and compressed air stored in an auxiliary tank, while continues the filtered water supply downstream.

The patented AZUD HELIX anti-clogging deflector provides a reliable filtration thanks to an effect of centrifugal separation, with less backwash frequency and less water and energy consumption.

Smart, compact and modular plug&play solution, made of technical thermoplastics, increases the shelf life of the installation providing a long-term operation with minimum operational costs and less maintenance downtime.

Features and Benefits

High water savings
An external pneumatic source drives the stored filtered water required for cleaning into a 10-liter accumulator tank and injects air into an auxiliary manifold to generate a water-air cleaning fluid that, at very high speed and in only 6-8 seconds, ensures more effective self-cleaning of the filter media with less water consumption.

Reliable
Guaranteed removal of inorganic and organic particles in suspension larger than 5-400 µm, with uninterrupted supply of filtered water thanks to the sequential backwashing of each filter element.

Innovative
Double filtration effect thanks to the AZUD HELIX device for centrifugal separation of heavier particles, and to the AZUD 3D DISCS with surface and depth filtration.

Robust
Compact and modular plug&play solution built with high quality technical thermoplastics, providing robustness, high corrosion resistance and long system life.

Self-employed
AZUD control unit that manages the automation of the self-cleaning process to ensure safe and autonomous operation.

Maintenance free
No moving parts to avoid maintenance and spare parts. No need for filter media replacement.”

The best protection against dripper clogging.

Prolongs the service life of the installation.

Ensures crop uniformity.

Reduces operating costs
Water consumption, energy and labour costs.

Technology - HOW DO THEY WORK

FILTRATION PHASE

Water flows from the inlet manifold to the inside of the filter, passing through the anticlogging deflector AZUD HELIX, which throws the heavy particles away from the disc stack, avoiding the quick clogging of the filter and minimizing the backwash frequency.
Water flows OUT-IN through the disc stack to the outlet manifold while particles bigger than the filtration degree are trapped in the disc.

SELF-CLEANING PHASE:

During the automatic backwash, a water-air mix is made, providing a more energetic and effective cleaning with a 80% water saving.
The water-air mix flows IN-OUT, decompressing the disc stack. High-speed flushing water flowing through the spray nozzles, creates a tangential cleaning effect that flush out the trapped particles.
