Introduction

The FILTOMAT M100 is a sophisticated, yet easy-to-operate automatic filter, with a self-cleaning mechanism driven by a hydraulic turbine. The FILTOMAT M100 is designed to work with various types of screens with filtration degrees from 500 to 80 micron, and is available in 3″ and 4″ inlet/outlet diameter.
The FILTOMAT M100 filters are configured to meet your specific needs according to flow rates and water quality. These filters can be installed as stand-alone units for low flow rates, or assembled in a group on a manifold when high flow
rates and/or a large screen area are required. The filters are delivered fully assembled, requiring a simple connection to the inlet and outlet and to the exhaust.

General Description

Water enters the filter through the inlet pipe and passes through a coarse screen which is designed to protect the cleaning mechanism from large dirt particles. It should not accumulate large quantities of suspended solids and is not cleaned automatically. The water then flows through a fine screen that filters out the smaller particles. Clean water then flows from the filter through the outlet. The particles form a “filtration cake” which accumulates on the fine screen surface. The cake build-up increases the pressure differential across the fine screen, and at a pre-set value of 0.5 bar (7psi) the automatic self-cleaning cycle begins. Suction nozzles sweep across the surface of the fine screen pulling debris off and expelling it out of the exhaust valve.
This innovative self-cleaning process, utilizes the backflush technique to effectively remove the dirt particles from the fine screen, and provide an uninterrupted downstream flow during the self-cleaning cycle.

Self-Cleaning Cycle
The automatic self-cleaning cycle described below takes several seconds and does not interrupt the supply of process water.
Water flows from the inlet through the coarse and fine screens to the outlet. At a pre-set pressure differential (0.5 bar; 7 psi), the controller opens the exhaust valve. The pressure in the rotor chamber drops, releasing a strong backflush stream that flows through the nozzles and then out the exhaust.
The drop in pressure and corresponding release of the back flush stream creates a suction at the nozzle tips. This effect actuates spot cleaning directly in front of the openings of each nozzle on the inner surface of the fine screen.
Backflush water flows through the collector pipe, via the rotor to the exhaust valve forcing the dirt collector assembly to spin. The first backflush stroke begins when the pressure-drop in the rotor chamber permits the suction scanner assembly to move upward.
When the first stroke is completed, the exhaust valve closes and after a very short interval the rinse controller activates the second backflush stroke (downward). The dirt collector assembly moves downward returning to its original position.
The two stroke helical movement of the dirt collector assembly as described ensures that the nozzles sweep the entire inner surface of the fine screen.
This self-cleaning process takes approx. 10 seconds, depending on the operating pressure.

Installation

Read these instructions carefully before installing and operating the filter.

Design Recommendations

• If a prolonged pipeline fill time causes a temporary high flow and low pressure condition, it is recommended that you install a pressure sustaining valve downstream of the filter. The pressure-sustaining valve will ensure a controlled fill-up of the line.
• The upstream pressure source should not drop below 2 bar (30 psi) during the rinse cycle. If this cannot be ensured, consult the manufacturer.
• If continued water delivery is essential even during “down time” maintenance periods, it is recommended that a manual or automatic by-pass be installed, and that isolating valves be installed up and downstream of each filter unit for isolation purposes.
• Avoid placing the drainage pipe on a rising slope to minimize backpressure.
• Secure the open end of the drain pipe to prevent movement during the rinse cycle.
• It is recommended to install a mechanical non-return valve downstream of the filter.
• It is recommended to install a pressure gauge on the three-way valve.
• Check that there is sufficient space to remove the cover assembly and the screen from the filter for troubleshooting.

Preparations for Installation

• Ensure suitable lighting at the area of the filter to enable good visibility and safe maintenance.
• Arrange suitable platforms and safety barriers to enable easy, safe access to the filter.
• It is recommended to install a mechanical non-return valve downstream of the filter to prevent backflow damage to the screen.
• Allow a convenient approach and enough space for dismantling and maintenance.

Installation Procedure
Ensure the direction of flow according to the arrows marked on the filter housing.

1. Connect a minimum of 2″ (50mm) pipe to the exhaust valve. The exhaust pipe should be designed so that it creates minimal resistance to flow of 20m³/h (88USgpm). Water should be allowed to flow to atmosphere freely from the exhaust pipe.
2. Connect a minimum of 1″ (25mm) flexible tube to the rinse controller drain port. Ensure this drain line is open to atmosphere.

IMPORTANT!!

• Prevent static back pressure or reverse flow through the filter.
• Install a manual or a hydraulic valve downstream of the filter.

NOTE : The filter may enter flush mode automatically, without prior warning.

Preparations

Before using the filter for the first time, go through the following check- list carefully. No special training is required to carry out these activities.

• Check that the upstream pressure at the filter inlet is more than 2 bar (30 psi) during the flushing cycle.
• Check that the filter is mounted in the correct flow direction.
• Check that all the control tubes are connected properly and that all connections are tight.
• Check that the three-way mini-valve is turned to the automatic position. The arrow on the knob should point to AUTO.
• The nominal diameter of the drainpipe should be 2″ (50 mm), in order not to restrict the drain line.
• Shut the upstream and downstream isolation valves.
• Check that there is sufficient space to remove the cover assembly and the screen from the filter for troubleshooting.

Getting Started

First operation of filter
After completing the preparation check-list above, perform the following steps:

1. Slowly open the isolating valve at the filter inlet. Water will flow into the filter.
2. Check for leaks and repair if necessary.
3. Check that the minimum inlet pressure remains 2 bar (30 psi) or higher.
4. Slowly open the isolating valve at the outlet of the filter.
5. If there is a by-pass valve, close it slowly.
6. Ensure the flow through the filter does not exceed the filters published maximum flow rate.
7. Start a manual flush by turning the three-way valve to the OPEN position for a few seconds, and then turn it back to AUTO.
8. During the self-cleaning cycle, check the pressure at the filter inlet and in the rotor chamber.

NOTE : The minimum pressure in the rotor chamber should be 1.5 bar lower than the inlet pressure.

Maintenance

NOTE : Depressurize the filter before maintenance (close inlet, and then outlet valve).

Checking the Filter

1. Remove the filter cover by unscrewing the fastening nuts.

2. Extract the fine screen and clean if necessary. Cleaning may be performed by hosing the screen from outside-in, and/or with a nylon brush.

3. Check the coarse screen and clean if necessary.

4. Check the O-rings of the fine screen and apply grease, if necessary.

5. Reassemble the fine screen.
   NOTE : Check that the dirt collector shaft is properly aligned in the bearing.

6. Return the cover and fasten the nuts.

7. Perform First Operation of Filter as on page 10.

Winterization
Filter operations should be suspended in climates where the filter is exposed to freezing temperatures.

1. Check that the outlet isolating valve is closed and perform two manual rinses.

2. Close the inlet valve to the filter and release the pressure.

3. Mark the tubes that are linked to the ADI-P controller and disconnect it from the controller for the duration of the winter season.

4. Remove the following items from the filter and store in a dry place:
   a. Top lid assembly
   b. Coarse and fine screen assembly

5. Apply grease to the O-rings of the fine screen before storing.

At the beginning of the operation season, reassemble the filter elements and check Preparations (on page 10) and First Operation of Filter (page 10).
