GAPS Water Treatment surface filtration

Spin-DownTM Filters
Fine actuate filtration in cartridge format starts to become uneconomic when faced with larger particulate. At 100 micron plus, bag systems offer an effective solution in many industrial applications whereas numerous commercial applications can benefit from this inexpensive centrifuge unit, Spin-Down. The Spin-Down works by creating a spinning motion from top to bottom. Particulate continues to the lower section of the unit with clean water passing through the polyester filter screen and out the outlet port. In the sediment trap version, debris collects in the bottom half of the bowl allowing for longer interval between conveniently flushing with 1/2" valve on the units base. The advantage of using full length screen is higher flow rates. Spin-Down is available in 3/4" male threaded connections and 1", 11/2" and 2" female socket connections.

stainless steel
Making an economical alternative to over the traditional cartridges, the mesh range has the ability to be re-used over and over again, as well as stainless steel versions offering high temperature and aggressive process fluids capabilities as well as reduction of diposal requirements being a positive environmental issue.

filter sleeves
Filter sleeves provide surface filtration in the most popular configuration, 10", allowing installation into all conventional 10" filter housings, as well as the miniature housings F10 and F20

The range consists of seven grades from 5 to 350 micron. For finer filtration, 5 micron disposable, porous polyethylene should be used, with coarser applications using the nylon mesh sleeves in 50 micron (white), 100 micron (blue), 150 micron (brown), 200 micron (green), 350 micron (grey), which are colour coded for convenience.

Each sleeve requires a support core that, as it suggests, gives the sleeve the strength it requires to withstand pressure differentials as the media removes debris. This is the first economic advantage these products offer over traditional cartridges, as in the economy of not disposing of the whole cartridge, the support is used again and again. The second advantage is that all nylon mesh sleeves can be easily washed free of debris and, like the support core, can be used again and again.

With the exemption of F10 nylon mesh sleeves, all sleeves require a reusable support core of relevant size. The nylon F10 sleeve fits directly into the head of the housing.
