Aite multi-tank parallel shallow sand filter – automatic backwash, 40% less floor space, 50% less piping, 16–96 inch expandable units.
1. Product Introduction
Aite Multi-Tank Parallel Shallow Sand Filter can be used as a stand-alone filtration system using the supply water pump
in the existing process, or if used as a bypass filter, it can be equipped with its own pump separately. Multiple processing
units can also be installed on the common pipe, so that the system can achieve unlimited filtration capacity.
The backwashing of Aite Multi-Tank Parallel Shallow Sand Filter can be done manually, semi-automatically,
or fully automatically – started by manual button, PLC, pressure difference, or management system respectively.
Backwash cycle and backwash time can be adjusted, set to 3 minutes when leaving the factory. This control by DCS
automatic filter control system can be achieved, and users can also choose a PLC control system to achieve centralized
or remote communication and other high requirements of control.
As a professional manufacturer specializing in industrial water filtration equipment, we deliver Aite Multi-Tank Parallel
Shallow Sand Filter with stable performance, reliable construction, and competitive pricing for industrial facilities
worldwide.
2. Principle of Filtration
Aite Multi-Tank Parallel Shallow Sand Filter operates through a two-stage process:
Filtering State
When the system is in the filtering state, pressurized water flows into the water distribution system from the filter unit
inlet and uniformly reaches the filter material layer. When the water flows through the filter material layer, suspended
matter is intercepted by the filter material. The bottom of the filter has a precision gap collector, and filtered clean
water is uniformly collected and flows out of the filter.
Backwash State
With the continuous accumulation of impurities in the filter material layer, pressure loss continues to increase.
When the pressure difference increases to a certain set value or reaches the set cleaning time, Aite Multi-Tank Parallel
Shallow Sand Filter automatically switches to the backwash state. Pressurized water enters the filter material layer
through the water collection device and washes it to make the trapped pollutants fall off and discharge out of the
filtration system. After the backwash lasts for at least 2 minutes, the valve automatically switches the system to the
filtered state.
