What is Self Cleaning Filter

JX Filtration April 30, 2025 Self Cleaning Filter

The self-cleaning filter, also known as an automatic backwash filtration system, is designed for filtering various types of process liquids, viscous fluids, and water. It effectively removes particulate contaminants, sticky impurities, fibers, and more.

Key Components
The system includes the main filter body, gear motor, backwash mechanism, automatic backwash valve, filter elements, differential pressure transmitter, and control system. It is available in both vertical and horizontal configurations, with explosion-proof options also available.

Intelligent Control System
Equipped with an intelligent control system and differential pressure transmitter, the filter continuously monitors its operating status in real time. The automatic cleaning process can be triggered based on differential pressure or set intervals, ensuring uninterrupted filtration performance. The system is reliable, easy to adjust, and capable of quickly responding in case of any fault or malfunction.

Performance Advantages

This self-cleaning filter can operate continuously and automatically with a single unit. It offers excellent cleaning performance, high filtration accuracy (typically 5–250 microns, depending on process requirements), and high filtration efficiency. The backwash process generates minimal waste liquid.

These features enable the filter to operate reliably even in applications where conventional backwash filters may fail. JX Filtration offers a wide range of customization options to meet specific process needs, significantly expanding the use of automatic filtration technology across diverse industrial sectors.
